Nothing posted in this thread yet, may be worth searching for some older threads to see if this has been reported - I think the upgrade is possible but the information may be a little inaccurate now as it is older.

Just wondering if I haven't received a offer by t-15 or 14 days does that mean that none is coming?

Looking at ZRH-DOH-SYD here

Looking at ZRH-DOH-SYD here
Admittedly there is limited information so far, but it would seem the offers are sent somewhere between t15 and t10 as things stand. Have you done the usual checking junk email etc?

Worth exploring one of the other options (calling to get a ticket reprice etc) if you haven't received the email.

(probably 16 days because it's a continuation of the previous)

didnt receive an offer for the outbound sector (CMB-DOH-PHL) on March 2nd, also on O

its funny they say offer is for "eligible
classes" since O is the cheapest revenue class! So only redemption tickets (and perhaps Group fares) are exempted?

Sifaan welcome to FlyerTalk and especially to the QR forum. You may find the dashboard a useful tool on this forum.

You are correct when you say that G and redemption tickets do not qualify for upgrades but the three lowest ticket classes otherwise (T, O and W) do qualify.

Reading through the Wiki on this thread it is only booking classes T and O that appear on the list. This may be coincidence or it may not! Time will tell.

Anyone have a clue what the Cash Up's are likely to be to SYD/MEL or AKL from LHR or Western Europe starting points? Curious for a booking later in the year

Hello there TheClassicPom!

This thread is still in its infancy and as you can probably see there isn't masses of information at present. One thing you haven't said is what class you are currently travelling in and seeking to upgrade to - there is no information on F upgrades at the moment if you are already travelling in J.

One thing about your start points - Western Europe has many of them, and there are a couple of examples, e.g. Madrid to Doha which may give you a high level idea of what the price could look like. It's worth remembering these upgrades are not guaranteed and may not stay at the same price by the time your trip comes around.

I've added a few links to the wiki that reference older posts in other threads where SUOs have been mentioned. You can identify them in the wiki by the fact they do not have specific flight numbers, and also have a Link at the end of them to take you to the original post.

All of these posts have been made in the last 12 months, so add value to the thread.

Hi,

one for the wiki...apologies I am on a mobile device, so struggle to edit

QR665 CMB-DOH Y-J GBP81 Booking Class H
Offer received T-7 days before 25/03/17 flight

I purchased the ticket less than 24hrs previously and did phone up to try and get to reprice entire inbound leg (CMB - LHR) immediately after booking, but was told no seats available by the agent and to ask at the airport on the day (EF said otherwise, but hey). Will try my chances with a AUP at DOH for the second leg on the day.

So here I am sitting in the London Lounge........am booked on the fully booked (J class) QR4 today.

I enquired at check-in about a paid upgrade to F to which the reply was "only BA do that, we are too good for that and it will cost you at least £5k".

Charming!

I asked about cash upgrade promos at SYD and the check-in agent supervisor (pointed out by clueless check-in agent) just said that they typically take the fare difference i.e. not actually promo.
Hence, am I correct to assume that these promos are not common for these "ultralong" legs?

With multiple pax in PNR, I did not even assume getting any email offers and did not receive anything either ()
