My first thought was that - to try the new A350
which should be more comfortable in Y than B787 (already tried 787)

Good to know, I'll rule them out then.

I don't think you have access on EK metal on a QF ticket, but I may be wrong.
I have a LoungeClub pass as a back up option, heard different opinions - technically flying on QF ticket with OW status I should be allowed to the EK lounge, but you never know. BA credits avios and tps for QF marketed flights operated by EK...
