Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club Garuda rewards via Qatar

  • 256 posts

    Has anyone had any luck booking Garuda via Qatar. Looking to book internal service CGK to DPS. The Qatar site returns errors and online is not possible. There are reports via Flyertalk that QR charge extortionate sums in YQ which bare no resemblance to reality when you call or complete the form. Is that other experience?

    Any advice welcomed

    I am looking for a flight SIN-DPSin July and just had a look on the Qatar website and found availability with Garuda.

    Y available for 9000 avios + £37.50 per person
    J available for 18000 avios + £37.50 per person

    The Y fare is slightly more than a cash fare with a low cost carrier once baggage taken into account if valuing avios at 1p each.

    The J fare is cheaper than other airlines offering J but looking at reviews for the Garuda 737-800, the J cabin doesn’t look particularly amazing.

    I may go for for it though given the flexibility around cancelling

    Thats not too bad. Delta are charging 45,000 plus US$84 Y and 80,000 plus US$84 J SIN DPS SIN on Garuda. The main benefit is that they are offering those prices on KLM with fully flat bed in J. The cash price for my dates is £552 return.

    My problem is that I cant get QR to offer availability on my dates ex CGK without filling in a form and flyertalk are reporting very high YQ. So you post is encouraging.

    Been trying to book for the last hour but it keeps on crashing when I get through to the payment screen.

    I wonder whether these flights are actually available or not
