Been looking at this in the tool, and going from DOH-DXB on a 2-class First/Econ flight when travelling on a DONEx it wants to put you in economy on L bucket rather than as I was expecting (as per AA) First class on the A bucket.
Anyone know if this is just an issue with the rules being loaded incorrectly or is it a policy for QR? Hopefully they don't start doing this for AA as well!!

I bet QR didn't want to "cheapen" their product by allowing DONEs to book into A for their flights. Even though they do the same on tickets they sell.

It is the fact that you are following the original rules that protects you from price changes and other rule changes.

She also mentioned that QR has not been loaded into their tariff system yet, so they can reserve seats but cannot re-issue tickets with QR legs. This was mentioned by BobbySteel. She said she didn't know why as all the other recent addition of airlines was done prior to them joining oneworld.

All sorted now. I was able to change a BA segment for my DONE from last year to a QR segment (w/ a stopover in DOH.) The only downside was, as mentioned elsewhere, regional QR flights are forced into 'L' economy inventory since there's no 'D' inventory. Hopefully this will change and I can get that fixed before my departure though.

I looked hard at AONE vs DONE recently and in the end just went for D as probably 8/10 flights on my itinerary ended up in D as First class hardly seems to be operated on many of these OW airline sectors except on the major intercontinental routes so didn't seem like the extra few £k was justifiable at all. I did however ensure that my one trans-USA domestic with AA was booked on a 2 cabin flight only (and therefore into F) for the better tier points!!
