QR flies DOH-AMM as well, and it's lie flat unlike RJ.

RJ has a 787 in that route sometimes, should be lie flat.

LAX > CPT oct - nov for a couple, prefer F but J is fine too with a ton of Amex MR, YQ  is not an issue.

They would like to fly EK F if its doable to get 2 suites using points with Amex MR.
