Transit in DOH bad, since you need to get a bus to and from Premium terminal. Usually you will sit in the bus for ages with the engine running and the doors open, enjoying the toxic fumes produced by your bus and others around. Once at the plane you will have to climb the stairs to a 777 with your hand luggage.

Service-vise I do not expect that a "5*" airline need to be compared to AA and BA, where service is non-existent. I would compare to EK, SQ and CX. All of those make QR service look amateurish. And while I don't mind a nice joke, I def. do not appreciate comments like "we don't have L size PJ, L means "loser"" while asking for an L-sized PJ.
Maybe it will, but for now the transit experience is miserable.

El Puerco Volante.

What are fare codes for QR awards in F/J/Y? The AA agent I spoke to on the phone didn't seem to confident in what she was doing when trying to ticket my reservation.

For any waiting on QR postings...I see a couple line items for "transaction pending" in my account which line up with my QR flights. BUT not showing anything in the "bonus" column so hopefully won't have to fight for these.

Has anybody experienced difficulty in securing Business Award seats on QR flights (between Europe & Asia)? I tried to book some for Sep/Oct 2014 and was consistently told nothing was available

Note to anyone w/flown November QR flights...mine just posted w/o any bonus miles and NO EQM/P posted. Assuming a technical glitch - have sent a note to AAdvantage to fix.

Was trying to book an award flight on QR using AA, but the flights which show as available on both BA and Qantas websites are not available on AA the agent check few days before and after and it's the same for all days. While the BA and Qantas websites show all days as being available.
Anyone also face this same problem and anyway to correct it. The agent says she cannot see U inventory on the flights.
Figured out the U inventory though it's business it's showing as coach on the website as someone else mentioned before. The second agent was able to clarify that it is indeed booked in Business.

Agree- having the same problem for HKG-CDG xLHR-HKG. Finally found CX but nothing in a 5 day +/- on QR.
