Qatar Airways Privilege Club - First time in longhaul Business Class on QR - questions

I have only flown QR on regional flights in the Middle East in F class, which was pleasant.

Now I take them on a night flight CDG-DOH in Business, aircraft is A340-600. A couple of questions:



Will I be able to check-in online and go directly to the gate at CDG, bypassing the CKI counter? That will reduce my travel time
Which lounge is used by QR at CDG?
How are the Business seats on the A346? Fully flat, or angled? Good to get some sleep?
After arrival in Doha, is there something like an arrivals lounge which lets me take a shower and have breakfast?


Thanks in advance

In order:

1. Yes.
2. I believe that it's the Star Alliance lounge, which is not great, but I am not certain of that.
3. Angled-flat. Similar to AF.
4. Yes. After you exit customs, walk past the hotel and rental counters and go left through the doors (before you go outside), then you will see the premium arrivals lounge.

Ah, yes, sorry. I stand corrected. I have been in this lounge and found it not very memorable. :p
