Hi NoviceFrqntFlyr and welcome to the QR Forum.
While your question has been answered by those on the AA and now QR Forum, by all means let us know if you have any queries - we're here to help.
Have a great flight to DFW, and sorry to compound the fact that AA SWU's aren't of any use on QR.
Safe travels,
M

Well I would hope that a genuine QR Privilege Club Platinum would get upgrade preference over a OWE posting their miles to another ffp , if theres the slightest chance of anyone being upgraded ..............

sunnikrish2 I agree entirely with Mwenenzi and i will add:
QR jealousy protect its premium classes. Except for a few upgrades for operational reasons free upgrades are as rare as 'hens teeth'.
One of the unwritten perks with the PC program is that wherever possible the seat beside a status PC/OW member is left empty. Unwritten because it depends upon demand for that flight and is by no means certain.

crombiestone the perk is real enough. Only once in the past two years has anyone occupied the seat next to mine. And that was on a very full flight.
There must be a reason, such as not supplying PC number at booking, why youhave not had it happen to you. I, and many others, enjoy the benefit frequently.

pstation what you are describing is not an op-up but a cabin with J seats being designated as a Y cabin.
This happens a lot with QR. Regional F is just the J cabin re-designated as F.
You could, and probably do, have the situation where an aircraft arrives at DOH with the entire J cabin designated as F and it then departs DOH with the rear J cabin designated as Y.
The lucky passengers have J seats but everything else is Y

It is quite funny how AA EXPs think they are entitled to upgrades the world over, just because AA offer it was a perk domestically in the US.
I once saw an AA EXP at LHR T5 travelling BA vehemently demanding an upgrade to First - he was travelling on a Y ticket LHR-BKK. The gate agent was excellent, and put him in his place as only a British temperament could ^

papyPiHi your list is missing PC Silvers.
I would suggest that you look at the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qatar...ade-order.html thread and get together with msm2000uk to produce as accurate list as is possible, given that this is QR.
