Looking at LHR-DOH-HKG leaving 6 Oct and returning 23 Oct. Google Flight prices the routing showing the 787 on DOH-HKG leg QR 816. Flightaware, etc, confirm that this is the aircraft currently being flown on that route.

However the QR booking site shows all routes between DOH and HKG being operated by the 777-300ER, presumably with the older layout. Not horrible but not my first choice.

Dummy searches for this month show the 787. So it appears they are indeed planning a switch. But I thought I'd confirm and manage my own expectations before booking. Thanks.
