I dropped this in as an extra article because I didn’t anyone booking the Copenhagen to Auckland fare (£2,300) that I wrote about in our main Qatar Airways sale feature today without seeing this.
As mentioned in the comments to that article there is an exceptionally good business class fare between Stockholm and Auckland currently available.
This is not part of the main sale and is valid for travel until mid December.
As you can see from the screenshot below, it comes out at 17,368 Swedish Krona:
…. which is £1,522 return.
You must use the promo code MASTERCARD – outlined on this page of the Qatar site – to get this price. It is a couple of hundred pounds more expensive otherwise.
The fare rules appear to be:
Book by 3rd May
Complete travel by 15th December (10th December if using the MASTERCARD promo code)
Minimum stay 5 days
Maximum stay 1 month
No travel 27th June to 27th July or 1st August to 15th August
Ticket is cancellable for a penalty of US$800 (double check this during the booking process – whatever the Qatar site shows is what counts)
You should earn 600 British Airways tier points for this itinerary which is enough for a British Airways Silver card – although you would still need to have taken 4 cash British Airways flights during your current tier point year before you are upgraded.
Between Stockholm and Doha you get a brand new Boeing 787 – I reviewed that business class product here and the official Qatar 787 page is here. Between Doha and Auckland you will get an older Boeing 777 – I reviewed that business class product here – but if you very lucky and travel late in the year it might have been refitted with the amazing new QSuite.
Remember that British Airways will no longer check through baggage to other airlines. If you are transferring on the same day from London leave enough time to collect your luggage, go landside and recheck it. Coming back, Qatar Airways should check it through to London even if that is on a separate ticket.
