Dirty Tricks of QA in Claiming Qmiles
By Black Hawk 99 •
I've noticed that if you purchase an online ticket at Qatar Airways, there is always an available economy seat. But if you claim your hard earn Qmiles to get a ticket, the available seats will only be the Business Class seats, which they will charge you double the miles compared to the economy seat.
The truth is, there are available economy seats (i've checked it, before booking). QA just wants you to use more of your hard earn Qmiles... I hope the management of QA would also give priority to it's PRIVILEGE CLUB MEMBERS... and to think QA is a 5 star airlines... what a shame...
I found the vacant seats everytime I booked the tickets using Qmiles.. even just before 2 weeks of the flight date !!
December is a high season also, which means that the redemptions seats will be further reduce in numbers.
You can only book below 12 months in advance. My guess is that someone else booked the redemption seats in January!
I'm booking my December flight using my Qmiles. that's more than 3months in advance. I do understand that December is a busy month and a lot will be travelling, that is why i'm trying to book mine, 5months advance. (paid/booked another flight for August)and was about to use my Qmiles as well on August but just the same, no available seat for economy.
I agree that all airlines will have a certain no of seats in each flight , which can be used for redumption of earned air miles. I have availed such tickets when i book well in advance. I suggest all Preveledge club member use the air miles at least 3 months in advance so that they do not feel the way our Friend feels.
Please remember what you get is just free because of your frequent travel by the same airline. Please understand all companys work with a profit margin and we must accept this fact. I do not mean to hurt any body but explain the way one can use the air miles if planned.-God bless
Those are PAID seat. There are only a limited number of redemption seats per flight.
Imagine if EVERYONE took a redemption ticket, the flight would not be profitable. Learn your facts before losing your rag.
