So the A35k may well have been such a placeholder for a few weeks in this case, the 777 has been more usual and probably likely to be what will be used, although the 787's have also been used a lot.
Historically, Qsuites would also be rather unusual on this route.
I have similar case to the above. One of the four flights to Maldives (MLE-DOH) is unfortunately on A320, so no lie flat seats… Hoping for a change because it is a 1.45 red eye…
