‘customers who purchase an upgrade upon departure (UoD)...’ seems to indicate that this only applies if you upgrade at the airport. However, I still remember the days when an op up to first at the airport got you access to Al Safwa...and seared scallops. Of course those days a long past.
Anyways, I a a bit of a slave to QR’s Privilege Club, but the more cuts are starting to make me feel less bound. Then again, with companies like KLM and LH pulling out of Doha as well as the blockade keeping out competition from Emirates, Etihad, low cost carriers based in the UAE and a Gulf Air*, my options have significantly reduced over the last five months while QR continues to jack up the ticket price for DOH departures.
*just kidding about ‘Gulp’ Air, never part of my consideration set
