One day, when the mood takes me, I'll write it up. Three tickets were issued: PVG - DOH - MAN SOF - DOH - PKX PVG - DOH - BCN PVG - DOH - MAN was for May, booked in Q with an upgrade to U for Qcredits. Three hours after ticketing, a notification arrived that the schedule had changed, which opened the door to all manner of mischief. On 3 April they emailed to say the ticket had been cancelled. Today I rolled up my sleeves. Surprisingly, it was all sorted quickly and smoothly. They apologised that they couldn't keep the U. They swapped the U for an R. The Platinum gentry get served: Economy Classic (Q) โ€” 36 / 11,357 Business Classic (R) โ€” 65 / 17,035 The casual commoners get stuffed with: Economy Classic (Q) โ€” 36 / 3,786 Business Classic (R) โ€” 65 / 9,464 Upstairs, Downstairs, only in Qpoints and Avios. That's what we stand for. That's how we hang on to Platinum ๐Ÿ’ฏ ## Photos ![QR Q โ†’ U โ†’ R ๐Ÿคจ](https://loyalty.sarl/img/2026-04-09-qr-q-u-r/photo_235@09-04-2026_10-37-31_hu_3b4b58e5259b3371.webp)
