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!

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

Would I be correct in saying LHR currently has 3x Qsuite services? The A351, 359 and the 777? (QR1/2, 7/8, 15/16)

I was delighted to discover this on Saturday whilst checking my booking! They had moved me well back but a phone call got me and a friend into a two in the centre - row 3. Very excited, I honestly never expected that.

From reports in this thread, some people on some Qsuite flights are able to book center seats and some are not.

I don't know if you solve this yet but I called the Irish phone number and got someone really helpful who opened up all the centre seats for me so I had the choice of all of them. Good luck!

I booked the exact same QR8 LHR-DOH flight on a different date, and for that flight I'm able to pick two middle seats for the two of us, but my original booking the middle seats still show blocked and no agent was able to release them for us (and I've tried phone agents, airport check-in agents, airport sales agents, AUH first class lounge agents, and the first class lounge agent even called multiple people).

What time of day did you call the Irish number? Couldn't hurt to try.

I’m booked for amsterdam to Doha for August. Currently scheduled as the old non Qsuites.

However i am aware that last few weeks a7-bed and one other with Qsuites has been flying the route for a few days a week.

i know no one knows for sure but surely by August the ams-doh route should be furnished with Qsuites permanently.

any input would be great.

Anyone know of any changes to QSuites service to/from IAD later in the year? After 28 October, seat maps on ExpertFlyer revert to old-config 77W into the new year. I know equip swaps are always possible, but with IAD an advertised route, I was surprised to see the change. Maybe an issue with EF?

I have a J flight booked for July 4th DOH - PVG and the return a few weeks later, but neither seat map has been updated to QSuites. Any reason why this might be the case?

Thanks!

I know it's a big secret, or it might be that Qatar execs haven't even settled on the future routes yet. But is there a rough estimate on the number of new flights that will have Q Suites introduced in 2018?
