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 seat

A 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

Which routes have Qsuites?
Details and changes can be found in the various recent threads.

As to other routes NO ONE KNOWS!

I repeat NO ONE KNOWS!! so do not ask!

1) October is still far away. Expect 1 (or more) changes to your flight
2) The QSuites on that route may only be temporary

My QR8 on the 2nd March just changed seatmap to a standard 777, extremely disappointed :-(
Any chance it will revert to Qsuites?

Mrs and I flying DOH > ORD on 20May. New seat map for Q-Suites has been posted for flt, but not available to choose any of the quad seats online. Called Rez line, and told "all under airport control" Ughhh. I've heard rumor that you can chose them on line ORD>DOH. No personal experience

Just booked their 10% off fares today from ORD to JNB (Visa card promo) and was happy to see Q-Suites for DOH-ORD for early october...though late september flight from ORD to DOH was 'old' biz. Any idea if/when they might q-suite DOH-JNB?

same thing with my booking....the center seats are all blocked. I suspect they might wait to see if groups of 4 book seats? or corporate travel?

Quads are blocked for parties of 3 or 4.

Smile Why is BLR-DOH-BLR showing Qsuites this week in seatmap

Hi,
My brother is flying BLR - DOH - BLR and i was doing seat selection for him and its showing Qsuite map when I go for seat selection (or so I think).
Flight QR573 from BLR - DOH on Sun, March 4.
Flight QR572 from DOH - BLR on Wed, March 7.
I went to check seatmap in Expertflyer and seeing the same thing. I thought Qsuites is only on DOH - LHR/CDG/JFK/IAD. How did BLR get Qsuites and am I misreading it.
If true, really excited for my brother.

Officially, yes, but they will always end up flying elsewhere between QSuite only routes. It is just impossible to predict so your brother is lucky

There are some exceptions. If all window-side seats are assigned or blocked, QR reservations can unlock quads for single travelers.

Also, some TA's can get them unblocked. My corporate TA has done this for me several times, so I could try to luck into a double bed.
