Qatar have confirmed the presence of a policy whereby if a customer booked a QSuites flight and subsequently gets an aircraft type swap can you request travel on an alternative flight, subject to availability, see post #2709 Previously this included change of routing, now it only includes changing the date on the same routing. QR issued tickets only!
Qatar Airways confirms new business class seatA video of the new Q Suite can be seen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yhZDsctiZg
Photos of the new Q Suite can be seen here - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28007634-post109.html
From TGFlyerGirl:
there are some quite complex rules entries around seat selection - but in essence, solo travellers as a guideline won't be assigned QUADS (they are blocked off), and it's generally for 3/4 pax families. Once a QUAD has been broken up (out of necessity - for example with a couple in the E/F seats), then the rest of the quad is unlocked and can be filled with individual travellers.
They've also made 1A/2B last offered to allow airport flexibility to handle last minute requests. The other 18 windows and aisles are free for reservation as per the normal process.
The bassinet position is 11B/J (77W) and 8B/J (A359), reduced mobility seats are 2/4/6/9 B and J.
All A/E/F/K's are backward facing, all B,D,G,J's are forward facing. Total 20 Forward/22 Backward.
Capacity:
77W: J42/Y312
High density 77W: J24/Y388
77L: J42/Y230
35K: J46/Y281
359: J36/Y247

What type of aircraft was it? Also, that was 177 but the seat is horizontal/flat, right? You might find that that is comfortable. The aircraft flies at a few degrees nose-up (depends on the a/c type, but 2-3 is not uncommon), which would give you a perfectly horizontal bed. If the bed is horizontal to the aircraft, you end up flying a couple of degrees head down because of the nose-up attitude of the aircraft, which I find disconcerting and difficult for sleeping. Works great for me.

Just booked TXL - BKK return in Nov and are surprised to finally find the seat map (24J/388Y) of Q-Suite on both TXL-DOH-TXL legs. Looks like A7-BEB which returned from maintenance with Q-Suite (first one in high density) this week will primally used on this leg. QRcargo shows it as 77N, so no chance at the moment to see if equipped with Q-Suite or not.

Now the old AA 150 degree seats, those were something else.

Yes, of course. However, the statement that because planes fly somewhat nose-up at cruise, an angled seat is effectively flat (and a true-flat seat is effectively slanted down) is one that has been repeated quite a bit as justification for the angled seats such as the two I mentioned (old QF and JL). My point was only that such statements never matched my own personal experience flying such seats. I'm sure those who made the statements had experiences that matched what they said.

Flew AMS-Doha in 3E/F and both Mrs E2S & I were very impressed. I kept my door open, as there was only 1 other passenger on my side of the plane. Mrs E2S closed hers after the meal as she wanted to stop the CC topping up her champagne

On the 777 Q Suites is there anywhere they set out wine/snacks/etc. like on the "old" A359 layout? I like having a place to stand if even for a moment without feeling i'm in the galley.

Does Flight QR1364 Have Qsuite
Flying business class on the 77W to Doha from Johannesburg and cannot seem to find the correct seat map.
Does the 777-300ER (W77) have Qsuite? I see they are rotating through (A7-BAK)(A7-BAC)(A7-BAO)(A7-BEJ)(A7-BAO)(A7-BAC)
