If you read through the hundreds of posts here on exactly this issue, you'll find that there is no solution that always works. Sometimes, calling any QR office works, sometimes not. Sometimes calling Doha works, sometimes not. Sometimes the QR web site lets you assign seats, sometimes not. Sometimes having a QR ticket works, sometimes not. Sometimes being on one route works while another doesn't. Sometimes blocked center seats open up within a few weeks of flight, sometimes way ahead, sometimes they go blocked again.

In my own case, as I've posted, I've booked QR8 LHR-DOH with Q Suites on multiple itineraries. Sometimes it's been trivially easy to assign EF seats with two of us in the PNR. Sometimes nothing worked. One itinerary, no call center could do it, and over a period of a few months I stopped in at QR agents in Doha and other airports, and at the QR F lounge in Doha. At the DOH F lounge, an agent spent 45 minutes calling people in various departments, but no one was able to assign us EF seats. So, while some techniques sometimes work, there does not appear to be any guaranteed solution, at least as it appears now.

Its worth private messaging [MENTION=842638]QRS[/MENTION]upport on Twitter with a polite message. I got E and F seats assigned within 15 minutes. No fuss.

When EF first implemented aircraft change alerts, this was true. But feedback from subscribers led EF to add seat configuration changes to the aircraft change alert. This has been the case for s few years now, IIRC. Have you had a situation within the past couple of years where you had set an aircraft change alert that did not trigger due to seat map changes?

Exactly. I've had BA flights repeatedly trigger the alert for months even though the aircraft remained the same (I was booked in J, which never seemed to change, but presumably down the back changed).

Is IAH permanently switching to QSuites in January 2019? The 772LR seems to show up everyday.

They have just replaced the 77W with Qsuites by an A380 on AR41/40 CDG.
I have a return ticket CDG-HKG in September/October and this is the fourth change involving a segment losing (3) or gaining (1) Qsuites

I gained to q suites on a recent trip. 1) Mucat to doha 2)Doha to BKK.

Whilst the suites are nice I still prefer the A380

ut I agree that the AS80 window seats are great for solo pax, even if I like the suite privacy. Seeing people walking towards me in the aisle distract my movie viewing... On the other hand, the bar section is really nice...
