        Means @try2bhelpful doesn't have kids and won't be flying with this airline as there will be many kids on the flight.

      • belongsinforums on 09/01/2017 - 19:09

        It's a joke. The prankster is making fun of the idea of a plane full of kids. Hope that helps.

    • Wakasonu on 09/01/2017 - 17:29

      Can relate.

      Travelled with my two children recently on a 10hr flight and the couple in front were absolutely not impressed.

  • isdnman on 09/01/2017 - 15:49

    T & C
    Places are limited and subject to availability in economy class reserve sub-classes.
    The booking classes T, O, W, Y, B and H are not part of the Free Child rate offer.

      Has acquired the best pilots from other airlines by paying them more.

      Companies regularly pay more for better employees…

        What the is wrong with that?

      • MITM on 09/01/2017 - 16:17

        … and saves paying for training, crippling the competition in the process.

        • team teri on 09/01/2017 - 17:08

          If they do that than their pilots will soon no longer be good. Contradiction? Haters will hate?

    • bozbargain on 09/01/2017 - 16:09

      I also read that, assuming you're referring to flight attendants. However, most of their staff seem to be from Europe (based on my experience with them) so if they were to 'exploit' them you'd assume they would move on. Acquiring the best pilots by paying them more might be bad for their competitors but a reassuring thought when flying Qatar. I'm not sure if people in Abu Dhabi have better working rights compared to those in Qatar but looking at the airlines, I definitely prefer flying Qatar over Etihad. I also prefer Doha's airport over Abu Dhabi's.

    There's additional info on this page which may be helpful: http://www.qatarairways.com/au/en/offers/travel-festival.pag…
    - All Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth fares shown are for departures from 15 January to 28 March 2017 or 25 September to 30 November 2017.
    - All Adelaide fares shown are for departures from 15 January to 28 March 2017 or 1 October to 30 November 2017.

    The offer is still applicable for other dates as well but the above windows will give you the absolute cheapest fares!

    Contrary to the previous Qatar kids deal, this one is not only for Adelaide & Perth - it's a worldwide promotion so also great for those with family in Europe or the ME!

    Also, you get a reasonable amount of Qantas points since it's not the cheapest fare class you're booking.
    I believe you may get an additional discount of up to 15% using the promo code VISA when checking out.

    • visca on 09/01/2017 - 16:24

      has anyone used this promo, when does the discount apply?

      • skyanyan on 09/01/2017 - 19:17

        I have the same question. I cannot see where to apply promo code when going via the kids free link. If I dont use the kids free link then only 15% off applies and it is more expensive

    • reslo on 09/01/2017 - 23:33

      I've had a good play with different dates, via the Kids free offer and some of the others. The 15% doesn't seem to stack however according to its T&Cs it should. Best to call them and find out or speak to a travel agent and let them use their professional contacts and experience which is what I plan to do tomorrow.

      • Wakasonu on 10/01/2017 - 00:26

        Thanks for that , please keep me posted please

  • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2017 - 16:13

      It will take you as long to answer that question on the qatar website as it has to ask it here.

      • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2017 - 18:52

    Not sure if it does anything more, but try this promo code if you are booking flights and don't have VISA:

    Use the special promo code QRTFAU to enjoy up to 10% off*, on top of our already discounted Qatar Airways Travel Festival fares.

      Unfortunately it doesn't stack with the kids free promo, I just tried. This promo replaces the kids free one.

      • hamza23 on 09/01/2017 - 17:52

        Thanks for testing, only good for those flying without kids then.

    • tonester on 13/01/2017 - 17:20

      HSBC16 is better :)

  • ninja33 on 09/01/2017 - 17:05

    Refuse to fly with this airline as their country stole the world cup from us. /jk

  • stemcell on 09/01/2017 - 17:30

    Child place was free on my search but the prices are insane for Melbourne to Manchester UK in October.

    • Wakasonu on 09/01/2017 - 17:32

      Try Another date , use more dates option , for me the difference between July and Aug $2400

    • oliman on 09/01/2017 - 17:51

      Yes prices are insane for me also for trip to Melbourne to Lahore, for 2 adults and 2 kids, no matter what dates i select.

