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!
Qatar Airways confirms new business class seatA video of the new Q Suite can be seen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yhZDsctiZg
Photos of the new Q Suite can be seen here - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28007634-post109.html
From TGFlyerGirl:
there are some quite complex rules entries around seat selection - but in essence, solo travellers as a guideline won't be assigned QUADS (they are blocked off), and it's generally for 3/4 pax families. Once a QUAD has been broken up (out of necessity - for example with a couple in the E/F seats), then the rest of the quad is unlocked and can be filled with individual travellers.
They've also made 1A/2B last offered to allow airport flexibility to handle last minute requests. The other 18 windows and aisles are free for reservation as per the normal process.
The bassinet position is 11B/J (77W) and 8B/J (A359), reduced mobility seats are 2/4/6/9 B and J.
All A/E/F/K's are backward facing, all B,D,G,J's are forward facing. Total 20 Forward/22 Backward.
Capacity:
77W: J42/Y312
High density 77W: J24/Y388
77L: J42/Y230
35K: J46/Y281
359: J36/Y247

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.

Any news on the Amsterdam route? I know back in April they flew the qsuites for around a week or so on this route. Obviously it was nothing permanent.
Would be good to hear if anyone has any insight into it becoming a regular thing or is it just pot luck right now if they schedule something in one week. Traveling this route in August. Fingers crossed I get lucky. Although I actually still quite like the old 777 business class. A lot of room and to me feels as good as if not better than 787 business class. Maybe I'm alone on this?

My AMS-Doha flight in October has been moved to Qsuites, Mrs E2S and I have been moved from the centre pair to the window. If it stays like that, I would not be unhappy. The return is still the normal sears

I hope they do this in August too. Wonder if it’s become permanent after October.

I'm very pleased to see my flight in October from CBR to DOH has become QSuites. It will be my first experience of these seats, and on a long flight too.

Anybody know how soon before the flight they can do this or can they change aircraft right up until a day before?

How do you find out if they have changed the aircraft to the new qsuite a other than on expert flyer seat map? As in do Qatar email you much in the same way they do if the time of the flight changes?

QR seems to be less than others at notifying flyers of plane changes.

I have just noticed that my DOH - BKK flight has changed to a 777P with Q Suites. That made me happy but the I also saw my MCT - DOH flight changed to an A350. If it sticks this is one very happy bunny.
