Flights are considered long-haul (AY+ awards & accrual as well as complimentary meals in all classes of travel).

AY and QR both have set quotas and specifically allocated seats on board. At least on the ARN service, the AY quota in J is 7 seats (1L, 2DHL, 3DHL) and the Y quota is 61 seats (3136 DEGHJL, 59JL, 6163DEGHJL.

The PE cabin is not sold by either airline. The PE seats belong to the QR quota and can be assigned to QR Y pax at no extra charge.

Transferring at DOH, you will have access to the following lounges when departing on AY or QR, in descending order:
1. Al Safwa, for QR customers ticketed in F. Close to the bear
2. Al Mourjan lounges, for AY & QR customers ticketed in J (J Light not eligible). Al Mourjan South is close to the bear (escalator up right next to the escalator coming down from transfer security). Al Mourjan North (Al Mourjan Garden) entrance is located between the northern stop of the intra-terminal train and The Orchard. Al Mourjan North lounge is twice as big as Al Mourjan South and has views over The Orchard.
3. Qatar Airways Platinum & Gold Lounge North, for Golds, Platinums and Lumos regardless of class of travel. This lounge is a shared Platinum & Gold lounge. Entrance near gate C14
4. Qatar Airways Platinum Lounge South, for Platinums and Lumos regardless of class of travel. At gate A1.
5. Qatar Airways Gold Lounge South, for Golds, Platinums and Lumos regardless of class of travel. At gate A1 (shared entrance with the Platinum Lounge South)

All lounges operate 24/7.

When booking via QR does it matter which ticket type in economy I choose to get to select seats in PE? Can I just book the cheapest?

Service improvments ?

Has the service got any better on flights from DOH ?
Last time I took a flight to ARN they served the breakfast right away after the departure with no drinks before the meal. So I got the tray full of food, coffee, champagne 30 minutes into the flight and was done at 9.
The puser said it was their procedure because of the short flight time ( 6 hrs).

Not yet. I was thinking AY chat because it's their metal.

QR controls ~70% of the seats on this metal, though. I don't have recent enough data points to help more, sorry.

QR ticket allowed free seat selection to premium eco. However I'm an idiot and chose bulkhead without neighbours and missed the better food and beverages on the flight.

That's what the crew said. Better food and better complimentary drinks selection (G&T specifically mentioned).

You were right. Had to pick my seats through QR chat. Really quick and effortless experience.

Yes there is proper PE service on DOH flights. However they are not sold as PE. If you buy Economy ticket with QR, you can select PE seat and get PE service for free. If you buy AY ticket, it is not possible to get PE.
