I thought there were still two that haven't yet been changed? Nevertheless, QR will no doubt try to avoid using these on routes like LAX but in theory it could happen.

There are basically two layers of Qsuites uncertainty the way I see it. Number one is will they completely switch the aircraft type in the schedule to a different one without Qsuites - this typically happens further out and is the main risk on e.g. BKK or LHR where there are many rotations and QR like to vary the capacity frequently, but you can avoid this by choosing a route which is consistently 777 or A350. The second is will they switch the type of aircraft from a Qsuites to non-Qsuites equipped version of a 777 or A350, which is more difficult to mitigate and can happen at the last minute, it typically hits routes like HKG where it's easy for QR to switch to a non-Qsuites equipped 777 at the last minute.
