I have seat assignments DOH-BKK and DOH-MIA, no problem there.
My question is what if there are no seat assignments when I check in? I don't know how often QR overbooks their flights and I fear a downgrade if that's the case. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Additionally, I set two alerts on Expert flyer for the flights in question in the hopes that program works (it's failed me in the past).
Overbook are rare.
Is that an award or paid ticket?
If a paid ticket and fare bucket allows it, just call to try to get a seat assigned (unblocked).
