From 31st May QR, will be cancelling their LGW - DOH route and I am now looking to use another airline. I was wondering if EK will status match the existing status I have with QR if I started flying with them.

I have an old Skywards membership but this has zero miles on it but they still do send me promotional mails.

I want to contact Skywards but first wanted to find out from the knowledgeable people here first of their experiences if any.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in adavance
Hi SonnyCash, welcome to FT

Yes it is a possibility to be status matched by EK Skywards but nothing is guaranteed, you would usually have to show a prospective travel plan on EK to incentivise them. The link to the thread below explains how to go about contacting Emirates.

Good luck
