Meh, Emirates F awards going away was the biggest loss for most of us.
Qatar can do everything Emirates could do, except for that A380 F shower...
Just today booked JNB-DOH-SFO-PDX.
I wish AS had kept EK, and the F..... but, whatever.
Emirates J is underwhelming. If we can't have First anymore - Qatar Qsuites will be a decent enough substitute.
