Qatar Airways has come across as remarkably organized lately when it comes to their A380 operations, which almost seemed too good to be true. However, it looks like Qatar Airways will be changing up their A380 schedule to all three destinations they're scheduled to fly the whale jet. It's only to keep us on our…

Wonder what the load factors are ? They're great and all, but been to Doha once, and that's enough.
i still can't wrap my hear around BKK... sure they can sell a lot of coach seats on those flights but what about premium seats?
@ M Simons -- I think they're going mostly after people connecting elsewhere. They're trying to make Doha a global hub for people flying between other regions.
@ Lantean -- The problem with your question is that they're not a for profit company (or I suppose they are, but with what they're paying per barrel of oil, does it really matter). Maybe His Excellency had a family vacation planned there? 😉
Hi Lucky,
I just checked out QR40 reservation in F for next May and it hasn't moved from 4:00 to the 3:00 departure you mentioned. Is this an adjustment due to daylight savings?
@ Tyler -- Whoops, yes, the schedules are +/- one hour based on daylight savings.
I bet this is temporary. It seems to me they are upping usage instead of keeping them on the ground for long.
Awesome - already booked for QR41 in late February so I get to try the new business class on the A380 in addition to 2 legs on the 787.
Ben,
I am booked in a flight from DOH to BKK on the 25th of december and it`s true. My seatmap already shows the a380, which is awesome!
Very very happy about that.
Given that EK flies DXB - BKK - HKG and RJ flies AMM - BKK - HKG, KQ does NBO - BKK - HKG and ET used to do ADD - BKK - HKG (they now fly straight to HKG then forward to ICN), I'm hoping QR will fly that A380 DOH - BKK - HKG as well. What do you think Lucky?
@ Alvin -- Highly unlikely I think, given how few A380s they are and that they have them scheduled for a tight turn in Bangkok as of now.
You're quite right, Qatar Airways haven't a clue as to which route to fly their A380's. It seems that for four days 6th - 9th November, they have temporarily substituted an A340 for flights QR003/4 (DOH/LHR/DOH) as the A380 is 'booked' into Paris. Come next Monday, the A380 comes back to London and the Paris flight reverts to a B777-300! This is going to annoy those passengers who specifically booked to fly QR003/4 knowing that they would get a seat on the new super jumbo (me included). But this will be nothing to how upset some business class passengers will be when they find out that the 'product' on the older planes isn't quite up to the new offering!
Had a trip booked to BKK months ago. A few weeks ago, I checked my booking and suddenly our DOH - BKK flights were changed from flying the b777 to the a380. Naturally, I was very excited, as I've never been on an a380 before. Then I started reading more about this changed coz i was under the impression that the a380 flies to London. Things then seemed way too good to be true. Then I saw something about Paris, and i was baffled. Up till this day, I dont know which aircraft I am flying coz i just dont know what to believe anymore!
am booked for the A380 for 11july Bkk from Jka Nairobi via Doha can't wait to experience my first class experience
I'm trying to pick a380 flying from clt to bom on business class on qatar airways /
