Finally before landing the cabin service director would come back to my seat to ask how my flight was, if I had any feedback, and thank me for flying QR. I don’t know if this is the usual service with QR (only started flying with them this year) but I really felt like they were paying more attention to me, loved the service I got and it’s why I intend on continuing to fly with QR.
Pre-COVID I always used my BAEC status on QR flights and I didn't get any of these when I had BA status when traveling on QR Y.
I could not talk about QRPC members as I got my QRPC status through the status match in May 2020 which I'm currently enjoying it.
Similar to your situation, the service on QR made me shift all my long-haul trips to QR.

No thanks to LHR-DOH but tempted to upgrade to BKK however if my Covid test went the wrong way I'm guessing I will lose the £331
So the offer disappeared from mmb and last night was available again LHR DOH 936 and DOH BKK 631 no thanks especially looking at very low passenger loads if there were giving mileage based on the cabin might be tempted prices are GBP

Pretty reasonable to me when you consider what they have charged in the past for USA upgrades. Also I was booked as Economy Promo W fare class so very fair IMO. Called QR to check fare difference upgrade and it was well over $2000.
Someone asked on the forum if you could get a second email so wanted to share; I received another email a week before departure for DOH-NBO at $431 so no price change

Just received the best offer I’ve ever gotten for CGK-DOH. Got the offer via email 14 days prior to departure. Original ticket was Economy Value (O).

QR955 CGK-DOH: 4,983,708 IDR (Around $350)
QR167 DOH-ARN: 8,420,748 IDR (Around $592)
Upgrade Both Flights: 11,786,183 IDR (Around $829)

Decided to upgrade QR955 CGK-DOH, I think it’s a no-brainer at that price. It’s a 9 hour flight leaving just after midnight, I think it’s worth it to pay that much to get a better sleep.

Would definitely grab that upgrade from CGK. Was that on a 787?

It’s an A359 (sadly not Qsuites but still, definitely worth the upgrade).

Got the offer via email 14 days prior to departure. Original ticket was Economy Promo(W).

QR740 LAX-DOH: $1435
QR739 DOH-LAX: $1859

I guess upgrades prices are back to the pre-COVID offers.

Economy Value (W).
Are you sure? I understood Value was K, L, M and V prior to the recent changes. W would have been an Economy Promo?

I ended with an upgrade for HEL-DOH, 258 EUR. I should also note, that I was refused advance seat selection, despite being OWE (BA). I found this a bit strange, since I could still reserve seats for the Y legs.

QR 58, MUC-DOH, Y->J, 341 EUR, booking class T,
QR 836, DOH-BKK, Y->J, 364 EUR, booking class T.

And 620 EUR for both. But I am not going to upgrade because I am so sure that I can also sleep in the Y class for empty 3 or 4 seats. I heard from someone that flew in Nov and there were only 15 people on board!!!

NRT-DOH DOH-MXP and question on offer visibility

Hi guys, I flew on September 25-26, got the following offers at online check in 2 days before the flight:
NRT-DOH Y-J 419€ booking class N
​​​DOH-MXP Y-J 609€ booking class N
Took the first one only, being substantially cheaper, longer flight, and on an A350-1000 (Qsuites!). Excellent deal I'd say.

One question: for those getting offers via email like 1-2 weeks in advance, does it automatically become visible in the MMB? Considering it as a surprise to my gf (have access to her MMB, but I'm not getting email updates)

CPH-DOH 3680 DDK is 495 €
DOH-BKK 2681 DDK is 360 €

Q-Credit upgrade not avaible to BKK but to DOH (been like that since booking). I secure the upgrade with Qcredits to Doha and then click link to come to the cashoffer to pay for second leg upgrade,.only to be meet by ERROR MESSAGE : THIS OFFER IS NOT VALID ANYMORE.

Timeframe from E-Mail offer recived, securing upgrade first leg and beeing denied on second leg are less then 5 minutes

Not a customer friendly way of doing business and i was very clear on that statement when i rang minutes later! All the agent had to say was that the offer was not avaible.
