May I know what determines the price of the upgrade? Why is it more expensive for QR15? Is it because the aircraft is the new A350-1000 and is fitted with the new Qsuite?
I think there are a lot of factors at play - how busy the flights are / how many empty seats are left, as well as flight length and how confident QR is it can sell the tickets on the route. LHR is probably QR’s flagship route and is also I imagine the one with the highest premium cabin yields, so all other things being equal not surprised LHR is the most expensive.
