Please what is the Qatar promo code
It should be pre-populated when you log in, but it is BLACKFRIDAY24
QR is always sneaky, every time they quietly increase the price first, then the sales price (after discount) will be even higher than normal day price. Last week I can see QR ex-EU business return around £1350-1400 to Singapore in 2025, but now the sales price is £1700 on the exact same dates even with Black Friday promo code.
