Look for flights to and from your Australian city to the following destination in months listed:

DXB - Feb, March, April, May, Jun
BHX - Feb, Apr, May (but saw dates in early Jul)
PSA - Feb, Mar, Jun (but saw dates in early Jul)
EVN - May
TBS - Apr, May
DUB - Jul

From this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogRfX7JMYoA

"What is a golden ticket? A golden ticket is a single, zero-fare ticket to a specific destination, valid for travel between 11 January and 15 December 2017. Only taxes and surcharges apply."

See this page for more information: http://www.qatarairways.com/au/en/offers/travel-festival-tre…

I just booked Adelaide to Pisa (Italy) return for under $700pp (2 people). Amazing.

There are some golden tickets in both directions if you can find them. Happy hunting, share your finds in the comments below. Today only (for flights out of Australia) by the looks of the promo page.

You can't stack with existing coupon codes, if you put that in the search field it stops the golden tickets appearing.

Examples:

Melbourne <> Pisa - May 30th, returning July 4th - 679.54 AUD (per person)
Melbourne <> Dubai - May 16th, returning late May (various dates) - 173.84 AUD (1 ticket only on first leg)
Adelaide <> Pisa - May 30th, returning July 2nd - 686.97 AUD (per person)

Looking like this may be end of life, so expiring it. I note that Adelaide is one of the destinations in some of the later in the week promo's so might still be possible to book something then.

    I know some one here is smart enough to create an algorithm to find this treasure

  • sp3tsnaz on 10/01/2017 - 19:39
    +5

    If you go to their flights page and search for the destinations in the video from Australia.

    Choose the month which they tell you in the video in the top left.

    Then once you do the search click on "More Dates".

    It then shows you a calendar screen with 15 days worth on there with the cheapest pricing. Quite easy to find the golden tickets this way. They all seem to be one way though.

    Eg. In May 13-27 going from Tbilisi to Adelaide is $78 (however in the same promotion period the way there is around 770). So basically one way is free. Really good deal!

    • Schumi5 on 10/01/2017 - 19:56

      with the extended dates screen, are you saying the $78 price showed there?

      • sp3tsnaz on 10/01/2017 - 19:57

        Yup

          What city are you flying from? Perhaps the golden tickets are sold out in the larger cities…

        • malouphix on 10/01/2017 - 20:05

          If you find the 'golden ticket' you are lucky. There's probably a few hundred if not more all tying to find it and booking as soon as they do.

          June/July is all 715 EUR one way.

          +1

          @downhillmtbr: The cheap ticket is return from Pisa to Melbourne in early July. The golden tickets seem to be mostly the return leg of the flights. See the OP for the date examples.

    • malouphix on 10/01/2017 - 20:17

      It's funny as Italy is listed under:

      Friday
      13 January 2017 Late morning
      Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom.

      So really you could find a ticket anywhere.

        Pisa was one of the listed airports in the video though.

        I could be wrong, but I think that means that those traveling/booking from Italy can participate on that day? Appears they have staggered worldwide release to try and keep things smooth?

        • ldjg on 10/01/2017 - 22:51

      Not if you find a golden ticket on the way there, from my searching vast majority are the return leg that are the discount rate.

      • random101 on 10/01/2017 - 20:25

        Ditto I've found them for the return.

        But if I select it one way the price is the normal price…

    There are some golden tickets in both directions if you can find them

    THIS would be GOLD (literally, twice). I would book any destination for around $120 return on a premium airline

    • ldjg on 10/01/2017 - 22:47
      -3

      Not so sure l would call them Premium we flew them last year Melbourne to Paris CDG 4 hours delayed leaving Melbourne missed connection flight, 2 out of 4 suitcases were damaged to the point they were not repairable problems claiming, and they were not cheap suit cases on that.

      Probably having a sale because of ongoing problems, l wouldn't fly them again, if l were paid to do so.

      • insular on 10/01/2017 - 23:01

        thought they were ok

        suitcases mustve been thrown. that sucks, can happen with a lot of airlines (especially US). claims via travel insurance possible?

        hear the cabin (A350) is spacious even economy. ive flown etihad and it was acceptable. and qatar ranks higher? i mean, for around 700 return to europe. that would be a new record.

        what was the food like? edible?

        ive known emirates to even wait on the tarmac for 4 hours with no info. and they're supposedly premium. i think arab airlines dont really give a shit about cattle customers. i'm sure the rich kids had plenty of champagne in the lounge.

    • Bullion Baron on 10/01/2017 - 21:24

      • black on 10/01/2017 - 21:27

        Yeah coming up as $2000 two people. Which dates did you book?

        • Bullion Baron on 10/01/2017 - 21:32

          Just double checked and still shows this for me:

          Melbourne <> Pisa - May 30th, returning July 4th - 679.54 AUD (per person)

          $1359.08 for two. $1,235.28 there, $123.80 back.

          Make sure you don't have any coupon codes in your search filter.

          I booked from Adelaide.

        • black on 10/01/2017 - 22:57

          @Bullion Baron: Thank you. Have purchased tickets, worked out to be around $2000 for two.
          Just wanted to ask there is a comment above about more deals on Sunday. Would these apply? I had a look at a video and Adelaide is a destination. I'm thinking would it be possible to book a ticket FROM Adelaide to a destination and return to Australia?

      If you fly Qatar Airways to Europe you'll be flying over Iran, near Armenia, before turning left and flying over Turkey. It's becoming difficult to avoid troubled countries if you're flying to anywhere in Europe.

      I flew to Kiev, Ukraine in September. Sometimes you just need to go.

    • glengyron on 10/01/2017 - 21:48

      Smart traveller says most of Armenia is still good. But they haven't updated since the last skirmishes in the past week. http://smartraveller.gov.au/Countries/europe/eastern/Pages/a…

      • POSITIVEVIBESONLY on 10/01/2017 - 21:55

        It's all good, I've read about Armenia don't think I'll enjoy travelling there. Just telling others it's the only location I haven't searched for cheap flights from SYD, if anyone else is looking.

        • xqizit on 11/01/2017 - 09:21

  • jeppetto367 on 10/01/2017 - 21:45

    So I can find normal price to Dubai, but with a Golden ticket on the way back. Though if I book 1 way from DXB-MEL it is the normal fare price. Its my understanding though that on Sunday once the UAE fares become available, we may potentially get DXB-MEL one way for Golden Ticket prices, if that makes sense.

  • hasselbladsnapper on 10/01/2017 - 22:18

    Just a heads up, we recently did a return trip to Europe and had a number of issues regarding the flights which I will not go into. Just to say their customer service is non existant regarding problems that needed a reply from them. Their email feedback is non effective and they will not reply to email messages .. I sent two over a 5 week period and they just ignore them. Ours were in regard to business flights booked through an agent!, so make sure your bookings on the net are exactly what you want. Do not expect assistance if your bookings go pear shaped, you could contact an agent to price match the price online. We did just that. The planes we were on were very new, as is their main airport Hamad International. A stop in Doha is worthwhile, and the Islamic Museum is stunning and well worth a visit.

  • iSamurai on 10/01/2017 - 22:18

    None from BNE to PSA/BHX/DXB… searched the whole year.

    Also their plane going over from DOH-PSA is an A319/320. Interesting… the flight is just under 7 hours, but it looks like the pitch is decent (32").
