A couple of years ago, I've tried to UG a QF award flight in Doha and was told it was not possible if the ticket was issued by someone other than QR. Things may have since changed...

I got an upgrade offer in the app yesterday for the EDI-DOH leg (£445) but no offer for the DOH-PER leg.

I was really hoping for an offer for DOH-PER, do you think its likely that I will get that offered at a later date or does it tend to be when the app gives you an upgrade offer that is it??
Australia has just opened up the borders and demand for travel is high right now. Flights are expensive and quite full. I routinely got UG offers for MEL-DOH flights, but that was not the case 2 weeks ago. I asked when I checked in and was told J was fully booked. I've been looking at award availability too and there is hardly and J availability in/out of Australia for the upcoming months. I'm guessing you won't get an offer for your DOH-PER flight.
