Hi both thanks for the replies. No I haven't asked the company. I did some more googling and found people matching molten suggestion...By a Flexi or just buy a cheap ticket to anywhere out of Qatar and rip it up once you're through customs. Ironically, once I checked, to buy a return is only about 40 pound (250qar) extra over the one way....go figure. So we'll just book a return for best part of 3 months and see what we want to do nearer the time
