Next week I would like to do that as well, but unfortunately for me, the A380 is full in ALL classes ...
Hmm didn’t realize I couldn’t request the upgrade at my point of origin but rather at DOH (or BKK) to upgrade with qcredits. So I have a 14ish hour layover between my incoming flight to DOH and my flight from DOH to BKK (which id like to upgrade). My plan was to leave the airport, but maybe upon exiting customs and immigration I can pop back up to the check in desks and see if they can process the upgrade there? Or better just stick to the lounge/upgrade counter airside to do it? But hearing that you’ve been able to day-of upgrade is reassuring (although seeing that you have never been able to upgrade online is also not a good look for QR). And also surprising that even with peak season over, QR is filling up 380s even weeks in advance
