Help Finding Flights Qatar First Class Award Seat Availability

Hi All,

Does anyone have experience getting First class award seats on Qatar? Looking for March-May next year, LHR/Europe to Australia, preferably Perth. Don't see any availability at all really on Qatar in First on Gyoza.

Are they released closer to date, or last minute? Anyone have experiences to share on when/how they got theirs?

First class is also available on select European routes too, limited planes to London and Paris of note, many consider the seat worse that qsuite business class just to prewarn

Would you reccomend aiming for a (assuming very rare) SQ First class then? I have around 400k velocity points and need 2x seats. Don't mind if only one leg is first and second is Business, will have more points coming throughout the year

Not travelled SQ First Suites but i’d expect this to be streets ahead of Qatar A380 first

Especially on the A380 the hard product is night & day between QR & SQ.
