intuition 'Seat plans'!
They are the problem.
1. There are no reliable current seat plans available for the QR versions of the aircraft. Seat plans do not fly so QR ignore them!
2. The A320 has three or four different seat plans, The A321 has two The A330 has four and the A340, it has been suggested, but not documented, has two.
How can we have a seat plan thread with just one of several seat plans being shown? You would 'always' want to use one of those not shown! To show them all would make the thread unwieldy and confusing. On the other hand if you were to talk about seat 10D on an A320 which version are you talking about the one where the Y cabin starts say in row 6, in row 8 or in row 10?
How long these aircraft will remain in the fleet is also a factor.

In terms of the A340, it could be done in a similar fashion to that of the 777's (where I wrote the two separate layouts).
For the A320's, I agree it will be challenging.

I thought the A340 is now down to one high density config.

As I understand it, there is now one A332 config and 2 A333 configs?

GTR56 hopefully a single A340 seat plan can be confirmed. As I said I have no documentation for two just hearsay!
The A332s have two different seat types in J and two different seat plans as can be seen in the Wiki on the http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qatar...ays-fleet.html thread.

Yes, I was primarily referring to the A320.
And my question comes from the dashboard saying "in the near future". I though that perhaps meant something like "as soon as anyone has time to collect the links and update the dashboard". If I read what remdk says correctly, there are no threads ready to be linked and so it won't happen for quite some time?
As for content of a seating thread, I would assume it is possible to present all existing configurations in one thread without making it unwieldy. I am thinking a thread that in the first few posts and/or in a wikipost shows all existing configs with each their own pros and cons. (I'd be happy to structure such a thread if I only knew details of the configs, but I don't have the needed knowledge of QR fleet)
Sure, if discussion arises in the seating thread it will jump back and forth between all the configs and will not be a thread anyone would want to read from start to end. But if data is well presented in wiki, discussion would probably be minimal. I think it would then mostly be posts about additional information, not so much "which seat is best for me" type of questions.

I've just noticed that if I try to use the dashboard using the mobile view of the FT forum, clicking on the dashboard icons results in a larger view of the icon, rather than linking through to the Wiki article. I'm not sure that's the intended effect....

Apologies for the recent dashboard breakdown. The widgets disappeared into the ether as result of Google’s shutdown of its image hosting service. I’m relieved to say, all has been restored.
Moving forward, I’m inclined to upgrade the dashboard to a revised format that is better suited for mobile browsing. You can see this in place over in the BA forum.
Before I get started, please add any suggested threads you think might be worth adding to the dashboard.
Off the top of my head, here is one suggestion:
J Passengers can pay for Al Sawfa Access - Now 600 QAR
Edited to add: a few more thread suggestions have been added to the wiki

The dashboard is still unusable. Any hope?
Thanks Prospero. Actually it is not working with Chrome but does with Explorer

Forum dashboard appears to be back. As reported over in the BA forum, it's something to do with the ever changing requirements made by browsers to not have mixed HTTP and HTTPS content on a page and Prospero have time to fettle with it and sort out a certificate. Thanks for taking the time out today to fix it.
