Qatar Airways

My wife and I visit Australia each year for VFR and usually use Emirates.

However, CWL is our nearest MEB3 airport and we were (still are hopefully) intending to look at it as a serious option in 2018. We visit 'Down Under' in November each year.

Inexplicably (to us anyway) Qatar is showing no web booking availability for CWL after 26 October. The other Qatar UK airports have seen their booking window extended daily (by one day) through November and December to the point where they are now bookable until the end of this year.

A poster on another forum suggested he had seen a Qatar reply to a similar query from someone else stating that for the moment CWL flights for November and December need to be booked offline, presumably by telephone or via a travel agent.

We usually use a well-known long-haul travel agency for our flights to Oz but I like to peruse airline websites first to get an idea of the various options including price and timings.

Is this sort of thing common with Qatar? I've never used them.
