Just checked in and told impossible to upgrade here in Ireland, can only be done in Qatar, despite their website saying its possible. Just curious whats the success rate trying to upgrade using points/credits? I have never been able , my Q credits expire in September, Gold with Qatar but seriously looking at moving to another airline as ground service is rubbish. Love their crew ( mostly! ) and the hard product is fantastic.

Safe flying
