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!

Yepp. Totally forgot that Paris Air Show is this week. Too bad I'm busy. Currently on trip to France and a mere 3 hours away from Paris. Shame that I don't have time to head to the Air Show.

Edit: Managed to carve out some time next Saturday and really tempted to pull the trigger on a same day return with AF. A +130€ (air fare + entry ticket) seem somewhat expensive for a day at an air show ...

There's a new video on the QR Instagram page.

Without checking for myself, am I the only one who thinks the seat looks rather narrow on the shoulders?

No, you're not.

Which isn't saying much given that the video was filmed in a mock-up (similar to the one presented at multiple shows so far). You can see at 00:08 that the clip wasn't made in a real aircraft.

Not only that but it seems the seats are right next to the divider/door without any space between. It can have more space in general but might feel more cramped due to this...

Really curious to see first impressions after the first long haul flights!

So, here's a first look of the Q Suite from The Points Guy.

In the picture above you can see what I was talking about: you'll be seating way too close to the divider and your shoulders might even touch it. The other seat, closer to the window, shouldn't have this "problem" (might not even be a problem, just speculation before a trip review).

Looking at the new Qsuites I feel that I must rewrite a well used phrase of mine. 'Never mind the Quality, feel the width'. This is a saying from the drapery trade at the start of the 1900s which really means when selling try to draw attention away from a weak area to something else.
I will say 'Never mind the comfort look at all the features!' about the Qsuites!

Please prove me wrong! Nothing would please me more!

My biggest concern is the knee-room. If I'm lying on my back, I like to be able to bring my knees up and down without hindrance. For this reason I avoid a lot of the staggered seats that enclose your legs. Some of the reverse herringbones have this challenge as well.

I'm in a minority I know - but it's why I am very happy with the business class seats on UA, LH, and other unfancied airlines. Length, footwell size, knee room, and cushioning are the key things for me. I've had no issue with narrower seats, and I'll happily trade storage space, privacy, and food quality for a good bed.

I think AAB mentioned that the catering would be further upgraded with the introduction of the Q-Suite. Any further information on that?

I see the photo from TPG above shows an electronic candle on the dinner setting, similar to what TK uses on its dinner presentations.

I am on QR2 / LHR-DOH / September 18.

How can I find out if that flight will feature the new Q-Suites?

My personal worry is the lack of a view (of the cabin)
With the furthest point of view being only an arms length away I can only imagine these tiny cubicles feeling very claustrophobic.
I think I'd happily trade the privacy for a more spacious view, but I guess I'd have to try it.

Any way to find out if my BOS-DOH A350 flight will have this in August?
