In terms of the seat, itself, I find that the QR J generation before the QSuite (i.e., in the 359 and 388) has a more comfortable seat. Where the QSuite excels, of course, is privacy.
You didn’t read the original post. My first flight from Chicago to Doha had the Qsuite. I booked 4 flights that were Qsuite assigned. 1/4 flights ended up actually HAVING the Qsuite.
I’ve flown on probably 20+ segments of EK F, and sure it has the “swanky” title to live up to and a shower on the A380. But my ORD-DOH flight was very reminiscent of an EK F flight on a 777. Sure there are more seats on QR, but to compensate QR puts more FA’s in the J cabin. I had excellent and personal service. Not to mention all the dining is ala carte just like EK F and Qatar FA’s were really accommodating regarding eating whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted, again reminiscent of EK F.
The seat/bed was just as private, and comfortable as a 777 EK F seat (if not more so). The only real difference I found between EK F and Qsuites was that 1. There is no shower 2. The entertainment system is better on EK. Other than that I’d happily take Qsuites again on a long flight.