    • reslo on 09/01/2017 - 18:04
      +2

      I agree with you. For me, flying Adl to Dub in October 2+2 = $4400 which is a decent price but not all that great as I have a third child to bring. I'd need to pay another $1650 for (assuming the 75% of an adult fare) giving a total of $6,050 or $1200 per head on average. There have been deals to Europe/UK close to if not under $1,000 rtn so while this is a good deal the starting price is quite high.

      The equivalent flight via the Emirates Global sale is $400 cheaper.

      • odysseus on 09/01/2017 - 19:36

        Given the exclusion mentioned earlier:"The booking classes T, O, W, Y, B and H are not part of the Free Child rate offer." if you were seriously considering the offer, you might want to call Qatar and see if you can book the child's fare additionally, separately through them. I think this should be possible, and you should get a rate closer to I'd imagine $1200 for that 5th person, if it is possible.

        • reslo on 09/01/2017 - 19:43

          Yup that's what I'll be doing. Cheers.

    Can be cheaper to pay for 1 adult and 1 child than to use this "kids travel free" deal. Check prices before you jump on this deal.

  • Hoju on 09/01/2017 - 18:23

    Can't find single flight that the promo is valid for in July, from Sydney to anywhere in Europe.

    Got pretty excited too as we'd be 2 adults 2 kids and looking to book this week anyway.

    EDIT: can't even find a fare that the promo works for just Syd to Doha return… Seems pretty limited, is the thing even active yet?

    If anyone gets it to work I'd be interested in the pricing it shows up pretty please

    • Wakasonu on 09/01/2017 - 18:47

      try first week of Aug

        Bit of a joke of a promo by the looks of it. Would like to know how many seats were ever available.

    Have been looking at the flight cost since Christmas ….This is the best discount with the "Visa" 15% coupon!

    Great tip by Bozbargain - THANKS

    • vr4indian on 09/01/2017 - 19:23

      Hey mate, what visa coupon? How do we get our s?

  • AndreyKitsa on 09/01/2017 - 20:07

    I think I did something wrong. Went on site via link and picked the dates allowed by T&C. It shows return 9800 AUD for 2 adults + 2 kids "free" to Europe…
    A Quick search on cheapflights on same dates, same dep and dest with 2 kids "not free" = 4900 AUD.

  • ninja33 on 09/01/2017 - 20:36

    For those that are wondering, there are free kids tickets. I, for example, found some on Colombo - Cairo route. I know, don't get too excited.

  • bozbargain on 09/01/2017 - 21:25

    I don't want to sound too patronising but when you follow the specific instructions on the promo page, it's not that hard to find some amazing deals, especially to (and from!) Europe.

  • Craicdealer on 09/01/2017 - 21:27

    "Up to two children (0-12 years old) can travel for free if accompanied by an adult" I just checked and for one adult, I can only add one child. So only one child per adult is permitted..:-(

    • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2017 - 21:44

      On the same line, the next sentence says "At least one adult per child is required." Clear really!!!

    Qatar A350s out of Adelaide have awesome leg room in economy class. Best I've ever had, better than their 787s.

    • reslo on 09/01/2017 - 23:39

      Good to know, I'll be flying out of ADL too. The problem seems to be for me flying rtn to Dublin is that the cheap return leg requires very long layovers in either Heathrow (never again) or Doha itself which might be good to experience. This makes the return leg over 40 hours long though unless I stay in Doha for a few days. I'd rather get the direct 21 hour leg but the cost is about $120 more per person :(. Multiply that by 5 people and its a big difference.

  • [Deactivated] on 09/01/2017 - 21:54

    What a terrible deal. With 'free' kids seats it costs almost double the cost of offers on other airlines.

  • dynamike on 09/01/2017 - 22:22

    Revoked my vote after checking fares. Ridiculous pricing. Not a bargain at all, rather a good publicity stunt.

      I'm currently looking at flights to the UK late Nov/early Dec and am pleasantly surprised at how cheap, 2 adults and 2 children, $3.5k!

      EDIT - Booked 23/11 - 13/12 MEL - LHR $3574; very happy with that, thanks OP!

    • reslo on 09/01/2017 - 23:40

      The cost varies greatly depending on dates. If you have a look around there are some good prices to be had, cheaper than anything else out there right now.

  • dingobiscuit on 10/01/2017 - 11:29

    Availability may be patchy, depending on destination.
    I've looked for SYD <> Dublin, and can't find availability, even in the quiet Oct/November period.
    The promo looked to be valid when I searched for London, for example, in the 1st week of October
