Thanks for the reply. I guess what I’m asking is, if those members have existing Avios in their BAEC accounts, is it possible to transfer those to my QRPC account by them nominating me as a main member either prior to, or after, transferring Avios to their QRPC accounts?

Hi Everyone, Flying next week from Phuket-Doha-Spain. 1st flight is an overnight on a 788 and then 2nd is a morning flight on a non q suite configured 359.

Does QR provide mattress cover for my two segments?
Have all the 788 ife systems been updated yet? I understand they were all getting a new Screen installed last year.

Hi all,

When I booked in Feb for my flight in Aug (MNL > DOH), I was very surprised to find myself on the A350K with QSuites! But this month, I learned I'm now on the old 777-300ER with no QSuites. Checking FlightRadar24 for the past week showed the 77W for all flights on that route with seemingly a handful QSuite aircraft. But the QR website doesn't show any QSuite flights available at all.

I know QR is known for equipment swaps and QSuite isn't common on this route, so it might change in 2 months. (I didn't receive any notification for this swap though.) But given the shortage and recent flight history, I'm curious if QSuites is still a possibility for me and if so, when should I contact the airline about trying to switch back to a QSuite flight?

I'm very new to this and saved up to treat myself on this trip, so I really appreciate the help! Thank you.

I have no direct experience in this, but my knowledge gained from conversations on the forum would lead me to observe

1. The actual time from LHR to LGW is about 45min to 1hour in normal/reasonable traffic. But if there is a snarl up on the M25 or M23 motorways then all bets are off how long it could take. At 10am you are past the worst of the morning traffic so the omens are good but there's no guarantees. Of note is that BA does sell some tickets with transit between LHR and LGW and their minimum connection time is 3 hours which would include getting off the plane, immigration, getting bags, finding your transport, checking in before check-in closes... So 4 hours on the face of it is reasonable just remembering that you have to get to LGW and check in before it closes.
2. You can probably skip the LHR to LGW bus sector without any issue. Based upon reports from others where land based train and bus sectors are included I think all reports have not highlighted any issues with skipping such sectors as there is no easy way for QR to know if you took thee land based journey or not. I have no direct experience but suggest if you just went to LGW no one at QR would be any the wiser.

So I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade with avios a ticket bought in discount economy (O)?

Hi! I am a first-time poster so apologies in advance if this is inappropriate to ask - I am wondering if someone might be able to tell me how many Avios points I will need for a Business Trip reward flight from Cape Town to Washington, D.C. (IAD) on September 27, 2022 (QR 1370 CPT-DOH/QR 0707 DOH-IAD). I have a ton of AmEx points I want to use for the flight, but Qatar's website won't even let me see the reward flight options without having the Avios points in my account. I also attempted to call Qatar but the call got "disconnected" three times.

I am a bit nervous about transferring any points without knowing that reward tickets are available for that flight plan, so if someone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!! This flight is for my honeymoon which has been delayed several times due to COVID so we are really looking forward to flying in luxury (hopefully!).

No QR Bus nor First availability
Economy is at flex (2x) - 190,000 Avios + 5450.80 ZAR

BA Economy (via LHR) is 58,500 Avios + 8820.80 ZAR

Wow, thank you so much, Virginia!! I really appreciate your help! Sorry, I have a follow-up question: do you think the lack of business/first availability for reward flights means that economy tickets booked with cash cannot be upgraded with Avios points?

When Qatar moves to T4 at LHR will there be a lounge for a OW elite (silver) flying in economy?

Before T4 closed, QR used to use the Skyteam lounge for status pax.

Is there a GOLD number that I can call or contact, or is it just the one general number?

realgaga

The numbers of the priority lines for each country are at the bottom of the 'contact centre' page after logging into your account.

Probably a stupid question- but if I have a reward booking and would like to change the dates, I get that I would be on the hook for any increase in YQ and a $25 or so change fee…

BUT, if I have found availability on another date and the availability on this new date is only at ‘X2’ mileage/Avios cost level, whereas my original reward booking was at the ‘normal/saver’ reward level - would QR debit extra miles from my account (so that I’ve paid x2 for the booking) - or would they say ‘hey, it’s reward space, no worries, just pay the additional YQ and change fee, no extra Avios’ ?

Hi, I am wanting to book an award flight with Avios on qatarairways.com. The cost is 350k Avios and I have a BA household account with my wife with enough Avios between us. Is it possible to book on qatarairways.com even though neither of us have 350k individually but we do in our BA household account?
