Nice. That would be my third choice after the 777 and 767. Still an enjoyable product if you have the lie flat version.

70K AA x1
Could not find JFK DOH nonstop with Qsuites, so opting for now LAX DOH allegedly with Qsuites based on this article: https://onemileatatime.com/qatar-airways-qsuites-lax/

Did you check IAD and ORD?
The DOH-AMM flight should be sold as F and get you access to the F lounge too.

There's a time limit now to how long you can spend in the lounge. I don't think overnight will work anymore.

How were you able to hold the reservations in AF without transferring the points?
