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!

Out of curiousity: I just noticed that the Q-Suites A359 has an odd number of rows - does that mean that the seats in Row 9 have extra storages due to the unused footwell areas which would otherwise be Row 10?

And in any caste you can get out of the seat without having to climb over anybody. I seriously like the space in their 777s..giving you 3 windows.

That's a personal choice. Having flown the 2-2-2 configuration several times in the past 5 years and then 3 flights in QSuite last month, i am in love with QSuite. I had a 14 hour flight from Doha to Washington on 01/29 and wished i had few more hours. Of course the awesome cabin crew on flight QR707 had a lot to do with it but the privacy and comfort provided by the QSuite was unmatched. For me, everything else seems ordinary as compared to QSuite.

We’re heading off on honeymoon on Monday. MAN-DOH-PEN in Business. No QSuites, but old 77W, then three 787s. Glad it’s that way round. The old 2-2-2 seems the weakest seat, so good to have that first.

Hey thought i'd throw my view in the melting pot too.

Recently I flew my first ever QR flights. CWL -> DOH - JNB -> DOH -> FRA. I have flew probably all Skyteam and *A but up until this year, never really flown any OW.

Anyway...

QR 2-2-2 is eh... mediocre, nothing terrible nothing great.

But to be honest...the Q Suites were fantastic, I don't have a single negative to say! It was quite simply the best J class I ever flew. The staff on all 4 of my flights were also great. It was very impressive. I look forward to flying them again next week.

Just to report back - even thought this seat map showed up until right before the flight, I ended up on a 777 with four rows in a 2-2-2 configuration. Don't know if the seat map was a glitch or I was the subject of a last minute sub, but the flight and crew were fantastic in any case.

I just booked a TRV-DOH-LHR flight for December with Q-suites on the DOH-LHR leg. Any chance aircraft assignments this far out will stick, or should I not count my chickens yet?

Hey all, I asked this a while ago but didn’t get any answers - any ideas? Thanks.

On the Qatar website, it mentions Maldives as one of the routes with Qsuites. A few weeks back, I was checking Expert Flyer’s seat maps and it was showing Qsuites, however that has now changed and it is only showing Qsuites up until the end of March on the DOH - MLE route. From April onwards, it is showing no Qsuites.

Any thoughts on why this has happened? Or is it just because they are working on their summer schedule so they’ve moved planes around temporarily?

THE LHR route is fairly consistent re suites

Coming back on 29th, not so lucky as it was the regular 77W. But we had our next flight from Doha to Washington in QSuites to look forward to so not too bad.

i am not sure. I can tell you that I’ve been keeping an eye on my flight from DOH to MLE coming up in July since last September. It started out as non-qsuites, then went to qsuites and now flipped back to no qsuites. Hoping it flips back once again- but should enjoy the qsuites from ORD to DOH
