  Anybody know what the Qatar lounge in Stockholm is like?

  • David S says:

    Third party lounge. Nothing special. Small selection of snacks and drinks and free wifi. Not like a proper Qatar airways lounge- unfortunately.

    Def nothing special – a few very uncomfortable chairs, very limited food and drink…def dont waste any time there if you dont have to!

  Hi Folks – am I correct in thinking that to earn BA tier points on the Qatar flights, one needs to book via the BA website?

  Also – are there any handy lists or search tools anywhere that will list the flights TO a destination rather than from? The airline sale pages are currently blank when I try to look at the country special offers.

  Thanks

    Can book via any means – just need to add BAEC no to Qatar booking

    • Rob says:

      You can’t book Qatar cash flights via ba.com anyway.

      The ITA Matrix tool (do a search on here for how to use it) should allow you to do the search you are thinking about.

    Hi Serena
    You can book by any means including websites like Expedia etc but then go into manage the booking page on Qatar airways website using your booking reference and under passenger details, you can add you BA Executive club number.

  How very odd , I’m not getting any discounts at all . Looking at MAD to DEL rtn in both Business and Economy and the prices for both are exactly what they were 3 days ago (£1185 Econ in & £2200 Business) . Am i doing something wrong here?

• Saj says:

  What dates are the £601 fares to DXB do not get the price when I search ?

  • Rob says:

    29 Aug29 August 13:41

    It was freely available last night, just over 13,000 SEK for 2. Have they corrected it to the ‘official’ sale price?

    • Matt Lee says:

      29 Aug29 August 14:41

  Some good prices in economy out of Europe as well – was looking for a friend for flights to Jakarta in October/November – and for HEL-CGK-CDG is coming in at £287 (including the 10% discount code they’ve just sent out)

  • Mart says:

          10% discount! well done, mate – nice one 🙂

      • JamesWag says:

        4 Sep4 September 05:59

        That sounds like if you use the 10% discount code you’ll get the triple miles which allegedly comes at the expense of losing the flights counting towards the globetrotter promo (if they fit into that anyway).

        • JamesWag says:

          4 Sep4 September 06:25

          Or are the 10% off and the triple miles unrelated ??

  • JamesWag says:

    “for a friend”…. It’s okay to admit you fly economy once in a while 🙂

  By the way, just flew KUL to MUC via Doha on QR R fare. Bought a separate BA ticket (which included several other sectors on later dates) to LHR departing 4 hours later. Funnily QR check in at KUL managed to tag my luggage all the way to LHR.

  Unfortunately the QR departure from Doha was delayed 4h 40m. QR was fantastic, contacted BA got me another ticket for a later BA flight within the same booking reference.

  Also my bags failed to turn up & BA couriered them to me at the evening of the next day.

  Great QR business class compared to CW. Great QR lounge at Doha too.

    I was delayed 2hrs on my recent CPT-DOH when a very unfortunate member of the crew blew the front right door off, inflating the emergency slide whilst performing final checks on it. Some people missed connections but I’m sure QR would have helped them out.
    I had a lovely view of it all from my 787 seat in J 🙂

  Lots of talk about BA CE positioning flights to connect (oslo, cph & arl) in the comments. An important angle to factor in, which wasn’t there in previous deals, is the new Plus fare structure (non-CE): being able to change your flight on-day is fantastic for the return legs as a) you’ll be connecting in DOH, commonly same day as the final LHR/LGW leg, and certainly you’ll be on tarmac in DOH with knowledge of which on-connection to London you need to be on; and b) these airports have multiple BA flights per day.

  Example: i’m flying back SYD – DOH – CPH – LGW. the latter leg a separately bought BA Plus ticket. it takes off 3 hours after the DOH-CPH leg is due to land. i can be on tarmac in DOH and will be able to use my mobile to either delay to later flight, for free, or keep original booking with the 3 hour connection time. that’s really useful.

  This is also good, given these destinations, for Norwegian FlexPlus tickets. small premium to pay gives you significant baggage and full same-day departure flex, with no further charge and good flight frequency. Note that if you also use norwegian on out-bound from LGW then you’re leaving from south terminal so you can use your loungekey/priority pass at the no. 1 lounge and end up having a pretty sweet premium positioning arrangement for next to nothing.

  next post which would be really useful for me anyway would be which of the above listed ex-EUs have best departure lounges.

    Priority Pass lounge in BRU was excellent. I hadn’t been able to grab a shower in T5 as BA were useless and didn’t make it clear when arriving at T5B that my next flight was going to be from there (nothing on departure boards) hence ended up shuttling to T5A to clear security to go to lounge only to find no free showers (lots closed for maintenance) and had to go back to T5B again!! Thankfully had an excellent shower in the PP lounge in Brussels – friendly and helpful staff, not bad food/drink selection.

    David. We ve done the opposite while booking last flight out of CPH on that fare. Cheaper o/w option. So if we get to CPH on the Tarmac we can then change the flight to the next one to Lhr , if we don’t fancy spending the day in the city. But usually we hang around as it’s such a pretty city to wander around. That change option is a fantastic enhancement! the only good one this year! So best use it when we can before BA change their minds again.
