QR Good F/C fare from HKG-ZRH - worth it?
Hi all
I have the option of taking QR from HKG via DOH to ZRH in First/Business Class. The airfare seems great:
QR 817 16FEB HKG DOH HK2 1815 2315 16FEB (First)
QR 061 17FEB DOH ZRH HK2 0145 0630 17FEB (Business)
QR 062 02MAY ZRH DOH HK2 1105 1855 02MAY (Business)
QR 816 03MAY DOH HKG HK2 0125 1415 03MAY (First)
HKD 21820 plus 1298 Taxes per Person (about EUR 1900 total)
I am going to HKG on vacation on LH. I would rebook my LH return flight to mid-May, thereby using the first QR flight as actual return flight to Europe, and the second flight as the outbound flight to my next vacation.
So it's a pure leisure trip, I don't have to go, but the fare is tempting. I have never been on a QR flight and reviews are mixed. So what do you think, should I go for it?
regards

You'll also be able to credit your miles to your LH FTL program too, right?
Despite my deep dislike of QR, it's more to do with the particular route I take and the attitude of customer service staff.
On a good plane, QR are great. So for price, convenience, plus miles - go for it.

You can credit to LH at 200% in J and 300% in F - no exec bonus.
Additionally you can credit to BMI also at the same earn rates but you will get a 25% exec bonus too !
