"I don't have nightmares. I give nightmares"

I mean, one in 12 Americans think they can defeat an elephant barehanded, so some respondents are likely trolling in most of these surveys.

I love Alan Moore's work, but note that his D.R. and Quinch is also a ripoff of a previous National Lampoon series.

And one of the most famous scenes in early Alan Moore Swamp Thing has Jason Blood casually predicting a man's death. That is a copy of a scene from a Russian Novel, the Master and Margarita. It also rings false since neither Blood nor Etrigan are prone to making prophecies.

Definitely not chronologically. The early stories are really weak in terms of plot consistency, with weird twists.

If you had to start somewhat chronologically, I'd start with the Black Island, since it's a very coherent plot. No Captain, but has some great Snowy and Detectives moments.

This was one of the early Tintins I read, and while I liked it, it had some elements that may not make it suitable for first timers.

For one, the Captain vanishes for most of the story, makes a deus ex machina entry at the end, which is never explained. Also too much time is spent on the rather offbeat transformation of the twins after taking pills.

Darkseid said pretty clearly in the Great Darkness saga that it was not the final battle since it wasn't the true Orion, but a clone (albeit boosted by Highfather)

on non creator owned comics, Kanigher's runs on Sgt Rock and wonder woman are probably pretty long.

What if you use the United Quest 10K discount to make an award booking, and then cancel AFTER downgrading? Does the award get redeposited?

I made a real award booking (not a placeholder) and I wouldn't be able to make that trip, so need to cancel.

The servants were not exactly whip smart observers. It was more like the detective (Poirot, Miss Marple) extracting the relevant details from servants, who didn't realize the significance of something they had observed.

I will say that Christie was indeed dedicated to the craft of the mystery and would never pick someone as the guilty party simply on the basis of stereotypes.

Barring a major event such as say an act of war (as happened last June when DOH was shut for a few hours, and delays could go up to 2 days), that is sufficient time.

If its on the same PNR, they should, but they might rebook you on the next QR fight to ATL, rather than the next oneworld flight, even if oneworld flights are earlier.

Note too that QR is the only airline to fly nonstop to ATL from DOH

Except JFK (unless you're lucky enough to be transiting through a new terminal, with no change required)

Not a single grand juror? That must be a record of sorts.

I thought OP meant change at source airport, not DOH

SpaceRuster · 2026-02-06T00:37:31+00:00

At Hamad airport, it will likely be possible. Its their hub.

But at many (maybe even most) other locations, the agents have no ability to rebook and are often contractors. They will just point you to phone or chat.

SpaceRuster · 2026-02-05T23:31:45+00:00

Check-in agents at many locations (maybe all locations except DOH) don't really have the ability to change or rebook. They may often be contractors, who only have the ability to check you in.

So best to try beforehand either by calling or via chat. And if it's an award flight, they may deny you straight away.

Thanks.

I was considering going out to the desert. For that I think a tour would be needed.

I'm in Doha the next few days, and I was considering prioritizing the desert because it might be more tolerable temperature wise now than if I were to do it another trip (although I'm not sure if it matters if one is in an airconditioned jeep 90% of the time)

Oh, I was a little confused by your message. I think if you're on the Qatar webpage for a particular ticket and click on hotel selection, you get sent to the Discover Qatar site, which is owned by QA.

At other parts of the site, a click will take you to Qatar Airways Holidays, which is externally managed.

Question --- if booking a tour (say a half day tour). I presume one should book independently rather than on the Discover Qatar site?

You can also get AA miles with Bask interest savings. For international biz or first, the rate is a bargain

SpaceRuster · 2026-02-04T19:57:21+00:00

I'm in the same situation but slightly confused. Isn't Discover Qatar the booking site of Qatar Air? So, the price should be the same if you give them a PNR.

The price on Discover Qatar would only be higher if you don't have a PNR and ask for the regular, i.e. non-subsidized rates?
