I could see a judge giving QR a pass if it happens here or there... but there is a chart on this thread that is pretty damning vs. the offer of QSuites over several months.)
QR does advertise things available on QSuite flights that are not available on other flights.
And this page seems to 100% say these
flights have QSuites. Period. No mention of YMMV.
What is interesting to me is Qatar calls out
routes with QSuites and it is not what I would expect. Mentioning Chicago - which has one of the highest downgrade routes - as QSuites, and not mentioning DFW - which has one of the most consistent QSuites actual offerings.
What you're forgetting is that nearly nobody posts that their route didn't have QSuite and became QSuite in the last 24 hours despite not being advertised. There's some confirmation bias at play where only complaints get posted. And nobody paid a QSuite surcharge (e.g. air Canada charges a surcharge for domestic lie flat planes, and there you 100% are entitled to refunds if the plane gets swapped. Not the case here, QSuite flights don't cost extra). Check the fine print in your ticket always applies.
