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!

Reference post #109, last photo - no privacy for some in-flight rumpy pumpy then.

I’m 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. I’m not impressed with the seats and the hype is over the top.

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.

Just my 2¢, I don't think it was filmed on an A359 or A350-1000, it looks like CGI to me, the passengers may be green screened/composited over the top. Watch the promo video from 2 minutes and see how the lady's pillow moves unnaturally against the background as the camera pans -

Is it just me or do the window seats on the new Delta One all-suite business class look a little wider?

The Etihad/ANA J style seats were already a little narrow for me. Adding a door might feel a little claustrophobic.

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

As has already been answered above, there will be no reduction in seat numbers in J on the 777s.

It is likely the same will apply to the A350.

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 can guarantee this is CGI. Pretty nicely done though.

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.
