gtadv - You are mistaken, All airlines , globally follow the RBD ( revenue based designator) system. Which splits the seats in each Y/J/F cabin to different fare( price) levels. The earlier you book you get the cheapest. Thus ,Those who plan and book early will benefit.

To explain - Economy will be having differnt price levels, first 20 seats on 200QR, the next 30 on 300QR, the next 30 on 400QR...etc. When you are the 21st passenger booking you will be priced on 300. All these seats are in the same cabin though. This system manages the Airlines revenue according to the demand automatically.

Whether you choose QR or EK or WY- they all use the same.

Tallg is right- Direct flights will cost you more. For example at Dubai , EK will cost you more than QR and other indirect carriers. QR price from Dubai via Doha to London will be cheaper than their Doha London Fare!!! thats how airlines work.
