Hi all,

I am looking to book ATH>DOH>MEL on QR for 2026 in business. I can work out when DOH>MEL leg is released but can’t find anything for ATH>DOH or Europe to DOH for that matter.

1. By the time QR release their ATH>DOH availability to Velocity, have they already been picked over by Qatar’s own Privilege Club members? Or are they not release any business seats between Europe and Doha at all currently?

2. Is it possible to book ATH>DOH in Y and then DOH>MEL in J? On the same booking/ticket possible? Would I need to call up to do so? Will it price at calculating the two seperate legs and adding together?

3. If I couldnt purchase the above ticket and purchased them on seperate tickets, would QR check my bags and myself all the way through?

4. If business then does pop up on ATH>DOH leg could I change my economy flight to business? Is that only possible if that segment is on its own seperate ticket? Or they can do it if it’s on a single ticket with the DOH>MEL J leg too? Or not possible to change class in any circumstances have to cancel and rebook?

5. What are the change or cancellation fees for a reward booking?

6. Will be needing to add an infant (unborn currently) to the booking later. What is the process for that and what would be the charge (any extra taxes or points)? Will that also count as a change fee which needs to be paid?

Just working out my plan of attack with this extra leg and balancing banking the economy flight with hopes J will pop. I’m more experienced with QFF program but of a newbie with Velocity really!

Thanks
