Our flight connection is 1 hr 50 mins from Doha to Hanoi and the QR004 seems to have its moments with regards to delays. We are flying from Heathrow so I don’t think the AS lounge really comes into play here. The only offer to First was LHR to Doha. The Doha to Hanoi part is normal Business Class on a 747 -9.

Totally spot on IMO. Id upgrade using q credits( but I think the jump from econ to bus is far better). The toilets are super impressive but id say the food, by and large is the same. The entertainment system is more cumbersome as well IMO.
On that particular route , I would have nice food in the lounge at LHR, then enjoy the excellent service in J. I am a huge fan of the o board bar and always opt for A380 when it's an option.
