Shame...

"Effective June 15, 2012, United will terminate its codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways. Reservations booked through United for Qatar Airways-operated flights scheduled to depart on or before September 14, 2012, will be honored as ticketed. Customers booked through United on Qatar Airways-operated flights scheduled to depart on or after September 15, 2012, will be accommodated on their scheduled flights with new flight numbers. Customers will be able to accrue mileage on Qatar Airways codeshare and interline flights until September 14, 2012. Award travel ticketed on or before September 14, 2012, will be honored as ticketed and valid for one year."

Please enlighten me as to the repercussions.
Is Qatar Air some superb airline?

I happen to be looking at booking some flights between HKG and NYC etc, and the only avail. is with Quatar in Biz.

Is this something to "grab"? are they so good?

Did I miss something? Is Lufthansa and United stopping their partnership?  I am trying to book a flight online through United on Lufthansa and it won't let me book it. I called up and got two separate reps who can't figure out why and BOTH told me it may have something to do with the fact they are ending partnership.

                     They see the flight as well and they can't book it for some reason.

         Any ideas?

UA still gives out Qatar flights, I've just used an award for a Qatar flight.
Over the phone they didn't want to check, but online it worked well.
