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
In BKK it was during checking at the checkin counter, quite straight forward. But in DOH the will process the upgrade only after “sale” is closed, which is around 1:30 to 2 hours before departure. I did leave my request with the lounge reception (Al Safwa) and followed up a few times, asI had 4h waiting time.
I do not know what happened, but you can’t get ANY QR flight out of BKK between the 14th of march and the 20th or so. It may be an IT glitch though, or they are really fully booked - it’s just crazy
