A330 Seating Suggestions
Am booked DOH<>HKT<>DOH next march and the service has recently been switched from a 787 to an A332 outbound then a A333 on the return
Flying in J the seat selection map on QR MMB differs from seat maps can find on the web, in particular the exits between the last and penultimate rows!
Any thoughts on the configuration of these aircraft?
And if correct.. what are the exitheow seats like (e.g. much smaller window? More legroom?)

Read a couple of reviews for their A330 which suggested that Row 1 has marginally more legroom.. other than that (as the 1st row is not showing as available) are there issues with any window pairs (eg window not aligned)?
or all much of a muchness?

Row 1 seats do have a larger footwell but probably won't open up for selection before check in (and may be allocated by then anyway).
The other window seats are pretty much the same as each other. But getting in and out can involve some gymnastics to climb over the aisle seat occupant, especially if reclined.
If you are travelling alone, many prefer a centre aisle seat.

Not exactly more legroom, but the ottoman footrest will be much wider, making it somewhat comfortable for a red-eye flight. The footwells in all the others rows are so small, that its a struggle to turn around while sleeping. I'd recommend you to take seats 1A/1C and if that's not available, 3A/3C.

For seat maps, I much prefer to use https://www.aerolopa.com/.
Avoid the window seats, they are like coffins, very narrow and no air. Even for a couple, center seats are much better, not only because of direct access to the aisle but also because more space.
