Indeed - that is true even of my own experiences. Just to recap: first everything was blocked; then all the blocked seats were released and I was able to assign E/F; then they were all blocked again. As of yesterday they were unblocked again. But today they are blocked again!

Which rear-facing Q-suites (on the 359/351) have the best view of the front of the engine and wingtip?

Similar experience.

I would suspect further up you can be, the better the angle for the wing and engine. At least that's been my experience on forward facing seats as well as on United's rear facing version.

havent done Q-quites qas yet, but on BA777's seats 10A/K have the best view , so first seat after doors 2 should work

Still no update on ORD route. Qsuites is only scheduled till Oct 27. Acc. to QA rep on Twitter, ORD is confirmed with Qsuites until end of 2018 but i am not sure if i should take tat info seriously. Been waiting for confirmed winter schedule to be out.
FWIW, I just booked ORD for July 2019 and the seat map I used to assign myself seats on qatarairways.com shows the Qsuites layout. That doesn't directly answer your question about winter, and they could swap equipment at any time, but I would guess that they will not.

I had a brilliant view of the engine on the 77W seated in 8A. I would imagine the 7A/K, 8B/J, 9A/K to be equivalent

Why? The engine doesn't do anything one can see. The wingtip does flex a bit, which would probably hold my attention for 5 min or so. (I haven't been on QR QSuites yet, but I have flown in a BA CW rear-facing window seat.)

I know Lucky on OMAAT waxed eloquent about his view of the engine from a rear-facing QSuites window seat, but damned if I know why.

To each his own. I've never chosen a seat to get a good view of the engine. but I could see someone doing so. Maybe they just like to see the engine, or maybe they want to take pictures, with the engine and clouds.

Personally, as an aviation enthusiast, I absolutely love to see the engine, especially during different stages of the flight. I find the spiralling of the cone swirls to be mesmerising and so that’s why I actually really like rearward facing seats.

The rear facing seat is more like a window seat whereas the front facing ones are more of an aisle seat due to the placement of the console. In other words, you'd have to really lean over if one wanted to plaster their face against the window to absorb the views.

Almost everyone here knows that. But what's the point if your view is of the engine and wing?

Interesting. My mom just flew QSuites from DOH to CCU on the 7th. I didn't realize it was being used on that route yet.

It does so appear that QR is putting Qsuite configured aircraft on routes rather "randomly", apart from certain routes like LHR and JFK.

Of course not randomly on QR's side, but rather, as in how the planes are used on routes where a plane that capacity would be used efficiently, as opposed to being flown on one set route.
