Will be flying J on DOH<->MLE in about a week on these CX planes, and flying it in F in October. Hope folks here post their F experiences.

You guys will have your report in about 48 hours if someone doesn’t beat me to it. Al Safwa for 8 hours followed by DOH-MLE in F.

It looks like Qatar will no longer sell first class cabin on flights to and from Hong Kong beginning March 27. They will only run first class on flights on HK flight between March 16 and 26. I am not sure if Qatar realizes that there is just no demand for first class on the HKG fights so it is better just to keep it empty during HKG flights or they are just going to change the aircraft used on this route (maybe back to A350-900s).
Male flights are not affected, and they still have three daily flights using these ex-CX four class 77Ws with first class.

On late February, they cancelled all Tuesday and Friday flight between 7 March - 30 June 2022.
Very recently, they changed the type of aircraft will be operate between 16 - 31 March:
77P (42 Q Suites+312 Economy) replaces 7D3 (ex CX aircrafts) - 16, 17 March
77N (24 Q Suites+388 Economy) replaces 7D3 (ex CX aircrafts) - 20 March
77I (42 BE Mini Pod+316 Economy) replaces 7D3 (ex CX aircrafts) - 19, 21, 23, 24, 26 March
351 replaces 7D3 (ex CX aircrafts) - 27, 30, 31 March
Switched back to A350(-900) with Q Suite at the moment - 28 March
-All info from QR Cargo-
Which means first class for HKG will be introduced at 2 April the earlist. (QR818/817 on 1 April remains cancelled)

That Brunello is insanely good.
Wi-Fi claims to be the same Super Wi-Fi provided on most other Qatar flights but it’s a completely different login hosted by GoGo.
IFE is VERY limited, defiantly not Oryx although it’s skinned as such.
Crew is fantastic and just as excited about a new aircraft as we are.

Only thing QR has IMHO that is better is the menu. We only got a breakfast service which wasn't that great.
Hope you had a good flight

@jmail1 Did Qatar offer any type of amenity kit or pajama for this short flight?
I am pleasantly surprised that they offer two meals and thanks for sharing!
