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.
