Is this a good deal?

Yes, and no. Qatar are an excellent airline, and if you enjoy flying with them, then this sale could save you money. That said, these are economy promo fares that are hand luggage only. You will find cheaper alternatives on some routes (Melbourne and Bali, for instance), so I would advise using Kayak to compare prices on the route and dates you're interested in.

It's also worth noting that there's a blackout period between 13 December 2018 and 13 January 2019 inclusive, when the deal wont apply.
