Ever since Qatar increased the amount of Qcredits required for upgrades I have been stuck with 40 of them about to expire. Of course the one flight I used to be able to use them on now requires 42 instead of original 36 I think it was. I'm guessing there is nothing I can do about it - if they can't be used on upgrades is there any other purpose or will I just have to let them expire worthless? Very annoying they delibrately made the threshold above 40 since that is the reward for for retaining gold...

Both side of MH lounge are better in my opinion. At this time (QR morning flight) I find the MH lounge almost empty.
I find the PP very cold but the I think the food offering is better there. Since you will be in J the food will be better anyway on board so I will go for the MH J or F anytime.

It's a shame the qcredits will be completely wasted because of just 2 qcredits... As mentioned I guess it was deliberate to eliminate all golds from possibly upgrading long haul. Has anyone every found a way to get around this problem where you are just short?

I have been to PP lounge before (when flying business class on other airlines). Personally think its just an average lounge and finding a seat during peak hours is an issue. However, I believe Qatar uses the PP First Lounge which is not the same as PP, correct? Cannot find much info on the PP First Lounge but it seems small but they do offer a menu service from what I read.

Hi all.
Next month I am flying Barcelona to Doha, 1 hour connection and then to Tokyo Narita in business class. First time flying QR.
I think at least one of the segments is in Qatar Suites. I am concerned about luggage for the short connection and about the connection itself. Do I have to pass a security screening again in Doha? What about Immigration? My passports expires in June and I don't have time to renew it before this flight. I am just connecting in Doha, would that be a problem?
Thank you
