On the other hand I could perfectly got airport upgrades for the four main legs of my previous CDG-DOH-BKK-HAN return ticket booked in Q class Promo fare ;-)

spec119

Yes of course I will I could not even submit an upgrade request for the return sector ( V ) kept telling me to check the agree to pay fees which was clearly checked so I had to request by email still waiting for the standard no availability response

spec119

Just received confirmation that my flight from doh to bkk has been approved for upgrade using Qcredits on a T class booking

So perseverance pays off

they said something about fees due I wasn't aware it had to pay extra airport tax ex doh anyone know how much I should expect to pay?

I'm ex lhr

This is interesting tom anyone considering booking QR and worried about the T class situation when I called QRPC the agent was calling my class Tplus and seemed no problem at all getting redemption upgrades I managed to get the 2nd leg of my LHR-BKK upgraded and hoping for the complete return leg

I have 70 Q credits so 30 for the DOH-BKK

and 40 for BKK-LHR I feel it quite an achievement not have any useless credits left LOL

Well done The LHR advance passenger duty difference from Y to J will be an extra £75. Enjoy your flights!!

85 actually now a ticket reissue fee they tried to charge 100 initially

There musy have been an admin fee or some other charge. Air Passenger Duty is currently £75 (£150) increasing to £78 (£156) in April 2018.

They really do not know what they are doing.

The amount of taxes that has to be paid differs from agents. Sometimes they forgot sometimes not, I am really wondering how they monitor this....

ok, just checking on the sites. then i realised that the number of miles awarded for economy saver is the same as economy promo, which makes it that yes, T is a floating fare class, and it is a economy saver which is able to upgrade with qmiles and qcredits but comes with economy promo airmiles? which to me... is a ....ed up fare class?!

spec119

No don't accept this it's total nonsense I argued with QRPC and eventually they conceeded and agreed with me to others struggling please refer to the email received below

Emailed them to have it in writing.

Thank you for writing to Privilege Club. We value your business.

We wish to inform you that O, T and Q are floating booking classes (RBD). In consideration to the mileage claim, please note that the Qmiles and Qpoints will be credited as per the fare family booked.

Therefore, it may happen that when you try to book a ticket in Economy saver fare, you may get T as fare booking class.

However, in such case, we request you to kindly write back to us upon completion of your travel so that we can check the fare family booked and advise you further.

It will be a fight trust me as nobody seems to be sure of the rules I had to really push to get the correct entitlement

Mister P.

Hi,
I just wanted to ask if anyone has had any recent experiences booking a "floating" T Economy saver class fare and upgrading it later with Qmiles/Qcredits, post the recent QR PC enhancements.

I am in a similar position as the OP: I am trying to make a booking, and the O fare shows as Economy Promo and the T fare as Economy Saver.

Also, in the past I have been informed by PC that "booking classes T, O, W and G are not eligible for cabin upgrade by redeeming Qmiles/Qcredits". However, the current Qcalculator includes both T&O fare classes as eligible for upgrade with Qmiles/Qcredits. Thanks
