Thinking maybe because it’s still far out? Then last night I checked and now both DOH-KUL and KUL-DOH legs are 1-2-1 config on the 787-9, which I think is the reverse herringbone, right? I’m just hoping it doesn’t ultimately get switched to 2-2-2 for both, I would be so sad.
Thanks! We are actually two travelling together so it is not as bad, but admittedly, we both prefer solo seats and much prefer Q Suite! So far, equipment shows 2-2-2 outbound and Q suite return, but admittedly there are many months before we fly.
I've travelled the QR "old" 77W many times before - it is not a horrible seat (there is in fact plenty of space) but I'll admit that I was really surprised they still use non "all aisle access" planes. Anyway ,thanks for your experience, it's really useful to know and I'll also keep my fingers crossed for you that you keep the QSuite on the way back, but yes, it seems that KUL is not a "priority" route for QR compared to, say, SIN or even HKG which typically gets the (less nice than QR own but nicer than 2-2-2) CX leased frames.
