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!

What type of dock cable? HDMI?

Yok cable which is basically the dock electronics in an in-line box, so one end is HDMI and the other is USB female power input and USB-C male connection to switch.

I wonder if the refresh rate on the other flight was faster allowing better game play or if it is the display itself.

Thank you for posting these! All the wonderful qsuite memories return in an instant.

Trying as many of these as you can is a fun part of the experience.

The food on Qatar has always been very good.
This brings back memories on when we travelled AKL-DOH with a fuel stop in Adelaide since there was an issue with the fuel supply in Auckland. We were not allowed to disembark in Adelaide but there was a crew change, which was very odd with crew changing while passengers were all onboard.
We were well looked after and probably did eat and drink the aircraft dry

This was pre Q-suites but still enjoyed the trip of over 20 hours in a plane.
Hopefully get a chance to try the Q-suites in 2022!!!

I booked Qsuites (R class) for 1 passenger only but due to OW Ruby status, I was able to get free seat selection. However, the QR website doesn't let me select the middle row seats (understandably, since those are supposed to be for couples or quad only), however the RJ and MH websites did let me select middle row seat as a solo traveller. How come?

I had better success making seat selections through the app rather than the website. Give it a try. Best of luck.

I already got my desired seats, my question is mostly about why I was able to select middle row seats as a solo passenger (wife is on a separate booking).

What do we think of the preferred seats in the 777-200LR Q suites suites? Is row 1 / 11 still considered sort of loud?

Lucky enough to have flown both legs q-suites yesterday, and I am in love! Only thing that disappointed me is on both no PJ's or Matress covers. First especially as I'd love to have a pair of them to take home.
Obviously nothing the crew could do anything about and just company policy, but would've just made my q-suite experience complete!

Only thing that I found a bit bothering was the headrest when in bed mode, but I slept nonetheless.

Oh, and was not asked to put my mask on at anytime. Maybe due to the fact I especially chose the rear cabin which on both legs were completely empty, to maximize social distancing from everyone (so wearing a mask is pointless anyway) even though vaccinated and tested negative. Obviously when the crew engaged I put them on however they didn't care really. But they're wearing a mask to protect me, so only reasonable to do return the favour.

What do you mean by company policy no PJs. I thought all Q suites PJs were included? Thanks
