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

Im not impressed as Akbar Al Baker drummed up the hype that it would be revolutionary seats, blah blah blah and yet they come up with smaller width seats with some backward facing seats which just looks like an enhanced BA Club World concept with sliding doors.
This is a big let down. Im not impressed with the seats and the hype is over the top.

Correct me if I wrong, but I do have the feeling that this was filmed on a A350. Is it even possible to do such filming while the aircraft is still being prepared by Airbus? How early is the cabin fitted during assembly?
Edit: I've now watched the 3D-Tour and by the looks of it I would tend to say that it is the forward section of an A350-1000. Regarding the seats, I only have to comments: The "family rooms" may get a little annoying if people start something similar to "kids table" in restaurants. I somewhat dislike the many violet tones. Other than that it looks rather promising.

Not exactly, but they are looking to make the F seats more private.

I hope there are two armrests rather than just on one side. The EY A380 aisle/fwd facing J seats had a tiny armrest and on one side with the divider and you can barely sit comfortably with that. Heres hoping that smaller cushioned part comes up like on the B787. Also, from one of the above photos it seems that the lifejacket maybe under that part as there is a "pull" tab on it.
Further, has anyone noticed how on the window, and middle love seats in the photo, the protrusion from the side table from the seat "facing you" is there under the screen. But on the aisle-window seats and couple seats sharing the large centre table have no ledge/protrusion under the screen.

They probably have to update it at some point, when they introduce a new A380 bizz.
Not to mention that there's more privacy for passengers compared to what customers currently get on the 777 or on other airlines.
Club world is much more awkward than that. Even if the divider has to be down for departure and arrival, you won't automatically stare at each other.
I consulted with my cat which meowed twice indicating that nobody knows

And by the time they're done it's really kinda meh since Delta stole their thunder with the 'revolutionary' walls before Q Suite was out.
