Just fyi on how full J cabins are in this route: my wife and I just traveled IAD - DOH - JNB in qsuites when we went to Botswana on Nov 11 and the iad - doh cabin was only about 75% full. Definately space available for any upgrades if someone wanted from economy.
It could just be revenue protection... QR wants people buying J at the original point of purchase and not holding off with economy tickets hoping to get a cheaper upgrade.
