I've read this but figured as situation is tad different for mine: Change of legal name - Qantas

Wife currently has got a Qatar flight booked for travel in Feb-26 under her current name. She's also due to change passport in October, and would then her Last name to mine. We are currently looking at redemptions for Oct-26 so need to book soon. Would I be right to say that the sequence below is correct:

-Qatar flight to be left as is.
-Do the name change now on Qantas app/website to update QFF details. Sending in Marriage certificate.
-Once confirmed done, can book the redemption seats. Would be issued with new name
-Sometime after completing Qatar leg, organise passport renewal + name change
-Oct-26 comes all is good?

Is the above a sound approach?

Thanks!
