also noteworty from the articleis that Qatar is increasing the Premium Cabin size. Would be interested to see if they'll add first to some routes, or just increase the C cabin.

"Al Baker said that targeting premium travelers is a conscious move on the part of the airline as shown by Qatar Airways' decision to upgrade the premium cabins from between 18 and 24 to 42 passengers."
Increasing premium cabin seats makes no sense. If I'm up front I want least amount of pax possible!! GF has it right with only 8 in F (if full) which still seems very comfortable and intimate. Also service standards and availability of lavs may prove an issue. I agree whole-heartedly with Premium terminal concept, however!

The new DOH terminal is still a few yrs away so anything being built or upgraded still wont competer with the new EK terminal at this stage. I feel the EK terminal will be open before the QR terminal.

Enjoy
