Generally you can’t leave segments open dated, at least in my experience with AA RTW desk. You might need to leave until say 300 days before departure then book flights on specified dates, and move them later. No charge to do this as long as you don’t change routing - watch out that you separate the flights because if one ends up automatically classified as a “stopover” then rescheduling may trigger repricing and a change fee.

While the Finnair blueberry juice is wonderful, QR’s Qsuite is very comfortable indeed, and the service excellent. I don’t know why DOH is an issue - we have always found it very smooth and the lounge is excellent (once you go through all the flapping about which lounge you are allowed into).
Nevertheless regardless of AY or AA or QR it’s usually best to book with the AA RTW desk.
