I got another upgrade offer for the 2nd segment of my flight from Doha to Dar es Salaam, amount for upgrade is 341EUR.

I'm considering this offer now since its almost 6 hours flight, on A319, which from what I can see has two rows of lie flat business class seats.

I have couple questions, should I wait and maybe try to upgrade at HIA or the chances are not to get this offer or I might get no offer at all? Also, will I get qpoints/qmiles based on the business class or the economy class ticket?

Thanks in advance

If you want to UG, I would not wait.
You get qpoints/qmiles based based on the original fare (economy) - it would be mentioned in the UG offer that you received.

Thanks guys -
I moved ahead yesterday and booked the upgrade, currently in Doha, and I'll fly on the 2nd segment from DOH to DAR in business class tomorrow.

Today I tried to clear the border control in the business class section border control but the people at the welcome desk told me that I'm not eligible to pass through that border control, since my business class ticket was upgraded from economy, oh well.
Lets see tomorrow if there will be any difference in the service between normal and upgraded BC passengers :-) just kidding...
Crazy this evening in Doha because of the Asian cup championship, everyone is celebrating. I traveled from HIA to Marriott Marquis City center for 2 1/2 hours...

I'm being offered EUR 915 to upgrade the BKK - DOH sector from J to F on the A380 (3 days before flight).

I think I'll pass on that one.
NoY and Traveller999 like this.

A day later, increased to EUR 958!

Clearly they think that because I didn't respond to the previous offer, they have to increase the price to attract my attention. Haha

I'm being offered an upgrade BEG-DOH (six days ahead of flight) on the A321 for 397 EUR.

Question: I'm travelling from Doha to Singapore soon on the A350-1000 which features the Q suites. Anyone know what the cash upgrade price could be? Or if they are even offered?

A321s don't have lie flat seats (some A320s do, but no A321s)

How does seat selection work for an upgrade to business?

It won't let me select online on the A350 from DOH. Is that at check in?

IME, once the UG is processed your reservation is updated and you can select your seat in the new cabin.

As a solo flyer, it won't let me select any of the quad seats and none of the window seats are open.

This will likely get sorted out in the airport (maybe even at check-in?) I'm pretty sure they won't make you stand. :-)

Lol. My bigger fear is that they'll make me sit the seat that's meant for a couple with a stranger 😂
