Am I just unlucky and on a flight that doesn't offer it? Or is it too early to tell as I have been looking at the past flights and 1/2 were Qsuites and the ones planned for March 2020 on are all old configuration (at least on expert flyer)
If you read a few pages of posts here, you'll see that QR is notorious for equipment swaps, from Qsuite to non-Qsuite and vice versa (and often back and forth any number of times). You can check ExpertFlyer to see the currently-loaded seat map, which is accurate as to what QR currently has configured, but may change any number of times before the flight departs. If you are an EF subscriber, you can create an Equipment Change alert which will notify you if the seat map changes.

True when both seats are used independently. For true double-bed mode, QR offers a thin strip that covers the dividers between the seats, making them into a continuous surface.

I booked this as I will be travelling with my wife and two 3-year old twins. I had thought it would be the Q-suites with the quad pod set-up but when I looked at the seat map, it's just the usual 1-2-1 formation. I had read that Philadelphia was switching to Q-suites by September 2019.
Is the layout correct? What are the chances of it being the Q-suite? I don't want to have to spend 12 hours on a plane with 3-year olds across the aisle from us...
See my comment above (or earlier posts in the thread). But as others have said, if you are in a reverse-herringbone layout, using two center pairs should be fine.

It may be different with Qsuite, since people do post "I was scheduled for non-Qsuite and to my surprise and delight it changed to Qsuite!" In my experience, QR has far more equipment swaps than any other airline I fly, and I fly a lot of different carriers.
