Qatar plane swap

[Shoddybugger]

Hi all

Qatar have swapped our plane from the CP wet lease 777 to a Qatar A320. How do I tell if it’s the lie flat business class or the recliner type? I’ve experienced both and feel there a substantial difference.

TIA

Is there a seat map in manage my booking that may give some clues?

Check the seat maps on aerolopa

I’ve put a similar reply in the chat thread, where you’ve also posted! Also, try Aerolopa.

Thanks, it didn’t appear to post in the other forum so I impatiently posted again!

The seat maps don’t give much clue on aerolopa. Both types have 12 seats. Both economy start at row 8! There is a difference in the amount of economy seats so I’ll try a dummy booking in economy and get my abacus out I suppose

There are 2 types of A320 with similar layouts but on one the seats face forward, on the other they are on an angle, so the Qatar seat map may help.

Alternatively, search for your exact flights on either google flights or skyscanner and check the details – they normally state if it’s a lay flat bed. Or re-search your flights on Qatar itself and see what they say on the details

I would be very surprised if Male was a recliner but never say never with QR

Quite a capacity cut from a 777!
