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

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
Which routes have Qsuites?

Regarding QSuites, our booking ARN-SIN-OSL went from 0/1 to 1/1 to 1/0 to 0/0 (outbound/inbound).
This helped us rebook to ARN-SIN, KUL-ARN in D class and it also gave us a day more of vacation.
But now or ARN-DOH QR172 on April 10 and DOH-SIN QR944 on April 11 are operated with an A359.
KUL never has QSuites and DOH-ARN QR172 in April 22 is A359 as well IIRC (definitely no QSuites).
How often to they make equipment changes so few weeks before departure?
Our last equipment change was exactly one month before departure.

KUL has Q-Suites quite a few times (usually on the 777 scheduled flights). Check QR cargo a week or two before your flight. Enjoy the Plaza Premium First Lounge at KUL

Well, it looks like both H and F keep flying (H returned from AKL and F left to AKL first hours of this morning). AKL seems to be the last long range non-qsuite destination, with H and F doing the rotation for at least the next 30 days, according to qrcargo (77K shows up just 5 times in the next month). I don’t know what to expect for my flights early next month.

I'm guessing I was on F then, having just arrived in AKL. Disappointed to not get the Q Suites for such a long flight but it was ok and I must have slept a good 10 hours - no seat mate helped so I could have one chair and one bed. Surprised that I couldn’t find any power sockets other than USB. Was I looking in the wrong place?

How does QR cargo help? That sounds interesting, but I don't know what or where to check...
Plaza Premium First?! I actually had plans to go to the MH First lounge at KUL as Oneworld Emerald - or is that in different terminal?

Ah, nice! Unfortunately we have ARN-DOH and DOH-ARN both operated by A359 without QSuites while KUL-DOH is A333 and DOH-ARN is A359 without QSuites again...

QR sends their passenger to Plaza Premium First (and as a OWE, you are entitled to use the MH First Lounge too). Same terminal/concourse. Maybe 5 minutes walk from each other.

How is that different from checking under "Manage My Booking" or on ExpertFlyer? Which both show the seatmap...?
We're booked on QR172 (ARN-DOH), QR944 (DOH-SIN), QR853 (KUL-DOH), QR171 (DOH-ARN).
Strange that they don't send them to the MH business lounge? Is the Plaza Premium lounge better?

I don't know the reason - could be MH Lounge is not up to QR's standards or PPL is cheaper than MH lounge or MH lounge has limited offering at QR's departure time (QR853). MH Lounge is open 24/7 but things wind down after the last MH flight leaves around midnight (food is reduced and workers are cleaning the lounge).
Both have sit down dining option tho.

Thanks!
Yeah, I mean, like I said, they completely swapped everything out over the course of few weeks. Added and removed QSuites back and forth. Let's hope they'll put them back!
