Thanks Serfty for the information. I can now state I received a refund from Qatar which landed in my account today for 600 Euro- $932 Aussie. Very happy I followed this through and thank you for the information you mentioned. Very, very happy with this is at nearly covers the taxes for...

After a week of going back and forth with QA finally received the OTP and submitted my forms. Will update more when/if the money lands in my account.

Good to see a new plane with more capacity being put on the direct ADL-DOH service. Will hopefully alleviate some of the overselling on this route. Also SQ is adding a larger aircraft for the ADL-SIN service to-...

Some potentially good news coming, if I can actually receive the OTP from the Qatar website via email to fill in the paperwork. Will keep you updated.

Im going to make a few assumptions. The direct ADL-DOH mostly fills up in QSuites leading to those if oversold making onto the ADL-MEL-DOH flight which is oversold by people travelling onwards from MEL-DOH and so in reverse. Additional capacity for MEL may fix or at least alleviate this issue.

Thing is of Qatar put the A380 on this route I would avoid it as it doesn't have their QSuites as that is one of the main reasons I travel on their product. I had availability when booking 6 months ago via Sydney on the QR A380 in both business and First but gave it a miss as I enjoy the...

I mentioned this earlier in this thread but QR also tried to bump me from my direct flight in QSuites from ADL-DOH as it was oversold and wanted me to go to MEL for the direct MEL-DOH flight, I politely refused and luckily the lady whom called from Adelaide airport must have called someone...

Thanks and I did pay my $750 odd in taxes besides the 130000 odd points. It would seem so as that is what she said- it was due to my fare class Ie. I assumed she was referring to my award ticket.

For those that want it here is my report. Heading to get some sleep so I apologise for any spelling mistakes and for not adding a TL: DR I left Athens at 7pm on Qatar through to ADL all in Business. Was ticketed in Athens for both flights as I checked in 3 hours prior as soon as checkin...

Just got back. Another data point. I asked the cabin crew if the DOH-BNE was full. I was told surprise surprise it was oversold. At least I'm back.

They can with as many as they want into Adelaide. If they were allowed the could fly another into Melbourne and possibly add a 2nd daily dedicated one for ADL.

Will post more on my return just in case. Flying out tonight 17 hours late via BNE to ADL in Business. The next lot of flights to ADL both direct and via MEL are also oversold so BNE it is as they offered me Economy on the same flight I was originally going to go on. No way. Will post a...

Just eating in the Al Mourjan Garden lounge. That in itself was a big issue when I was told it was no issue. Will report shortly.

Just arrived into Doha and my was told my flight back to Adelaide via Melbourne was oversold in QSuites and due to my fare (I'm guessing award ticket) I have been bumped. Even though i had a boarding ticket from earlier in the day and it was booked ovet 6 months ago. Not happy. Both flights...

Flying from ADL-DOH, was originally on the ADL-MEL-DOH flight but I changed over when availability appeared. Had a phone call from Qatar ADL Airport saying my flight and the other (ADL-MEL-DOH) from ADL are both oversold in QSuites and if I would like to fly domestically on their dime (as it...
