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!

The convention is to shorten, say, a Boeing 787-900 to B789; but that does not work when it's a -1000. So G ("grand") is used instead.

Apologies, I meant to write A35K. A35K is the ICAO designation for the A350-1000, though I believe QR refers to this type as the 351. 35G is what CX calls their A350-900.

Not confusing at all, right?

Sorry to hear that your aircraft was switched, I hope you got to experience the QSuites & let us know how it was.
I'm traveling on QR 668/669 next April & I just realized that it's on an Qsuites aircraft, either it was just updated recently or I must have not noticed it when I booked a few months ago.

Looks like 704 JFK-DOH was just changed to Q Suites (at least, for my flight in mid-November). Expert Flyer notified me of the change in seating config. They initially assigned us new seats on the side aisle near window. I was able to book the center seats for my husband and me online in "Manage My Booking".

QR2 out of LHR on Sunday has now changed to q suites, still an A350. At the moment there’s only rear facing quad seats, row 1, 7 or 9 (last row) available. Any benefits or negatives to choosing the first or last row, I’d rather have had window seats but they’re all gone.

edited: it doesn’t show it on the online seat map but ive found trip reports showing a larger and smaller cabin, so chosen row 7 in the smaller cabin.

Will finally get to try Q suites DOH-ORD in 3 weeks

Had the option of flying straight to LAX, but I routed through Chicago and bought a separate ticket to LA just to try Q suites so I hope it's worth it

ARN-DOH flight 172 (A350-900) has been updated to a Q-Suite seat-map effective Nov 11. I am flying Nov 16 and crossing fingers I get to try the new seats.

I sure hope so :/

Do you know how often the Qsuites are taken off the ORD route?

QSuite roulette is not really a thing on the routes on which it was officially launched...Not just for which it is sometimes randomly scheduled, but routes for which it is officially announced: LHR, JFK, IAD, ORD. The only way those routes would happen not to get QSuite products on the 77W is if a plane has to be taken out of service or for some other unforeseen operational reason.

This is nothing at all like scheduling a QSuite 77W for DOH-CMB and then swapping it out at the last minute.
