Given the limited number of Qsuites frames, unless you are flying on one of the existing Qsuites routes (LHR, CDG, NYC, ICN, etc.) I think a switch is highly unlikely at best, I'm afraid.

Does anyone have advice how to upgrade with points on popular routes, LHR-DOH, DOH-SIN - both either way - expertflyer shows seats availble in Biz class on the dates I travel yet within my dashboard I cannot upgrade despite having the right booking class (V & N). Is my only choice to hope i'll receive the email to Upgrade with Cash as few days prior to the flights &/or do it when at the airport? TIA

To upgrade your ticket with Qmiles or Qcredits before going to the airport, you need availability in the U fare bucket which isn't displayed by Expertflyer. This fare bucket is often empty on these high business class demanded routes. You have more chance to get a cash upgrade offer by email or to upgrade your ticket at airport check-in with your Qmiles or Qcredits (at airport check-in they allow upgrade for any available J seat, even if U fare bucket is empty)

If there's standard award availability (not Q2 2x award) on the same flights on QR website, it usually means you can upgrade, but not 100% sure.

My wife and 4 year old are traveling JFK-DOH-CCU in Business, in Dec 2018 and have a 12 hour layover (6AM-6PM) at Doha.
I was wondering what would be the best way to spend those 12 hours at the airport? Are there any airside hotels that I can have them check-in at, without having to go through immigration? Or even any sleeping pods?
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Where can I find information of the current routes which offer the "real" F? I guess I am asking which routes have the A380 although I am not 100% sure whether that is indeed the same question or not.
CDG, LHR, BKK, SYD, ... where else? I am looking for the most up to date route list.

And don't forget Qatar is known to switch AC at the last moment, on some routes more often then others (BKK springs to mind)

I've booked EDI-DOH-SIN and return for me and my wife in October in J but on checking the booking I've spotted my wife's middle name is missing from the booking, is this going to prevent her from flying? I spoke on the telephone to the QR call centre who said that it isn't an issue so long as the first name and surname are correct-which they are.
Her name shows as correct on her Privilege Club and when selecting her as a co-traveller.
