Tell them that Emiri decree 12/1/2003 of the Fair Trade Acts that you have the right to ask for written proof of the value of the item.
That'll scare them. If they say no, say you are calling the Ministry and whip out your mobile.
Anyway, it does only apply to Gulf Countries and that ticket fare is something they usually charge when making 'exceptions'.
I was also pleasantly suprised that after booking a ticket with my Qmiles from japan, I had to pay 1,500QR for taxes and air fare. So the Qmiles didn't give me a free ticket, it just gave me a discount lol.
they were wrong in the way that they acted.
