Pre COVID I flew QR ex BHX several times. However, I have concerns for the viability of the new service. Since travel reopened all airlines have put up their J fares but ex UK QR and EK seem to have increased fares the most.
For a flight to BKK in J using random dates in Nov EK is £3,900. QR is charging similar levels ex MAN so it is likely BHX fares will be around that level. Why would anyone pay that when TK on the same dates is £2,600?
Granted, the onboard product on QR is better (but most definitely not on EK 777s) but I for one will not pay 50% more just to have a nicer seat.
If others take the same view as I do then J class loads are likely to be low, putting the viability of the service in doubt.
