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!

Hi all, new to forum here, booked a flight on QR8 LHR - DOH late this year for family of 4 of us.
Got our travel agent to lock in the Qsuite for all of us (row 1 & 2) on the 777.
Just wonder if QR decides to change flight (i.e. A350-1000), wonder will it also have Qsuite onboard?
Thanks

It's not the end of the world, just irritating as I was looking forward to my first Qsuites flight. I'm lucky enough to afford Business class for leisure, it could be a lot worse!

A7-ALU (QSuites equipped A359) is apparently doing customer acceptance flights.

Currently both LAX and IAH get the B777-200LR while DFW has the B777-300ER. If i remember correctly, AAB said that the 777LR will be refurbished last so I would aim for DFW.

Does anyone know (avg) how long they are taking to retrofit aircrafts? are they scaling the retrofitting once they get the know-how perfect?
I want to estimate how long they'll take to reach EZE, lol. I guess it will be one of the last routes to get them so..

Well... the current Qsuite is only going 77W/77L/A359/A35K, that gives us 135 aircraft, of which 74 currently in service and 61 orders.

The refit was announced nearly 18 months ago, so far we've got 10 aircraft. Based on that the retrofits will be compete in 18 years.

(All very rough maths

)

Also, the second A350-900 with QSuite has been delivered and is currently operating QR7/8. The third one should follow next week.
