  Just for info, I booked a Qatar flight yesterday using the MASTERCARD promotion and I did have to pay with MasterCard.

  • Jen says:

    Me too – no other payment options given at the last screen.

  • Richard says:

    I tried 5 or 6 times with my curve card and it kept not going through. Then I got an email saying my booking was on hold and to keep the flights i should pay within 12 hrs. I went to manage my booking and was prompted to pay, and then I could pay with any card i liked for the original price 🙂

    After you get a booking ref and before you pay, open a new browser window. Go to QA site, manage booking, enter booking ref and name. Booking will be on hold awaiting payment. Go to pay…now you can pay with any card.

  I’m guessing Curve works?

  • Andrew says:

    12 May12 May 07:16

    Curve works fine but yes, you don’t get any other payment options other than Mastercard.

  On the A350 earlier this year we found the middle seats very far apart.
  Better than the “honeymoon” layouts if one is travelling together.
  But travelling as a couple, we decided we would have been better off either side of an aisle.

  Perhaps someone can comment on CPH v ARN, but for QR I expect they are better than TXL.
  At TXL, Qatar don’t get an airbridge so it’s a ‘bus (not separate for Business Class) and walk up the stair experience.
  Less of an issue in the summer, unless it’s raining.

  And the available lounge is fairly miserable – see https://headforpoints.com/2017/01/11/my-review-of-the-british-airways-terraces-lounge-at-berlin-tegel-airport/

    “together” should be “on one’s own”
    Sorry!

    We did CPH to DOH on the Qatar 787. The lounge was ok but not great. No showers. Middle pair of seats on the 787 in J were fine. But I actually preferred their 777, I found the seats more comfortable, particularly as a couple.

    • AndyR says:

      12 May12 May 07:27

      Agreed. Everyone moans about the 777, but for a couple they are great and it feels so much more spacious than the newer seats on 787, A350 and A380.

      • Ian says:

        12 May12 May 09:14

        Absolutely agree. Give me the comfortable old 777 any day where I can stretch straight out rather than have to squeeze my legs into a coffin-shaped hole.

      • Andrew (@andrewseftel) says:

        Yup I also prefer the 777 to the 787 (for a couple). So much space

    • Bob says:

      I was on the 777-300 (the version with the single 4 row J-cabin) earlier this year, had 3A from DOH to AMS and I hardly noticed my neighbour. Getting up never was a problem. I say a great aircraft and very comfy seats.

  I’ve had a look and can’t find anything in the current sale(s) to Asia for July/August.
  Is that likely to change, or am I missing anything?

  • Rashad says:

    12 May12 May 07:44

    “It is only available for departures between now and 21st June”

    • Chris says:

      12 May12 May 09:01

      Yes thank you I read that bit. There’s also another set of sale fares from late August.

      I’m asking if there’s anything floating around that anyone’s found for July or August, or if anything is likely to come up. A long-shot I know.

  Another OT (ish): What happens when you fly after the end of your tier point collection year, but before the end of your membership year? Do the tier points go towards the next collection year? Thanks

  • Andrew says:

    12 May12 May 07:44

    The TPs will count in your next year.

    • john says:

      12 May12 May 09:32

      BA will offer a 2week grace so you can credit to previous year if you ask but you get better value it being the next year as you are likely to get silver for longer (rest of year + next).

  • Rob says:

    12 May12 May 08:18

    Yes, the new year

• NickS says:

  I just booked last night but from TXL 🙁 What is that business seat like as thats my night flight?
  And if anyone is interested, I simply booked a ‘dummy’ return in economy which I won’t use which means I essentially bought TXL – SIN business one way for £650.

  • Justin says:

    12 May12 May 10:18

    Would you not have the pay the ‘no show’ fee if you skip the return?

    • John says:

      12 May12 May 14:06

      The no show fee is merely a deduction from any refund you might request or if the ticket is changeable to another date

  Does the free stop over in Doha with hotel work with this fantastic Singapore deal?

  • Andrew says:

    12 May12 May 08:21

    Should do. QR say adding a stopover doesn’t increase the fare. Just book using multi-city.

  • Polly says:

    12 May12 May 08:25

    Should do, read ribs article from may 9th…

  • Lawro says:

    12 May12 May 13:05

    AFAIK terms say you need min 12-hour connection to use so worth double checking flight times.

  • John says:

    12 May12 May 14:08

    You only get a hotel if there is no possible connection in under 8 hours
    If there is even if it costs £5000 then you don’t get a hotel

    • Ben says:

      15 May15 May 01:50

      No, there’s currently a hotel promo for all stops over 12 hours.

• Dale says:

  12 May12 May 08:25

  OT – but why have HBO fare disappeared from ba.com for domestic flights? Or is it something I’ve done to search criteria??

  • Aliks says:

    12 May12 May 09:21

    I think they just renamed it – check the restrictions by clicking the “more info” button
