LHR - DOH Economy(Q) -> business (Q suite)
11 days out
USD 736.
is the price fixed, or is it worth me waiting to see if it goes down?

There's a chance that the offer might get rescinded if you don't take it soon, so it's a gamble to wait for a drop in price. LHR-DOH is a 6.5 hour flight so you have to see if it's worth upgrading in general or not.

736 USD for just over 6 hours sounds a bit steep. We've seen similar offers here for flights from the West Coast to DOH.

true. But LHR has got the best part of £100 in taxes increase over the economy rate, which will also have to be factored in.

Qr 731 upgrade? Doh- dfw

Hi All,
I’ve been reading through the threads and I can’t seem to find any info on my flight. The experts help would greatly be appreciated.

I am flying DOH-DFW on QR 731, and I was offered an upgrade to business class for $1,030.

does my flight have qsuites and is it worth the price?

For a 16-hour flight, I'd definitely be tempted, QSuite or not. That works out to around $60 per hour, which is not bad at all.

I would say $1000 is "reasonable." Not the lowest I've seen ex-USA but also seen higher. $1000 is about where I think it makes sense for me personally after buying a Y ticket. There is 1 lingering non q suite 77L out there I believe? Others can correct me

And DOH- MAD fully booked in J
So under the Health worker campaign, you were NOT offered an upgrade days before the flight but was only offered an upgrade at checkin/airport? I'll be flying YUL_DOH on the same campaign in November.

In our case any previous upgrade offered....but I don't know if that's mandatory for any other health worker campaign ticket
We proactively ask for the upgrade at the check in counter

Is this a good upgrade offer?

I'm wondering if this is a good offer. The planes are A350-1000 and 777-300ER respectively.

QR1342; NBO-DOH; N-? $286; Offer received 14 days before Sep 20, 2021 flight
QR0719; DOH-SEA; N-? $926; Offer received 14 days before Sep 20, 2021 flight
Total $1072 per person if both offers are accepted ($2144 for both wife and me)

It would mark-up to U fare class and you would get miles/points based on N fare class.
The offer is a fair offer but not cheap.

Please clarify. Does the “U” in U fare class refer to “Upgrade”?

No. RBD 'U' is just the fare class allocated by QR for upgrades to J class.
