(3) DXB-LHR on EK (EK7) booked as QF8007 in F
(4) LHR-SFO on BA (BA286) booked as an AA codeshare in F
A bit wasted based on MPM. You could have added a few segments( like 5) in the US. QR 787 doesn't have F cabin. You sat in J cabin but within middle east, it's sold as F.

Slim pickings indeed.

Been toying with the idea for years but looks like its finally time for me to try the varied delights of KU and their 0600Hrs departure, complete lack of anything alcoholic and 45" seat pitch masquerading as business class..

I booked the return flight more on schedule. I wasn't super interested in spending an entire day bumming around the US in AA F, primarily since the entire trip was short.

As for the QR F/J flight, right, yeah, I noticed that. However they did let me into the F lounge at DOH, and I was served Krug and a full hot meal on board (the flight is ~1h). The seat was J but the service was distinctly F, especially compared to our local carriers If they sold that as 3-cabin F, I could easily understand why.

True. Booked CMB-SIN-DXB-LHR-LAX-DFW on EK F (A380, 2 segments) as QF codeshare and BA F on new A380.

there is also a fare basis code of ANE0F6O5

e.g. CMB - DOH - LHR - JFK : QR633 (J) / QR1 (F) / AA141 (F) : $3,084

That's the problem with people now days, they need everything spoon fed to them.

The horse is barely twitching if you want to take a couple more whacks at it.
