Just keep checking on manage my booking

I fly VIE-DOH-CEB today and since 2 weeks ago or so, manage my booking offered an upgrade for 700 EUR for 2 people VIE-DOH…and I hadn’t received any e-mail offer. Oddly enough about a week ago the e-mail came but the upgrade price was higher (950) than what was shown in mmb.

I hadn’t received any CEB upgrade offer until like 3 days ago it finally appeared, so I’m guessing the long segment offer will appear for you when the date gets closer.

Does Qatar airways offer cash upgrade if there are 2 people on a single PNR? Or would it be advisible to have 2 separate bookings for a greater chance of receiving the cash upgrade offer?

I would consider booking together as it's possible to get a cash upgrade on people with multiple passengers.
The risk of booking two separate tickets would be that you can't upgrade both people at the same time thus if there is one seat available for a cash upgrade at that time, both reservations would receive that offer but only the first to pay would get the upgrade.

A couple of years ago, I've tried to UG a QF award flight in Doha and was told it was not possible if the ticket was issued by someone other than QR. Things may have since changed...

Australia has just opened up the borders and demand for travel is high right now. Flights are expensive and quite full. I routinely got UG offers for MEL-DOH flights, but that was not the case 2 weeks ago. I asked when I checked in and was told J was fully booked. I've been looking at award availability too and there is hardly and J availability in/out of Australia for the upcoming months. I'm guessing you won't get an offer for your DOH-PER flight.

Even pre-COVID, the Business Class loads to Australia were super high as people are happy to pay the displayed J prices for that route which could lead the cabin to be sold out in advance, which means that QR doesn't need to offer any discounted cash upgrade or discounted award availability to fill out those seats.

€763.
That's €100 / hour which is too much for me. So booked an economy emergency exit legroom seat for €70 and will find an alternative way of spending €700 instead....

BOS - DOH - MLE later this week

QR 744 BOS - DOH - No offer
QR 672 DOH - MLE - $698 total for 2 passengers

Never flown Qatar Airways before so if anyone could offer some advice that would be great. The DOH - MLE offer seems like a good deal, but when I look at the seat map on the QR website its showing rows 11-26 as Business class in a 1-2-1 configuration which doesn't line up with any of the SeatGuru seat maps - the plane is a 777-300ER. Does anyone know if this DOH - MLE flight has Qsuites or something else and if the upgrade is worth it? Thank you.

This might explain the seat map.
