Status Match with Qatar Airways
Hi all,
Tried searching this in the forum - no luck yet.
I am Silver with Emirates and Gold with Etihad- never traveled Qatar, but for my next few flights QA is much cheaper and would like to try it, was wondering if QA does consider any status match requests at all, and if yes, what is the best way to do it - customer service email or phone contact - heard the cs of QA in not that gr8.
any advice much appreciated
thanx in advance

Please do, I would be interested to know as just a week ago they would not give 3 in business class (who travel every month UK, Asia, Brazil) a burgundy start when I'm already a Flying Blue platinum. Are you normally an economy flyer?

Unless you are going to fly QR a lot and/or business-first class their may be a better OW ff'p for you. Depends on your objectives from a ffp.
This web site is also useful, but may not be 100% up to date. http://www.hotels-and-travel.de/ffp/

I dont get status matching. Why would QR for example give passengers free status for people who earned it using other airline programs? I see the benifits, but I also see disadvantages like getting a free ride on QR without flying with them.
