Hi everyone,
I recently joined the Privilege Club and can't figure out whether or not booking my QA flight through third party websites e.g. Booking.com would disqualify me from earning the eligible Qpoints. This part of the Terms and Conditions is what has been confusing me:
"7.1 Main Members earn Qpoints for travel at eligible fares on:
(a) flights marketed and operated by Qatar Airways;
7.3 You will not earn Qpoints for:
(a) Award tickets issued using Avios including Avios + Cash Awards (see section 14.3);
(b) lost, refunded, forfeited, unused or expired tickets or tickets with any type of discount over published rates. This includes free of charge tickets, charter flights, complimentary tickets, agent and travel industry discount tickets, airline staff travel tickets, rebate tickets and any prize ticket;"
I'd appreciate any advice, as I want to book this ticket asap and have failed to find an answer to my question for the last 2 months.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I've got my first flights on QR coming up and had a couple of questions:
I originally booked BER - DOH - DXB in Y, I upgraded with cash and booking now shows as BER-DOH with Fare class I and DOH-DXB fare class A. Do either of these fare classes give business/ first lounge access?
I've got around ~2 hours for the connection, is there even any point in trying to go to the lounge?

Hi everyone,
Next week I’m flying with Qatar Airways from AMS tot MLE with a transit in DOH. Previously I booked Qsuite. Unfortunately Qatar changed our seats to their “old” business class instead of Qsuite.
I’ve been following all the flights that departed from Amsterdam to Doha the last 9 days. 8 out of 9 of the flights were equipped with Qsuite.
As everyone knows Qatar airways is famous of constantly changing their aircraft and flight times, I was wondering how likely the change is that we last minute have Q-suite on board. Does this happen quite often? Or should I just accepted I probably am going to fly old business class.
Thanks!

Bus trip appears on a ticket of LHR-LGW-DOH itinerary
Hi everyone, I recently booked a flight from LHR to DOH: LHR -(by bus)- LGW - DOH. My itinerary is on a single ticket. The booking system gave me 4 hrs to transfer: a 10 am depart from LHR then to catch a 2 pm flight at LGW to DOH.
I guess the reason for this is I booked a BA2033/QR5942 on QA website. So I've got 2 questions :
1. Under current circumstances, do you think I can make the transit through, considering these 2 over-crowded airports, and that I would travel on a bank holiday morning?
2. Is there any possibility to skip the LHR-LGW part, but to check in from LGW directly? As I would initiate my trip from central London, this skipping can save me considerable amount of time. However I am not sure about the feasibility here.
Any comments are very appreciated!

Does anyone know how the family programme is working now please that QR have adopted Avios?
I have two family members who are looking to nominate me as a main member and currently have their own Avios in BA accounts.
Is it possible to either;
1) Sign them up for QR PC accounts and immediately nominate me as the main member… then transfer their BA Avios over? (Don’t want the Avios to be lost!!)
or
2) Create their own QR PC accounts and transfer their Avios from BA-linked accounts, then nominate me as a main family member?
are either of these options possible to keep the Avios? TIA!

The QR family programme is merely a way for the main member to collect some extra Avios. The family members don't gain any privileges nor status and these 'accounts' can only be created through a main member.
