Most likely have to pay. Qatar is one world. But not for much longer either.

Upgrade to what ? You will not get upgraded with platinum status ..sky priority , that’s about it

Pay. Particularly in December .

Seriously thinking of taking a 6 mo sabbatical and getting away from it all for a while next year. Potentially travel around the world in Q3 / Q4 presuming the pandemic situation has improved.
