The fleet type codes such as 77P or 77K are what can be used to identify the type of aircraft under "Check Routing" on www.qrcargo.com. The aircraft type on QR Cargo is fairly accurate if you search for a flight within the current calendar month.

KiteM NO 777s have First class. Therefore it is obvious that you have a problem either with your browser or n error on QRs website,

Try sites like CheckMyTrip or Expertflyer to see what seatmap they have for your flight.

Hi
I understand there is no First.
I'm not English mother tongue so probably I can't explain myself which are my questions in a good way.

This is what I see if I check the reservation on Checkmytrip (a 777 with the standard 2-2-2 configuration):



Qatar website also shows the 777 but you can't choose A1/K1 seats as they are marked as "Bassinet"



Same as seats E5/F5



My questions are:
  1. Why these seats are not available for selection?
  2. Are keep free in case of passengers that need the bassinet and can be selected only at the airport?
  3. In any case it's a real seat and not a "free space" where they install the bassinet?
  4. Do you think it's better to choose the first row when travelling with an infant (Should have more legroom)?

Last thing (and I hope I'm not annoying you):
"Why Checkmytrip shows 6K/7A/7F as selected seats instead of 6B/6E/6K as per the QR website?"

KiteM I am almost as confused as you are! I have not seen the red lines on a seatmap before but I think we can assume that they are seats that are already occupied by a passenger requesting a bassinet.

1. The front row of each cabin section and exit row seats are normally unavailable until about the time that OLCI opens. Bassinets are usually found at the front row of each cabin section.

2. At about the time OLCI opens some of the bassinet seats may be released for status passengers and possibly others. Otherwise the can be selected at the airport if available.

3. It is a real seat but has facilities for a bassinet in front of it. Bassinets are fixed to the wall in front of the seat (at about eye level for some passengers).

4. The front row of most cabins usually have more legroom. In some aircraft you may even be able to let your child play on the floor in front of you.

5. When Check-in starts (OLCI) information to CheckMyTrip and other such sites ceases. Thus CheckMyTrip cannot show the later changes made to the seating plan.

remdk I'm glad I'm not the only one to be confused :-D

I'm wondering why they don't just signed them as "occupied".

It can be a way to advice other passengers that there are young (and probably crying) babies? :-P

EDIT: I will fly tomorrow..... I'll keep you posted

Not sure if anyone already pointed this out: on the wiki post for this thread the link to the 787-8 report directs to the A350 report instead.

I called Qatar and it came out the seats are available and selectable. The picture just let you know on that seats you can have the bassinet if you need it.

So do you suggest me to select A1 for more space to let the little boy move without bore other passengers?

777 vs A340?

Hi folks, I'm terribly confused by which aircraft I should fly in J. I have the option of either, on the 10:50am flight out of CMB. I understand that the A340 refurb is a newer but tighter seat, while the 777 seat is an older model but more spacious. Is that a fair assessment? Is there any consensus about which is preferable for a 4h45m daytime flight? All thoughts would be appreciated!

in my opinion, for a 5 hour daytime flight I would take the A340. Much more storage space around the seat to keep all your belongings. If you snag the first row (which I highly recommend), the footrest is wide enough to fit in your carry ons, even. The tightness is only really noticeable if you're sleeping, but you can just push down the armrest fully to make more room.

Whereas on the 777 the storage is a bit ridiculous, I can't even fit my handbag into the compartment below the TV, so I can't have the things I want close to me. The 777 is definitely better for sleeping, and I like the footrest. The seat on the A340 is a bit short when in recline mode and my feet dangle off :<

Thanks for letting me know. I'll ensure it is fixed when I'm in front of a proper screen!

When does the A350 service to JFK begin? The first date I see while booking, from DOH is April 1. Is that the first official commercial flight?

Given the April 1 date, what are the odds they've already planned a 77W substitution ?

A320 from ZAG - which one?

Hi.
I am planning a trip to BKK from ZAG. All the flights from ZAG seem to be served by A320. How can I see which on is it? Of course I would like to be in lie-flat beds for 6 hrs flight…

Mbcan the Wiki on this thread says how to identify the two aircraft versions.
According to Theqatarsource ZAG is flown by shorthaul sloped seat aircraft.

777 seat is better during night flights as it is more conducive for sleeping. As this is a daytime flight, I'll go with A340 refurb.
