Upgradeable booking class with Q-Creidit or Q-miles
Hi!
I'm wondering about upgradeable booking class. I want to upgrade only one way on the roundtrip journey tickets.
FRA-DOH-DPS in V
DPS-DOH-FRA in Q
I want to only upgrade in the V sector is it possible? Do I need to up all the booking class to be V? including the return portion where I'm not intend to upgrade it.
Share your thought? Thank you.

FWIW, and as a data point only, I have done this, -- upgraded one way of a roundtrip. Since it was only to DOH, there was no QR connection. Thus I don't know whether it requires upgrading all the flights on the "one way" connection or not.

Yes you can upgrade a single or the entire V leg no problem at all (as long as there is availability). I do it all the time. Easily done online - you can select each leg individually.
Not that it matters, but incidentally, even the Q sector is upgrade eligible anyway.

Indeed, all of your 4 legs are upgradable. So you can choose any combination of legs to upgrade.
For example, you could only upgrade the flights departing DOH to get access to Al Mourjan. Or you could upgrade only the outbound from FRA etc.
Keep in mind that FRA-DOH-DPS will cost you 60,000 Qmiles or 40 Qcredits one way. FRA-DOH will cost 30,000 Qmiles or 25 Qcredits and DOH-DPS will be 35,000 Qmiles or 30 Qcredits, so married segments are cheaper to upgrade than individual legs.
