Are there still unrefitted 777s? And if so, are they ever sent to Australia? I'm looking at a flying ADL-AKL and/or reverse early in 2023, and I really want to try Qsuites. If it gets swapped back to a 359 (say) with reverse-herringbone that would be fine, but I've flown the old 2-2-2 back in the day and it's not worth paying for.

I have a booking from CDG to MLE through DOH on Qatar in J. I was hoping to change the Doha to MLE segment to F. Is it possible to do this without the agent cancelling the CDG to DOH segment? I called and they said they had to cancel the entire ticket in order rebook the second segment in F. This is an award booking with QR directly.
Thanks!
Thanks!

May I ask is there any way to merge or link two PNR together? Me and my partner will fly the same route but we forget to book together. I have Oneworld Sapphire, so I want select seats for my partner for free and take her to priority check in and lounge. Cancel and rebook may not be a good idea as the price becomes much higher than the time we booked. Thanks.

I'm a noob to qatar awards (only started checking after Avios change since UR can transfer via BA Avios).. but I have seen phantom awards on AA and AS that did not show on Qatar. site. Not sure about other way around - was hard finding business saver availability specifically as it doesn't let me look only for those.

For the summer, I guess award seats are completely gone for this city pair. I had doh-yul as a placeholder, but someone on this thread or other thread told me it's impossible to simply add a bkk-doh to my existing doh-yul ticket, unless bkk-yul shows up as available on QR site, so I've given up and sent a refund request almost 10 days ago, I received a confirmation email right away, but I haven't gotten my pts nor fees back yet.

Upgrading on Qatar App
Hi, I am new to Avios and everything surrounding it.
we have booked a flight in Economy but I have Avios points that I want to try and upgrade on the app by using them.
every time I go to the spend your miles section and input my booking reference the itinerary is greyed out and says There are no seats available for award upgrade does this mean they havent released the seats yet or I dont have enough Avios to carry on?
I am all new to this, advise would be very much appreciated.

Any seats already released may have been taken or it could be that no seats have been released, eg on popular routes or at peak times. As long as you have some Avios in your QR account you should be able to see any availability, so it's just a matter of keeping checking and hoping for the best.
