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!

I called Qatar airways, waited on hold, gave her the record locator, and she said *all* of the middle qsuites are blocked off for airport use. She said they are available, but there is *no way* to assign them until we arrive at the airport.

This sounds crazy to me. Can this possibly be true? it's a risk I really don't wan to take. Thanks.

Hm, when did ICN lose QSuites? I thought they were one of the first routes to get it but it looks like at least in May 2019 it’s back to an old 77W 2-2-2 layout.

Any thoughts on 1K vs 8K vs 10K for a solo traveller? This is on a daytime flight so not too concerned about galley noise but not keen on people hanging around my seat waiting for the loo etc - is that an issue in 1K?
Thanks

LOVE 8k, view of that massive engine and the wing! Never had any problem with "loowaiters", they are mostly behind the curtain, besides, you have a door now :-)
The loo in the middle galley is in my opinion bigger than the other ones.

When discussing specific seats and specific lavatories, it's probably best to clarify which type of plane, as the galleys and lavatories are arranged differently (and from reports there are differences in the Qsuites themselves).

I noticed that QR 980 (77W DOH-BKK) has been served by A7-BEB with Q-Suites in 3 of the last 4 days now. Before this was never a Q-Suite flight.
Since I'm on this flight in a few weeks from now, I guess I can have hope to get Q-Suites?

Just booked an award flight on QR1 for next week, which is currently being served by A359.
From looking at the history on Flight Radar, twice in the last week it was a non Q-Suite aircraft, so knowing my luck I'll get one of those days!

It is and I can't wait!
I noticed the other day my seat number changed and I called Qatar airlines and their online support team has confirmed Q-Suites.
I did not check the other planes or flights but I can confirm QR 744 (BOS to DOH) on the Boeing 777-300ER will have the new seats; FYI my flight date is October 6th, 2019.
Fortunately I was able to book the 2-rear facing seats for the double bed conversion with my wife.

Traveling on the A350-1000 in March, and I picked the center seats at row 11 - which is in the mini cabin behind the galley. Does anyone know if this is a good pick, as the bathroom seems to be just behind based on the seat map? I'm just mostly concerned about bathroom smells. But looks great for minimal foot traffic. Any other reco for 2 people on the A350-1000 would be greatly appreciated!

I saw today that our flight to MLE (674 on 10 December) has just changed from A350-1000 to A350-900, so no Qsuite by the looks of it....real shame as the family were really looking forward to it
