Qatar Airways it is! After one last trip JFK-DXB next week I am switching. My return from dubai last week was the same old story: upgrades happening, but not for me! there must be some black mark on my gold card. I have flown many carriers to the middle east and asia from the US and the ground staff of this one seems way too jaded to make me feel any sense of loyalty.

Wait and see what happens - they may surprise you.
