I have to admit that the gap is closing now that QR are flying out of LGW but EK still has my vote. Although I was very happy with my QR flight to Sydney in J last November it was the handling of the long delay on the return and the total lack of communication that made me decide not to go with QR again. If they introduced CD as well as continuing to fly from LGW then I might reconsider and of course they do give pyjamas in J where EK do not!! I agree with other posters that the Dubai lounges are superior to the Doha ones.
