I said that there were no First reward flights available.
Then someone else said they don't do reward flights in First on the DOH - LHR route.
I think that you got all the answers in this thread.
QR is not going to retire the A380 soon.
Any scheduled aircraft 11 months ahead is very tentative.
It is hard to find premium cabin award to LHR, especially during some heavy travel season (e.g. return from year-end holidays or British school start/end). QR will wait to have a finer estimate of loads before opening award.
Qsuites are in higher demand than the old J seats on A380. If you cannot find J award on A380, I doubt that you will find some on the 77W. The Bar does not compensate from the attraction of Qsuites.
