Hang on. What? Why does it have to be so complicated?
If I book a T fare through a travel agent (corporate travel policy...) how do I know whether it's a Promo or Saver T fare? And will QRPC know if I then call to upgrade it?! Will the airport staff know which T fare it is (both for DOH and outstations) if I decide to request an airport upgrade?!
QR is not well famed for its consistency in applying its own standard procedure so I can't necessarily see that playing out smoothly
And thanks for sharing
