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!

QSuites from Houston

Anybody know how to make sure you are getting a QSuite out of I AH and not the old business seat?
I'm going to be flying to BKK 12/27.
I was reading that the QSuite equipped planes were going to be every other day.
I've checked Seatguru. No matter the day they only show the old layout.
I'm paying full price for this, so I would like to make sure I'm getting the seat type I want.
For the same price almost I could get a Prestige Suite out of LA on Korean Air and be sure its the one I want. But I'd prefer A QSuites on Qatar.
Help?

If you want to remove most of the risk of equipment change, go with KE.

I remain mystified by the Q suite reservation system. Booked an October QR16 flight some weeks ago and not able to touch the quad seats as they were all blocked as per normal. Then out of the blue this afternoon everything opens up on a totally empty flight. Same with the return QR5 3 weeks later - again no other seats reserved. If this is a temporary glitch suggest you fill your boots quick ! BTW it is a 2 person reservation.

Now both HKG-DOH QR817 and DOH-CDG QR41 have been changed to Qsuite for early october.
But it is likely to change again several times before October

Till day before yesterday the seat map for my upcoming flight SIN-DOH (QR 945) on June 20th was showing up as the standard configuration of the A350-900 in J. I checked it online today and the seat map has switched to the Qsuites!! The aircraft is still showing as the A350-900. Lucky me - I now get to fly SIN-DOH-JFK all the way in Qsuites

26% of 77W have Q Suites (11/44)
23% of all A350s (including the sole A350-1000) have the Q Suites (6/26) *not including the two LATAM A359s
11% of all 77L have Q Suites (1/9)

i think it was just luck that they did an aircraft change. I was told at the check-in counter that the route will not be normally served by the Qsuites.
