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!

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.

Seems to me only QR830/831 are guaranteed to be Qsuites operated on any particular day. Any other flights may be operated by qsuites equipped aircraft on some days or seasonally. QR booking engine seems to correctly indicate qsuite cabin but you are still subjected to equipment swap at anytime.

I have upcoming flights in Feb, with QR831 from BKK having qsuites, and QR836 to BKK having old 2-2-2 J seats, while my QR837 & QR836 flights in April are all qsuites. I hope they stay that way 🤞

hello! I’m flying LHR-DOH-DEL on Friday and then DEL-DOH-CDG the Friday after that (Qsuites on 3/4 legs). I booked yesterday and wasn’t able to confirm my seat so this morning I called to understand why. The phone agent said all the window seats in my Qsuite legs were blocked (as were the quads) and he was only able to book me in center seats. He commented the Heathrow flight was just full, but he was surprised by the Delhi flights as they weren’t full.

Is this something you all have experience with? As a solo traveler I was hoping for a window seat (A/K preferable). Are the airport agents generally helpful with these sorts of matters, as he told me that’s would be able to put me in a window seat.

Is there an update as to when the entire long haul fleet will have the Q Suites installed?

I am flying QR845 KUL-DOH in Apr and the seating arrangement is still non-Qsuites

Not sure if QR just simply haven't update the equipment arrangement beyond March. The flight shows Qsuites seats until end-March

My flight on Monday has just been changed to 42 seat Q Suites from 24 and the rear cabin is still pretty empty. I'm currently in 1K and wondering if there's any advantage in moving to the rear cabin?

QR167 (DOH-ARN) changed at the last minute to Qsuites from the old 2-2-2 layout. Very happy! Writing this on board using the reasonably sound Wi-fi.

hi all, I booked ADL - DOH Qsuite flight in september.
I'm able to choose single seats (A,B or J,K).

But all middle seats, also the duo seats are blocked? (D,E,F,G).
So not occupied, but just set to not available, what's the reason for this?
You can see them on the map, but it's in pink and the seats are in grey.

Some good news to share - taking QR853 on the return journey and it is showing as A7-BBA (i.e. Qsuites)! Finally. Time to pop a bottle on board to celebrate
