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!

All show the same thing. If you have an EF subscription, you can set an "Aircraft Change" alert that will notify you if the plane type or seat configuration changes. (Be sure to reset the alert each time it notifies you, as further changes are likely with QR.)

Yes, I already have alerts set (and reactivated). I was just wondering what my chances are of seeing more changes.

Pretty high, in my experience. Late last year I had a DOH-ARN flight that switched back and forth between Qsuite and non-Qsuite over and over and over, right up until the date of departure. What's funny is that I connected CBR-DOH and when I checked in for CBR-DOH-ARN, the agent said I'd have Qsuite on both flights for sure. Ha!

I know speculation is a waste of effort here but if the 77L conversion is picking up pace can anyone provide insight on the likelihood of full conversion by July? AKL-DOH is obviously a good shot with 7 of 9 converted but I'm not really in the loop regarding whether they plan to use the last two for that route specifically or just wholesale convert the fleet.

Need advice! Which Qsuite quad would you go for - row 1, 3 or 5 on the A350?

There are only 9 rows on the flight, not 12. I think the A350-1000 has 12 but the A350-900 has 9

Ah don’t tell me that!!! It’s the DOH MLE route. EF recently changed them back to Qsuites but it is a route that says on QR’s website that it has Qsuites .... they were QSuites a few months ago, then changed to non Qs then changed back.
