Thank you very much, the check in counter staff said that the lounges at LAX were closed, however, once I checked in, i headed over to the Admiral's Club and relaxed a bit iin T4.
A follow up Q: Is the Mumbai lounge open during these covid days? and
Do I have any access to the Al Safwa lounge with by Biz class seat (fare bucket D) or am I restricted to the Al Mourjan lounge? Flying BOM-DOH-LAX

for Qmiles redemption
does anyone know if you can redeem mixed QR and OW partner flights?
i cant seem to get it to work, so does it only work for a single carrier at a time (either QR or OW partner, but not mixed)?
for example. LHR-DOH-HKG-XXX
where XXX is a destination Cathay Pacific flies to but QR doesnt
secondly, i cant seem to see any benefit of mixing cabins for QR
for example. LHR-DOH-HKG, where LHR-DOH is business and DOH-HKG is economy.
the mileage recalculated is not prorated proportionally, and sometimes equal to as if it's all business
is that consistent with everyone's observation?

do you get Qmiles immediately back in your account once award booking is cancelled? or do you have to wait a few days?
(phone csr says it takes one week to show up but i think that's just a conservative assumption. more interested in knowing what happen in practice)

110% Voucher - cancel and rebook.
Hi,
I have booked a flight from AMS to DPS in Q1 next year.
I am based in UK, but flight from LHR was a lot more expensive than from AMS.
With the 110% voucher, would it be possible to make a number of cancellation, so that my value increases and then I can eventually book the flight from LHR ?
i.e £4k cancel get £4.4k, then rebook, cancel and then get £4.85k and so on, or is that a bit risky?

As freshly minted QR Platinum I need some advice on using Qcredits for upgrades.
As of current moment is it possible to waitlist the upgrades if they are not available instantly online?
Also, if there's upgrade for XXX-DOH-ZZZ trip first segment, if later 2nd segment becomes available, do they apply per segment upgrade qcredits price or the XXX-DOH-ZZZ price, which seems to be cheaper (42 vs 61 credits).
Can Qcredits be used also by a family member or they are exclusively for account holder's personal trips only?
The first calls I had with QR Platinum line were responded by agents who seemed to know nothing.

2. Upgrades are always done per segment.
3. Qcredits are non-transferrable but I believe you can use it for others on the same booking.

No. You cancel and rebook and cancel 100 times you end up with the same amount that you originally paid. As stated, the additional 10% is for QR flights only.

I have a QR flight from AMS to DPS return.
If I cancel that, take a voucher and rebook another QR flight, is my voucher not for 110% of the original value ?

I'm sure you didn't really expect multiple 10% uplifts.
