OK, which itin wins?
(Yes, neither is the paradigm of efficiency, but booking Qatar is like pulling teeth, with phantom availability etc.)
Note on itin #1: DOH-MLE is actually only 4:45, not the 14:45 it shows, so the entire itin is actually 10 hours less than it states, or 29:40 (vs. the second itin's 28:15).
Both are 120K in J, but the second one is going to cost me an extra $150 in close-in fees.
