The inaugural QR DOH-ATL flight on June 1st will be flown with an A-380. After that, no F on that route, however.

BA announces it will serve LHR-SCL with a 789 from January 2017. It'll have F.
The sector length is about 14 hours.
This will be numbered BA 250 (SCL-LHR) and BA 251 (LHR-SCL).
There is bucket loads of reward availability, although as the flights are still being loaded, it may take a few hours to appear on the systems.

Shouldn't QR 788 388 DOH-SYD and DOH-CAN be on the list?
DOH-SYD is only from sep 15 and currently seasonal (W) if I understand it correctly.

I built on Kiwi Flyer's post 2 and made a Wiki from it, so that we can update as we go. 
I updated a few things, like combining LA/JJ into LATAM (still no F) and, under BA, finally moving ATL from LGW to LHR

Yes, from 15th SEPT and onwards. Perhaps only winter season, but it is bookable way into june 2017 at least

I believe that there's no more QR F service to/from BKK. It's currently running 4×77W daily with J and Y only (interestingly, 2 of the flights leave DOH simultaneously). Rumor is that F service on the 388 will resume shortly after the first of the year.

I cleaned up the BA section, removing some fifth freedom flights that no longer operate:
Between Abu Dhabi and
Muscat
Between Bahrain and
Doha
Between Bridgetown and
Port of Spain
Tobago
LHR-MCT and LHR-DOH are now nonstops with F.
LGW-BGI still has F but no longer has any tag flights beyond it.
POS is now a tag on UVF and still has F.
TAB is now a tag on ANU and no longer has F.
