For me it will be hello TK.
I still have a QR J trip for April booked during the 2x1 promotion at a reasonable fare.
But booked next J trip with TK at much better price.
Got fed up with watering down Privilege Club features: difficulty to spend Q credits and upgrade with miles, required booking code to upgrade etc
Had too much stress to try to upgrade 2017 flights, succeeded only at airport check in which I hate to do that late (uncertainty) .
Just been downgraded to silver anyway and plan to always book J fares.

Have been waiting for a decent QR sale for quite some while & was disappointed when nothing much Ex-LHR appeared in the recent sale. I have QR LHR-BKK flights in J booked for late spring & was looking for something to the Middle East in the autumn. QR prices were extortionate so I ended up booking with BA (I know, I know). However, it's on a B787, direct with reasonable timings & I was able to reserve good seats in advance, so not too bad. The clincher was the price: £1100pp LHR-MCT in J.
I'll continue to look for QR flights as I believe they're the best, but unlike previous years I won't be afraid to look at other carriers.

Indeed, the removal of lounge access for airport upgrades was the last nail in the coffin deciding me to look elsewhere, my interest in upgrades has disappeared.
2.5 Bangkok-Brussels trips J in a 12 month period will get me gold with TK just for the extra kg, their 30kg J class allowance is poor and AC *A to yul comes in handy.

Booked J in advance from HKG to DOH in Sep/18. What's the likelyhood they'll have switched to Qsuites by then?
