Qatar Airways is adding another pin to its Airbus A350 route map with the debut of double-daily A350 flights to Munich.
From October 1st 2015 the A350 will join Qatar's other next-gen flagship, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, on the Doha-Munich schedule – but as of November 1st that second flight will also be upgraded to the A350.
Qatar launched its A350 with flights to Frankfurt in January and March this year and earlier this month began an A350 service between Doha and Singapore.
By the middle of August, all three daily Doha-Singapore flights will run on the advanced A350.
Qatar's A350 sports the airline's latest business class seat, which makes best use of the A350's extra wide design to create a spacious premium travel experience.
Each set converts to an 80 inch fully flat bed and has its own 17 inch high-def personal video monitor.

Would be interesting to see how the B787 and A350's economics compared on this route.
However, doubt Qatar is going to release those figures.

Any update as to when/if Perth will be seeing the A350?

It would be nice, but I think the capacity is a fair bit less than the 77W they fly to Perth now. (In place of the 772 they used to fly).

Originally it was reported that Perth would be one of the launch cities but now is conspicuously absent from many recent route announcements.

I have a feeling Perth could stay on a 77W
