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!

DOH-LAX Q Suite Start Date?

We will be flying DOH-LAX on Oct 8th. Anyone think the Q Suites would be operational by then?

Somehow I felt it differently at my recent flights on Qsuite A350. The rear-facing one is less comfortable than forwad facing one, where the latter seem to be more parallel to the horizontal. I have no objective figures to provide but that's just my feeling to share.

QR59 DOH-MUC mid August changed from LATAM A350 to 777 with Q Suite

So I will get (nearly) every aircraft type of QR fleet ... A380 (with the bar

), 777 (I like the old 2-2-2), A350 and 777 Q Suite

hi folks, i have a question about seating.

my doh-bom part of my trip is assigned the Qsuites plane now.

as a solo traveler are the rear facing seats A/K better than the front facing B/G ?

also what is your opinion of row 6 B/G .. i have been automatically assigned 6G

thank you

I’ve just seen that our flight to BKK in september has changed to Qsuites. There are theee of us travelling on 2 bookings. If we can get a quad will we be able to open up half of the quad or will that disrupt the fourth seat in the quad too much so they won’t allow us to do this? Any guidance would be great.

Bah, we are a family of 4 travelling on 830 June 23rd and I see on expertflyer that from the very next day Qsuites are available.
Booked the flight with a tiny little hope that we might get the Qsuites, but alas. However flight chosen due to arrival time in BKK and at least that haven't changed (knock on wood)

Can people in the know say if the 773 Q suite going on DOH BKK Route a refurb or brand new!! Just curious as to how the refurb 773 program is going!! My DOH BKK flight also a 773 but different number to the one mentioned above!! Four or five (depending on the day) 773 services on this route daily.

Notwithstanding QR’s habit of changing aircraft types, I seem to have hit the jackpot with my promo biz fare from LHR to HKG return in October. The DOH - HKG leg and vice versa have just been changed to a Q suite 777 (seated 3K both sectors). Coupled with the fact that I get to experience the A380 bar ex LHR (seated 11K) and the DOH-LHR sector (QR001) also being a Q suite A359 (seated 3K), I think things have turned out pretty well. Not bad for GBP1,413 all in.
