Absolutely!
My wife and I are HUGE Q-Suite fans, but let's not kid ourselves. When you are trying to sleep, lie-flat is lie-flat when it comes to Business Class Seating. What sets the Q-Suite apart is immense privacy, which we enjoyed tremendously. However, from a straight up sleeping perspective, it doesn't matter whether is has the door enclosure or not.
I will say that both flights: Q-Suite and Non Q-Suite, the stewards and stewardesses were simply amazing. They truly made the flights what they were. Shortly before landing in Doha, the steward came by, asked if we had a nice flight, etc and he got to chatting with my wife and me. We mentioned we were spending the night in Doha before continuing on. He wrote down a list of things for us to do AND gave us his phone number in case anything came up or we had any questions. Truly, a great guy..
Another part of the great experience (non airplane related), was when we came back the following morning to check into Doha. Having our own dedicated check-in hall, passport control and screening at 5:00 am was fantastic. We didn't have any bags to check (as they were thru-checked from origin), so we just walked straight through. I believe there might have been one other couple checking their bags, but the serenity and service were absolutely fantastic.
I dream about the day we can do it again (February 2022) and I'll be searching for flights starting in March of next year. Our AA Miles are ready to go
