I’m new to QR. Flying LAX-DOH-CPT/JNB-DOH-LAX.

I always prefer window seats. Don’t think I mind flying “backwards” …. hey, it’s an adventure! So, I’ve booked an A/window seat on all segments.

But I just noticed, it appears B-seats also have window access - even if you have to lean far across the table. Is the ambient noise from cabin and aisle-walkers greater in B? “Privacy” in the suite, door, someone looking over the walls, etc … that’s not important; I’ve slept thousands of hours on planes without privacy doors.

If looking out the window during take-off and approach is a priority, and a good, quiet sleep is next priority, is A better than B? Or are they equal?

Also, is there a predominate landing/take-off pattern at Doha? Better to sit right or left to see the sights?
