I found it with QSuites on 3 segments. Only flight that has Q Suites on both segments on the return is the 7:35 pm out of BKK.
Qatar agent told me all the flights out of Montreal to DOH are now equipped with Q Suites.

I bought one of these tickets in January for a March-April trip. At that point the lowest price was about US$2300. Wasn't expecting QSuites, but got them on the DOH-BKK outbound and on the long DOH-YUL return. Just bought another one for an October-November trip at US$2008, plus US$20 for a three-day hold while I looked around to see if I could find anything better. While I had the ticket on hold QR would let me choose special meals but not seats. I paid for the ticket last night and was finally able to select seats: QSuite YUL-DOH, old seat DOH-BKK, and QSuites on both legs of the return trip, all exactly as ExpertFlyer had predicted.
One wrinkle I encountered in this latest booking is that I was not able to find the lowest ($2008) fare on the outbound flights that have the relatively short (3+ hour) layover in Doha. Those were the flights I took in March, arriving Doha 4:50 p.m., leaving at 8:10 p.m., and arriving in Bangkok at 6:55 the next morning. But on all the days in late October that I could have flown, that flight was available but was $300 more expensive. The $2008 fare was available only with a 8-to-9-hour layover in both directions. So on this next trip I will arrive DOH 4:50 p.m., leave at 1:40 a.m., and arrive in BKK at 12:30 p.m. I much prefer the earlier flight -- not so much because of the layover as because 7 a.m. is a better time to arrive in Bangkok -- but I decided the relatively mild inconvenience was worth the $300 savings.
Another thing to notice is that there are several QR flights between DOH and BKK every day. On the way back four of these flights leave BKK within a couple of hours of each other, roughly 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. On my flight days in mid-November these flights were all available at the lowest price. I used ExpertFlyer to look at seat maps and chose the one that had QSuites.

Just booked ORD-DOH-BKK Round trip with a free stopover on the way back and a $28 hotel. $2477 through Amex IAP.
Lots of routes in Sept for $2500-$3100 from ORD. Qsuites on all 4 segments.

Has anybody been able to find good deals to India? Ideally I am looking for DEL at the end of November or early December.
I'm based in YOW, so flying out of YUL would work. I normally fly *A, but the QSuites product looks fantastic!

While I love TK's soft product in business I don't think their hard product can hold a candle to QSuites. But the OP normally flies *A and it is cheaper.

Thanks @cheltzel - I can see that too. Also I see Etihad has a similar price with a connection in Abu Dhabi.
I'm still debating what I want to do. I originally was looking for a stop over in Europe (Germany or Switzerland) and so I was looking at LH, LX, and AC. The AC flight back is perfect time-wise leaving at 12:45AM (instead of 3am or 4am that some carriers depart at).
However pricing out AC / LH for YYZ - MUC - DEL and then AC for DEL - YYZ back comes out at quite a bit in J ($3600US+) which is a touch more than what I want to pay
Anyway .... I don't want to hijack this thread with my own travel plans
