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 booked two center seats E&F online over a month ago (CDG route) and had no problem. Some rows are still available for booking online.

Correct, when the booking is for 4 people, the centre seats are available for reservation (if otherwise empty)

That's correct. Here's an example: these 2 bookings are for the 3 of us. 2 in one booking, 1 in another - on the same flight. With the solo booking, I'm unable to select the center quads. With the two person booking, i am.

I have a two person booking, and middle seats are blocked. A call into Qatar said it is not allowed to book those seats and "they will open at airport". Inconsistency for sure.

It must be inconsistent, because I just made another booking for two persons and could access any center seats on internet.
Might be route dependent. The three flights I talk about are DOH-CDG (or return) route.

alhitmi the flight number varies. At the moment it is QR002 but changes later to QR008, and some days does not fly (such as16-19 January).
Since you give no dates you will need to check it yourself on Check Availability | QR-Cargo
QR have at least seven different aircraft types so it is not possible to give a precise answer without dates.
Do remember rule no 1 on this forum:"Never book a flight for the aircraft type. You have a good chance of being disappointed!"

Just took QR1 to London. Of my whole trip it was probably the most disappointing. The seat was great and I loved the style of it. But wow was the service terrible. 2 hours before landing I was asked did I want any food or alcohol as they start closing down the bar. I "reserved" my food and drink. Luckily I found someone at the end who I asked could I have my whiskey with a plastic cup. I wish he was the person who served me as he was great. Tbh I don't think I'll ever go out of my way for a Q-Suite again. I'll take the A380 which is so much quieter and the lounge/bar is so friendly.

Not wanting to take sides here, just want to share that the crew member on my last flight told me that the QSuites is making life difficult for then because there isn’t mich soace to manoeuvre when serving.
