I’ve been tracking the equipment for DOH-MLE and MLE-DOH for the last few weeks and they do so many last minute equipment swaps.
MLE-DOH was being fairly consistent q-suites up until last week but now there are a lot of non q-suites. DOH-MLE was pot luck, some days it is q-suites, others it’s not.
How do the 787 and A359 compare (non q suites)? Our first leg is on the 787.
Both aircraft are very comfy, having flown them recently to BOS. They both have a mini bar counter laid out in the middle of the cabin with champagne & fruit and snacks
For the 787, I sat in row 6EF on the return & it was super private, after seeing a couple seated there on the outbound from CGK. The lavatory nearby didn't bother me.
For the 359, the mini cabin of rows 7-9 is quieter but the pax in Y will be shuffling thru' during boarding so that's the only down side.
I hope everyone gets the QSuites too! ^

I think so too, but my memory is hazy. LOL ...
My CMB flights were changed from QSuites to Qatam & has never changed back since so YMMV
Trying calling or emailing the local QR office, they may allow you a change to one with QSuites.
CMB office was fantastic, their replies were prompt & helpful. They even helped me with my seat assignments on the QSuites from JFK-DOH.
I tried to select a seat in an empty quad but the system wouldn't allow it. LOL ...
I already knew that but just trying my luck.
I'll just try at the airport when I check in, or shamelessly invite myself into a Quad with only 2 pax in it just for a look see
