Offer received a week before the flight:
MLE-DOH 916€
DOH-ZRH 644€
Yeah, that’s not happening. :P

MLE-DOH has no availability with qmiles while MLE-ZRH does.
Not very nice to offer paid upgrades but not with qmiles/qcredits for the same flight.

Received upgrade offer to business class as follows (appx 2 weeks to departure);

ORD - DOH - ISB for $1,522 for self (adult) and a 7 year old child. The upgrade premium seems very reasonable. Wondering if I should accept it? Any thoughts?

What's the service level like in business class during the COVID era? Is it even worth the premium?

The service in Business at the moment is great at the moment and far better than most other airlines.
However, with the light loads in Economy, you would most likely get your own 3 seat block so you could also enjoy an Economy Class row to yourself.
Unless you are traveling close to Christmas, the loads shouldn't be that high.

For the price, if that number is for 2 people, take the offer. However, if that number is per person, check the loads for your flight, if it's crowded take it, if not, Economy Class is certainly not bad when the cabin is empty.

The price is for two (ie $761 per person) and departure date is Dec 18.

How do I check loads for my flight?

If you share your travel dates with us, I could help checking the loads.
IMO, $761 per person is a great deal.

That would be great, thank you!

My departure is Dec 18 from ORD to DOH @ 7.10pm on QR 726 then it connects on Dec 19 from DOH to ISB @ 8.20pm on QR 632.

The ORD-DOH flight seems like middle-empty according to the seat map. The DOH-ISB flight looks super-empty.

However, the deal you received is a great offer and you may want to reconsider it.

Thanks for you help. At this point I might as well pay for it and enjoy the experience for a change!

I agree with ISTFlyer that this is a good deal for two Qsuite segments. For the last 3 trips all I have been offered > $1500/person upgrade for LAX-DOH segment.

Same, for my recent DOH-USA or vice-versa flights, I always got something in the $1400-1500 mark. The only time I got a reduced rate was for $749 on DOH-IAD in July 2020.

Got this offer for PRG-JNB flight. Could anyone clarify if the offer displayed in the email is per passenger or all passengers in reservation?

Email:

QR292 I Wednesday 23 December 2020 Prague Doha

Economy To Business 20,422 CZK*

QR1363 I Thursday 24 December 2020 Doha Johannesburg

Economy To Business 15,917 CZK*

*Prices mentioned above are to upgrade all passengers in the bookings



After clicking the link price doubles however on the top is stated me + 3 passengers which is nonsense as we are only two traveling and our names figure there twice. So not sure if the price in the email is really per person contrary to what is mentioned under * or there is some error on the upgrade page.

Upgrade website:

Dear Valued Customer,

We are pleased to offer you an exclusive opportunity to upgrade your ticket to the next higher cabin class for your upcoming flight. The special upgrade fare for each flight is listed below.

Please select the flight you wish to upgrade and click the "Upgrade" button to proceed further.

Booking Reference Number :

Passenger(s)

ME +3 Passenger(s)

Departure flight

Special offer : Save 7960.00 CZK in total for all passenger when you select both the departure flights for upgrade.*

Select Prague to Doha

23 Dec 2020 | QR 292 Prague Doha Economy to Business 40844.00 CZK*

Select Doha to Johannesburg

24 Dec 2020 | QR 1363 Doha Johannesburg Economy to Business 31836.00 CZK*


Also, would someone with ExpertFlyer be so kind and check the load factor?


Thanks a lot
