And how to find the price if it is a O booking class that does not allow online changes via MMB? Calling CS? If you have paid a deeply discounted ticket there is a chance to get a not-so-expensive paid upgrade on the ticket?

343 O ticket class is not upgradable with reward upgrades using Qmile or Qpoints. It is still possible to change for cash but it will obviously cost more than the higher ticketing classes.
But it is the specific fare rules that govern if it is possible. Fare rules vary from origin to origin, from ticketing class to ticketing class and sometimes from offer to offer.

Thank you! I'm definitively hopeful to get an upgrade offer at least on my initial segment. My trip has a mix of T, N and O economy tickets so I'll wait and see. For the moment the whole trip is pricing at $4500 per person so I'm waiting for a possibly cheaper upgrade offer. Thanks again!

Just wondering.
Is there any opportunity to pay cash to upgrade award reservations?
Just wondering whether it is possible to pay at gate/lounge to upgrade to J if booked in y on an award (because of lack of award space in J obviously!)

So NO you cannot upgrade a reward flight at the airport.
However with the revised rules you should be able to upgrade reward ticket online before hand.
On the other hand it would be typical QR that they have made a series of errors in transferring the rules!

Airport Upgrades (AUPs) AUPs are subject to availability, and the willingness of the agent you are interacting with to sell you one.
• In transit at Doha: Approach the Customer Service Desks located at Concourse A, B and C. Alternatively, approach the agents at the Al Mourjan lounge or Al Safwa lounge, Privilege Club First Class lounge ( for Platinum members) and Business Class lounge (for Gold and Silver members).

I should have asked at the lounge of course... My mistake was based upon the fact that the lounge didn't seem to have a separate service desk apart from the lounge dragons at reception, and from BA and AA these will not usually handle ticketing queries.
It appears that the customer service desks in the concourses no longer process these (or I had an unhelpful agent).

Eagerly awaiting upgrade offer
Hi all, I'm flying syd-doh-ath on 14/7 for my big 40 and desperately want an upgrade, esp for the 17hr leg. Aside from stalking my inbox next Thursday... Any hints or tips? Expert Flyer is showing 10 seats still available in business. At the moment I have seats reserved in economy upstairs.... Could we sneak into the bar area at least? 🤣
