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!

Both Qatar seat selection & Expertflyer show all Quad seats are blocked.
How or When can we select "couple" seats?. Thanks!

just call the phone number written at the bottom of the seat selections page.

Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but I want to make sure I get this right. Four of us on a single PNR are trying to get seats on 77L. Qatar's website appears to shows the quad as 3EF and 4DG. Seatguru has the 77W seatmap (no Qsuites 77L) with the quad as 2DE and 3EF because the first row isn't part of the quad. So, 3EF/4DG is the correct one right? Thanks!

In a non-Qsuites 777L, the seats are all forward-facing 2-2-2, so no quad:

In a Qsuites 77L, the center seats alternate forward and backward facing, with each set comprising a quad:

Ahh, ok, I see what you mean. Sorry, my question wasn't completely clear. I've picked 3EF and 4DG and I was worried that I picked the half of one quad and half the other quad (like picking 2DG and 3EF) but I was clearly confused. Thanks!

When you wrote "Seatguru has the 77W seatmap (no Qsuites 77L)" I interpreted that to mean that you were looking at your flight in SeatGuru and it was showing a non-Qsuites configuration. At any rate, glad to help, and enjoy your flight!

Has anyone had any experience of being a solo traveller and requesting the middle seats, hoping no one sits next to you, then having a double bed?

I've you read this thread, you will see many posts confirming that there is a divider between the EF seats that can be raised. (The DG seats also have a divider, but do not form a double bed.) Note that even with the divider, your heads will be next to each other, so snoring could be an issue.

Thanks. I'm aware of the divider, I was more interested whether anyone had luck with getting the middle pair as a solo traveller. Thanks though

Um, OK. I don't see how the fact of anyone previously having or not having the two center seats to themselves would have any bearing on you doing the same. If you want to try for it, my suggestion would be to pick a route with historically low loads, and use EF to check J inventory for a period of time, and pick a seat in the second J cabin, near the back.

By the way, the EF pair don't actually form a double bed, because there is a gap between the seats. But you still get the full double suite.

It’s on its way to AKL right now, which means we unexpectedly have Q Suites for our AKL-DOH flight tomorrow!

The FAs brought out, without prompting, a long narrow pad that filled the gap.

I know that I've said this before (waaaay upthread), but don't forget that eventually all QR long haul aircraft will be equipped with QSuites, except possibly the 380s, -- I'm not sure about them. So while you may not get to try them on your next flight, you will eventually. I don't know what the conversion rate is right now, but it does continue.
