Besides BA(yuk!) via BKK and codeshare with Bangkok Air, CX is the only Oneworld carrier with easy access from Europe via HKG. Not a bad way to travel however CX not always competitive pricewise!

However I hope QR dont use the A320 when they eventually start service - that would be too long a flight, even in Business, with the current hard product QR have in their A320s. The flight would be over 6 hours!
Agreed on the pain but they do do this on a number of over 6 hours routes, such as Zanzibar.

And as per others have mentioned, it would make sense for QR to use such a plane for such routes.
