Some may match, some may not. Others may set you a challenge of a minimum number of flights within a period, others may require having forward bookings. But you'll be able to narrow it down by airline etc that may appeal to you
Firstly, thank you for your response. Regarding the points you mentioned, firstly, I certainly understand the importance of doing research before asking questions. I searched for a long time and found quite a lot of content, but there is very little recent information about which airlines Qatar Airways Gold status can be matched with. Secondly, I am aware of the website "statusmatcher," but it doesn't directly tell you what you can match to. It only tells you which airline's status has been successfully matched, which is reverse information and cannot be practically utilized. Thirdly, there are only three airline alliances, excluding Qatar Airways, there are only two. I am not targeting any specific one; I just want to know what I can match with and I will since consider flying more with the airlines under this alliance in the future. From this perspective, I'm asking if anyone has had successful matching experiences. This way, at least, when I'm not flying with Qatar Airways next time, I'll still have access to lounges and extra baggage allowance. Thanks.
