DUSTraveller Apart from two which will have left the fleet by then, A330-200 have either the Diamond or the MiniPod (similar to 777) seats in J. Which aircraft have which seat can be seen in the Wiki on http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qatar...ays-fleet.html.
With regard to row 1 then yes there is some extra legroom. Row 1 are Bassinet seats and as such are blocked for that purpose. They will be released when QR is certain that bassinets are not required, usually just before or at the start of OLCI (OnLine Check-In). But sometimes they are first available when check-in at the airport starts. When released prior to the start of airport check-in they will often be available to QR and OW status passengers first.
Just to clarify:- the front row of each cabin is usually blocked because of bassinet seats since they are usually bulkhead rows. One exception is the First Class cabin on the A380 where there are no bassinet seats.

As you will be AA EXP and will fly QR only once, you'd better stick to AA Advantage : you won't get more miles with QR PC (except the 2000 miles bonus for the first booking and 500 miles bonus for onward bookings made directly on QR website if that's your case) unless you can benefit any miles offer on QR. O class will give you only 25% flown miles on both AA Advantage and QR PC and you won't be able to do anything with so few miles on a QR PC account.
Cheers

Hi,
I just created a Qmiles account with hope to check availability and book award space for 2 people. I wanted to transfer miles over from Citi ThankYou points, but apparently I can't search for a flight without the miles in my account first.
Can anyone please check or guide me on how else I can check:
May 24/25, 2016 DEL-DFW in business
2 seats.
Thanks in advance

itsG If you start a dummy booking on the QR website then on the second screen you can input to, there is a slider button to the far right 'Book using Qmiles'. Use this and you can see availability and cost in Qmiles for the journey. You need to log in to your PC account to do so.

I'm used to supplying such information online. Can I do that with QR online for our OSL-DOH-CPT ticket bought direct with QR?
Thanks.

Roger it appears that the only way to input this information is via your PC profile!!
https://qmiles.qatarairways.com/ffpo.../MyProfile.jsf
No longer can this information be input via Manage booking or API.
I would imagine that API information can be input if your final destination is a country that requires API! But this is QR!

Thanks for your quick response, remdk.
I'm not a member of Qmiles and hadn't planned to be, preferring BA for miles and points. However, if that's the only way, I'd better think again, assuming that I'd still get BA credit.

Comparing configurations, the 777 generally has 293-388 Y seats, while the 787 has 232 and the A350 has 247. Based on these numbers alone, putting aside cargo loads (iinm the 777 carries more of those versus the 787/A350, I might be wrong), if QR saw lower loads they'd have assigned 787s/A350s in the beginning. The possibility of an A380 servicing the LAX-DOH route... maybe, but don't bet on it, their hands are full right now serving CDG/BKK/LHR, and the new planes will presumably be used to serve CAN (Guangzhou) and SYD (Sydney).

The 777 is used over the 787 and A380, due to the cargo benefits.
The 777 can swallow far more cargo than the other airframes.
