  Can anyone answer a question for me regarding travelling with an infant? I’m trying to book the Companion business class fare from London to Melbourne. For 2 adults, it lists as £5K, but once I add the infant, the promotion is removed and I’m billed the full £3.6K per adult and the additional 10% for the infant. Is this just a website pricing error or the way the promotion works, i.e. not possible to get the companion deal when adding an infant?

    Mark is this on Go to Gate? If it is I had the same problem yesterday when adding my Daughter as a child 0-17. Ended up adding her as an adult to achieve the low pricing. When you go through the booking process it does not ask for age so she gets added as a Ms.

      It’s on the Qatar site. I want to book 2 adults + 1 infant total. Not sure booking as 3 adults would solve the problem as I’m trying to retain the 2 for 1 adult companion fare.

        I had this problem last year, spoke to C S and they said the companion offer wasn’t valid with an infant. Try ringing them, you might speak to someone with a different answer.

  Can anyone confirm that these fares need a 6 or 7 night stay? I can’t see it specified anywhere or in the fare rules, but can’t seem to generate them with anything shorter.

  • Rob says:

    It is in the terms and conditions isn’t it? I saw some min stay restrictions last night (on phone so cannot check).

    Having the same issue here Jules, can’t find anything less than 6-7 nights.

  • Breeze says:

    Fare Terms: Minimum stay: 7 days for Business.

  Are you sure that ALL of their 777’s are now fully flat?
  That was not the case in March.

  • Rob says:

    12 Jan12 January 08:48

    No, I was told that but I have not seen it officially in writing.

    All of their 777s are equipped with fully flat seats. It is their A330s which have been going through a refurbishment to have flat seats installed. Most are now complete.

    Qatar are notorious for aircraft swaps, so best to book on the basis of the schedule that works best for you, as opposed to the aircraft you’ll be hoping to fly. Helps to manage expectations!

  Great deal, thanks for sharing Rob. Booked OSL-BKK through GoToGate for £606 pp.

  Wow. Has there ever been a cheaper business class fare to Sydney? Even factoring in flights to Oslo and a couple of hotel nights there. It makes me wonder if it’s worthwhile spending all year saving Avios, getting the Lloyds credit card, spending £7k for the upgrade voucher, and then trying to find availability LHR-SYD in club sometime (realistically) in 2018!

    OSL-ADL with QR was £1350 in May-June, but those fares expired on 10th Jan

    Qatar can’t keep this up indefinitely, that’s the thing ….

    • AndyR says:

      But as you often mention, how else will they fill all these J seats from places like OSL, CPH etc?

  I have been trying to check on BA’s avios flight calculator to see how many avios I would earn for the Oslo to HKG route but it keeps showing up as error? Does anyone know would I still earn the tier points and avios? (Still new to this!)

  Thanks in advance!

  • Clive says:

    You need to split into segments as QR do not fly direct to HKG

    OSL – DOH
    DOH – HKG

  • neil says:

    12 Jan12 January 09:40

    You need to put in each leg seperately. e.g OSL-DOH, then DOH-HKG

  • AmandaB says:

    Yes you will earn Avios & Tier points. You must enter your BAEC number in the frequent flyer section.

  Last year I locked in a 2-4-1 Club booking to KL (bound for Bali) for Sept 16. I Was waiting for a offer just like this. Have canx and re-booked with Qatar to Bali from Paris for just €2926 for 2 pax. Only
  £1250 more than I was paying in tax. And it will secure my Silver BAEC for 2017/8. Very happy this morning ✈️ Shame not to experience the B787 but having flown Qatar previously, their business class is streets ahead of BA.
