My MIA-DOH-MIA seems to have switched from 350 with Q Suites to a 350-900 with a 2-2-2 business class, but I cannot find anything on Seat Guru that shows a similar configuration. I guess for a single traveler you want the one of the center seats so you have aisle access and no one crawling over you?

Got double lucky, from QSuite to 2-2-2, and a bonus of leaving 1.5 hours late and missing my onward connection in Doha. From 1.5 hour transit to 7.

So the A321 stayed and was the major disappointment of the whole trip including the boarding process from the bowels of DOH (gate C25) - and business boarding dead last - almost 1hr after boarding had started for economy (had I known I would have spent more time at the lounge)
All other legs were Qsuites and I was just amazed by Qatar and their service that I forgive the 4hrs in their A321 and their boarding experience - especially when the crew and service and the food for this short hop to India were top notch - actually the flight attendants were even better than the ones in Qsuites!
BTW - what is going on with plastic cups between Doha and India routes?! I have not had wine in a plastic cup since my last flight on United business class

I posted this in the Q Suites thread, but this is a good general thread to have as data points especially with all the changes happening.
QR 755/756 moved from 777W w/Q to 777W old biz for month of May. Rest of April and beyond May still show Q.

I believe the rule is if you book with QR directly not if your origin is non QR destination. So If AA is part of a QR issued ticket, you should in theory be able to change dates for free if flight goes from qsuite to non qsuite
