Fubar - Dude , am trying to give you the info from whatver I know which i learned from 16 years of my experience in this industry. I am neither associated with QA nor EK.

Whether am rich or poor , no way its gona help you. I dont need to pay anything to fly lol

When I explained on the tax matters above & The difference in QA ( QR) and EK. I was mentioning about the TAXES and not FARES. The TAX element will be the same for any airline, its fixed for your info.

Why it vaires is the question- Thats what explained above, the Q tax emirates adds to their fare and Qatar adds to their tax. Taxes plus Q tax will be equal for any airline. Basic Fare varies , thts where QR costs you more.

cheers
