I am in the situation of having an inbound t Eco Saver ticket that is no longer upgradable online and wondering if it was upgradable at the airport.
Thanks.

Sorry, I must have lost the thread here somewhere. I was talking about spec119's complaint about no longer receiving unpublished perqs. My feeling on that is that if they're not published, we aren't entitled to them. We're entitled to what the rules say we should get, but not more. Anything on top of that is a gift.
The perqs to which we are entitled should be given freely by QR; and we should complain when they are not.

incidentally I was able to upgrade 831 and 15 both had loads of seats available the latter being Q suites
I spoke to the girls in the bar ( c.c they seemed shocked when I mentioned the new enhancements
It seems a lot of QR staff are unhappy with the new lounge policy
I genuinely try to post useful information for fellow travellers and I do a similar run to dr hfh up to North East Thailand and sorry if I overreacted
I'm currently in the first class lounge thankfully very quiet

Ithink you could argue this because I can't see any thing in writing about saver fares in O or T bucket prohibited
incidentally looks like calling via social media is blocked hia Wi-Fi WhatsApp line Facebook messenger etc

I mainly have to take the LATAM lease aircrafts for the half leg of my travels and do not get any discout (in miles or cash) for that, so why it is so special to get an upgrade to LHR?

but come on, he was able at the end to upgrade with miles the newest aircraft in QSuite.
you shoud appreciate that too.
If i were in his situation, arriving at bkk with economy ticket in the morning and then learn i can upgrade complete flight to lhr i would be smiling from check-in in bkk until landing in lhr, despite A351 is only doha-lhr leg and would enjoy the complete flight and not spending 1 sec about thoughts why they not allow me this upgrade some weeks before flight because in the end i got it.

But yes, right, a great experience for him, I guess. It is very surprising, that he got it managed to upgrade in BKK the whole travel to LHR. Normally they only process from BKK to DOH and in DOH you have to "beg" again.

But you are right, usually you have to "beg" in doha again for upgrade the LHR leg.
well, maybe i will be lucky tomorrow too similar spec119 with his A351 upgrade and biz is overbooked in QR831 and QR will give me again a double upgrade to first same like the inbound flight which was a very big surprise. I dont expect it really but hope dies last.

Still in process. I have been able to upgrade the outbound on the 10th.
I am now asking them to waive the change fee to move to a Q fare as I bought the ticket last week when they confirmed me that it should be fine. I just want to be sure that I would be able to upgrade it at the airport.

Important Information:
Award upgrades to First Class are not available on our A380 services to or from London. Cabin upgrade not available for Infants (below 2 years). Bookings made in Economy Promo fare family (RBDs - O, T, W and G) are not eligible for redemption upgrades.

Therefore I see no legible reason at all that they are blocking us the upgrade possibility.

I just saw that they still have not changed the rules in the upgrade section of QRPC, the following is stated there:
