Logged into my booking management this morning to be told that my itinerary has changed. It looked to be a minor change, no change of flight number, lost 30 mins on layover in DOH, no big deal. But the blurb about accepting/requesting a refund said that I would lose any extras associated with my booking (seats, meals, etc). I had no meals pre-selected, but did pre-select my seats. After accepting, it looks like I have the exact same seats as I booked, so can I assume everything is as was - there's no danger that my seats selection has been removed, but still showing as selected on the website?

I’m still a newbie and would love some guidance on how to go about this. Have made one trip last September with QR and currently have 18k qmiles and 120 qpoints.

Sadly they've dropped the DOH-RGN-CNX-DOH for summer-2019, I spotted that when my 'confirmed' flight suddenly became 'unconfirmed', so had to ring the BKK-office about re-routing via BKK. An email from QR would have been nice.
Pity but I have anyway got a better price on a second revenue-ticket out of CNX, using Cathay instead of Qatar, and China Southern will also increase our access to OneWorld, if they do switch across as recently rumoured.
But there were no passenger-rights for RGN-CNX anyway.

New to FT, please excuse my lack of jargon.
OSL - LHR - JNB return flight with BA coming up, added my QR Privilege Club number to progress to the next PC tier, but my BA booking says Contact your Frequent Flyer program.
Do I (really) need to contact QR? What more do they need?

Nonetheless, in a previous flight, I have entered my QRPC number to a BA booking and saw the same message, but the miles were still credited with no problem.

guys something strange is happening with award tickets during 4, 5 and 6 of april!
I cant find ANY ticket Departing from DOH! No city at all! I was first looking to MLE (my destination) but then tried others destinations just to check if it was really an error and... bingo! I have tried to MCT, CDG, IST, FRA and many other cities and there is NO AVAILABILITY AT ALL. Only on these 3 days. If I change dates I can find it for the whole month.
Does somebody know about any blackout date on these days or something like that?
Ps: I tried with AAdvantage and executiveclub.

Sorry for the silly question, but I've been having a hard time finding this info from official sources: can one transit DOH with pork products in one's possession if not actually passing through customs? Normally I would just assume that without a border crossing, no sweat (especially since DOH has alcohol sales airside), but I've noticed when it comes to overnight transfers there is some accommodation made for alcoholic beverages that does not exist for pork. I ask because I have a 4-hour connection coming back from Spain (not passing through immigration), and would not want to be hauling jamon iberico if the Qatari authorities will have beef (heh). Thanks in advance!

Online check in question.
I'm an economy passenger who loves that it's possible to request seats on booking with no extra charge, with QA. However, as it looks as though my flight will be less than half full, I'm interested in changing seats at online check in, to aim to get a row to myself, or at least no middle seat neighbour.
At what point are passengers who are checking in at the airport, allocated seats? If I check in online, say, 18 hours before my flight, are all passengers likely to have been allocated seats, so I can judge my best chance (I know there are no guarantees!) of getting some extra space?

sarah55 you can choose to change your seat when you use OLCI, and both before OLCI opens and afterwards until airport check-in closes.
However QR do not allocate seats to passengers who do not choose seats themselves. They just keep a tally of seats sold. So all 'unchosen' seats should show as available at OLCI.
If your flight appears to be about half full now ten I think you can be fairly certain that the flight will be much more crowded.
I would reccommend keeping your current seat and ask the cabin crew on boarding .
