leelah - QR are usually more expensive than other airlines to the UK because it's a direct flight. Until recently the price to UK was under 400 pounds (but they recently went up again, which is what this thread is about - but all airlines do that).
Also, QR and Emirates 'typical' seat pitch is the same.
For me, paying a bit extra for a direct flight is worth it, and if QR happen to be cheaper, which they sometimes are, then that's even better. Service on QR has always been satisfactory - i.e. they bring me food and drink when I want it. That's all I ask.
