Will be flying DOH-SYD J in a few months, and not looking forward to the disturbance if another pax needs to get out from the window. Last flew this sort of J layout in EK and am not a fan of it.

Are they going to get rid of that awful 2-2-2 layout and change to something decent like the EY staggered layout or a herringbone?

QR has 78" pitch, 22" wide seats (6 across) http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Qat..._777-300ER.php
EK has 60" pitch, 20.5" wide seats (7 across) http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Emi...ss_private.php
Even when compared to EK's A380, EK has 48" pitch, 18.5" wide seats (in a staggered layout), QR is still vastly superior. http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Emi...bus_A380_B.php

My AMS-DOH flights in May are showing as 777s - one way with 24 seats and the other with 42 seats.

DC10 according to http://www.theqatarsource.com/qatara...tetracker.html apart from 1 A321 and 1 longhaul A320 during the last 30 days all flights are shorthaul A320s. These have the shorthaul sloped seats in J.

please help
Hi guys,
Taking my wife away for anniversary so want to get this right. I'm flying manchester to Doha. 1 leg is on an a330 (according to the website now, the flight is in december tho - might this change?) and the other 787.
I have read this forum as much as I can and still cannot work out if it will be flat seats or not. There are 5 rows. They are selling first class but from what i can work out there is no first class on 5 row J a330?
How can i tell if these seats will be the refurbed (non 787) flat bed? Lots of websites say different things...
really grateful for any clues!

bigRW if there are five rows in J then the aircraft is an A330-300 with lie flat seats.
If there are three rows of First class seats and four rows of J seats then it is an A330-300 with sloped seats. This aircraft has been used DOH-MAN-DOH but not recently.
If there is no First class and four rows of J seats it is an A330-200. There are two aircraft with sloped seats but they are scheduled to be withdrawn in third quarter this year. They are occasionally used on this route. Apart from the registration numbers there is no way to differentiate between lie flat and sloped seat aircraft.
For regional flights Business class does not exist and the J cabins are designated and sold as F.
