Some have suggested that it may be the start of a Premium Economy class but the general consensus is that it is QR at its best with a total lack of communication. It appears that most of the new QR offers in Business are in booking class R. Whether OW partners will use Class R remains to be seen.
NO ONE KNOWS for sure!
Thanks.
Very annoying since the QR booking site does not let one see the class booking code before one buys the ticket (or am I mistaken ?)
It essentially means that one cannot anymore use the QR Business Class as a decent way to build up status in OW programs.
Given the ongoing downgrade in inflight service, the annoyingly cumbersome terminal in Doha (oh, do I miss the old Premium terminal...) and the inconvenience of an intermediate stop compared to nonstop flights, it really moves QR outwards to the periphery of Oneworld, with Malaysian, S7 and Sri Lankan...
Could QR slowly be going the way of the uncertain Soccer Cup and FIFA ?
