I've previously flown in the middle suites with my wife, but this will be my first solo flight in Qsuites. Everything I read says to choose a rear-facing seat for privacy, but only 11A or 11K are available. Therefore, I have a few questions:
- Should I be concerned about galley and engine noise in row 11?
- Is the handicap accessible seat (2J) different than the other seats in any way?
- My itinerary shows the flight operated by an A350-900, but the seat map shows 12 rows in J, which only the 1000 has. I'm guessing this is a typo and not an indicator this flight could be down-gauged? It's been the 1000 on this route since I can remember.
Any feedback is appreciated.
You can see a to scale seat map for the A350-1000 for Qatar, with the windows marked right here -
https://www.aerolopa.com/qr-airbus-a351 - it looks like both 11 and 12 have a window blocked out. You'll see that 1A has two windows for example.
Looking at it, 2J looks the same as the other seats.
Regarding noise, the A350 is very quiet inside no matter where you are, so you should be okay.
