In regards to prices, I think it is almost always that connecting traffic will have a lower yield than directs. So, when it comes to selling tickets from Doha, GF and KL will logically offer lower yields than QR. However, I have also heard that when it comes to selling tickets from BAH, QR has been REALLY undercuting GF by quite a lot thereby slowly killing GF. I have also heard that the reason they can do that is because they do not have to worry about certain costs (such as fuel, which is paid by the government). As a result, they can afford to lower prices significantly and steal away traffic from GF. How much of this is true?
