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’m feeling left out with so many peoples flights changed to qsuites 777. My amsterdam to
doha flight in early August is still showing old 777.

checking everyday patiently waiting.

Fingers crossed

Hello all, any idea when MNL-DOH flights will get QSuites? I have a booking for early 2019 and am wondering about my chances...

I find it odd that so many are currently showing as q suites, I agree with others and think its some kind of ploy. Surely they cannot have that may aircraft already equipped with suites?

The number of Q-Suite offered routes looks correct to me - I don't see any shenanigans going on here from QR to try and suck people in.

There are currently 11 x B77W's, 2 x A359's, 1 x A35K and 1 B77L active in service with Q-Suites and multiple further deliveries to follow over the next few months from both Airbus and Boeing.

All looks fine to me.

But so many people are posting q suite routes/flights that the 15 planes you have mentioned surely wouldn't service all those routes. maybe they have several new planes ready in the next few months.

I'm on 833 BKK-DOH tomorrow night, originally in F on a 388. Just got an email telling me that equipment has been changed to a 77W. Disappointed as I had been looking forward to F in the QR 388, which I have enjoyed a number of times in the past. Was just getting ready to call QR to get my seat changed since I have been assigned to 1A in a 2-2-2 layout, which I hate. I want a center aisle.

Until.... I looked at the seat map on EF and found QSuites!

Edited to add: Just checked with QR on the phone. Yes, it's a QSuite 77W. Yessssssssssss!!!!

With more 77W and A350s being delivered, there will be better chances for more long-haul destinations to be served with Q-Suites.

would you want some sort of compensation/refund of the downgrade from F to J?

I believe only -ALY and -ALZ have the QSuite for the A359 fleet. Recent deliveries had the old J seat.

I had not realised there were any 77Ls with Quites. Do you think there is any chance this 1 might find its way into the Auckland route, even if just once to cover for another plane?

Second A35K (A7-ANB) is apparently ready for delivery.

How are you seeing two seat maps? On the QR Manage My Booking, QR cargo site, in EF, in SeatGuru, or ?? I've yet to see more than one seat map for a given flight on a given day.

Nor mine. Flying ARN-DOH-CBR // CBR-DOH-ARN in November. Would be nice to have Q-Suites on the long overnight flights.

Flying QR8 LHR-DOH in a week. Booked last year. Was originally in 3EF but mixup during ticketing caused flight to get dropped from our PNR for a couple of days. From then on, QR wouldn't assign us to center seats. Tried many call centers, lounge agents, airport agents, etc., but to no avail. A few days ago I noticed that 1EF and 3EF were now showing assigned rather than blocked on EF, so called and agent easily put us in 5EF. Disappointed that we couldn't get 3EF (5EF is close to the galley so may get more noise and likely gets served later than 3EF, while 1EF will likely lack overhead bins due to flight deck crew rest).
