Hi guys,
quick question: flying MEL-DOH-MUC on Wednesday/Thursday. Did the same flight couple of weeks ago and DOH-MUC (QR057) was the LATAM A359 as explained here on the forum.
Seatmap for the flight now shows the 773 for some reason while it was always flown with A359 over the last couple of weeks. Does anybody know why that is?
Cheers,
JP

Quick Question:
Forgive the ignorance, new to QR (thinking about migrating over) and I've been confused by a few different things I've read here.
Assume we're talking about a 12 month period:
If I start at 0 to get Gold do I have to earn 300 or 450 (300+150) Qpoints?
That is - do my points earn cumulatively: once I hit 150 I get silver, then after another 150, (300 total for the year) I get Gold?
OR
Do I reset entirely: once I hit 150 I get silver and go back to 0, then after I earn another 300 I get gold (450 total)?

Hi everyone. I'm looking at flights to BKK over Christmas and the New Year from Dublin. Economy flights are around £1100.
I've been looking around at alternatives and can get flights Ex ARN/OSL for £1460 in business class. Just wanted to ask the regular members is this a good price or are there potential sales coming up. I understand this is a peak time for travelling and it does seem to be good value.
Many thanks for your help

Yes I seen some great fares for around £1250 from VCE but they are outside the dates I would prefer. I might wait to see what this sale might have to offer tomorrow before doing anything just yet.
Maybe not the correct forum, but have any members tried to transit through ARN? I can get flights that arrive 3 hours before the flight to DOH. There are other flights that arrive 7 hours beforehand. I guess it is just part of the risk of booking separate tickets.

DOH-HKG Qatar reward availability vanished Dec 14-Jan 1
Hello everyone,
First post! Apologies if this is obvious. I've been tracking Qatar reward availability between DOH and HKG on British Airways' website from Dec 14 to Jan 1. Up until earlier this week there was significant space in both Economy and Business. Specifically on Dec 24 there were 6 business seats on QR816. Now it's all gone.
Looking at seat maps on Expedia I don't see that the seats have been sold.
I notice that there have been various time changes recently, so I don't know if Qatar pulled availability while they shift schedules. Or whether it's expected to be a high demand period. Perhaps a system glitch/bug.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might have happened and whether the space will come back?
Thank you in advance.

nick.brett1 welcome to Flyertalk and to the QR forum.
For many offers QR have blackout dates 14 Dec. to 10 Jan since this is usually a period with high demand. The DOH-HKG route is usually in high demand and reward availability is often taken within days of booking opening. I would imagine that demand is already high and reward space has been blacked out. I know from personal experience that blackout dates often apply for reward flights to/from HKG during that period.

Jeff_ You will get the Qmiles and Qpoints for ticket class T as shown in the Qcalculator on http://www.qatarairways.com/Privileg...tor_popup.page. You will need to fill in your origin, destination and PC level. It is only the ticket class that counts when calculating Qmiles and Qpoints. Thus QR could actually call Ticket class T First Flexi and you would still only earn the standard ticket class T Qmiles and Qpoints.
Remember also that ticket class T cannot be upgraded using Qmiles.

Flight changes
Booked my first QR trip in J a week ago. When I logged on earlier today to change my seat number there was a banner headline saying my flight details had changed (appear to be just a 10 minute change in timings).
I haven't received any form of e-mail notification of the changes. Is this normal for QR?
