Just wait until you get the bus gates in DOH in both directions... Qatar knows exactly how premium the HKG route is at the moment for their schedule. Perhaps there are good reasons for it, i.e. the 77Ws still get maintained in HKG; They had to increase HKG to twice daily when it wasn't originally planned due to the late exit from COVID; They park them far away in DOH to better manage the first class bus transfers... It isn't like there is much competition at the moment sadly - getting a Cathay lie flat bed out of HKG is probably the default expectation for most people, at least the meal and in-flight service are better on QR (hopefully just for the moment).
