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!

If that counts as exceptional service, you've spent too much time flying on US carriers!

Was surprised this morning on QR848 by a non-Qsuites 777-300ER on the way to KUL.

Plus - unlimited legroom in 1K? Minus - pretty much everything else. Been attempting to fly Qsuites for a long while now, thinking this would finally be the time, but unfortunately lady luck isn't on my side today...

QR website lists all 3 KUL flights as QSuites flights (subject to last minute swap of course).

Yup. Seat map was still showing Qsuites up until I boarded. Oh well. At least I didn't have anyone sitting next to me

Opps. Sorry. I was confused and didn't see the "non QSuites"

Having that said, having both 1K and 1J to yourself is amazing!

My DOH-MLE leg just got switched to QSuites and I had no issue booking rear-facing quad seats. Just praying that there isn't another equipment switch in the next couple months (unlikely) haha

That's slow for QR standards. Just BEFORE I could manage to press the call button to ask for a tea, I was asked whether I would like a tea...

A350-900 window seats

Traveling with my mom PHL-DOH on the way to India, I don’t care about the double suite and care more for window views. Any particular odd row that has more windows/better views? I’m currently in 7K and she is in 9K but worried that 7K might have just a singular window given its bulkhead position.

tried searching this thread but it’s absolutely useless on my phone.

Got an equipment change for my AMS-DOH leg of my trip to NRT, still Q Suites but now no longer in the EF config as on the rest of my flights

What are the odds for another equipment swap?

What are the 6 row Q suites like?

I am flying Copenhagen to Tokyo in October, first leg on the 777 is currently listed as the very old business class.

When will all the 777's be fully upgraded? I had read somewhere it was mid 2019 but that seemed very optimistic!

But this is pure speculation.

The B77W fleet was inducted 2007-14, QR is very unlikely to get rid of them in the near future.

True, but by 2022, when the 77Xs will start their deliveries, the oldest 77Ws will be 15 years old, which seems to be the retiring age for many QR jets. This hunch seems to be backed up by the fact that QR still hasn’t retrofitted many of the oldest 77Ws to qsuites (the a7-ba series registration numbers).

Bangkok Flights

Excuse my ignorance if this has already been covered. I see that here and on other sites that QR830/831 are the only ones mentioned as being Qsuites. However I see on the airline website it says others are Qsuites. Can anyone advise me of the current state of play? I have flown in the 350-900 1-2-1 configuration and found this to be fantastic and in the 330 2-2-2 which was fine, but without the WOW factor. Would love to fly Qsuite on my next trip home in June.Any advice would be most welcome.
