mohammedgiga welcome to Flyertalk and especially to the QR forum. You will find the QR dashboard a useful tool
You will find a wealth of information about Qsuites on the https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qata...ess-class.html thread including where there are Qsuites allocated at the moment. There are seven aircraft fitted with Qsuites at the moment and they are employed on to CDG, JFK, IAD, ICN and LHR. One per day to each destination.
At least two further aircraft are due to be delivered in the next few months but beyond that no one knows.
So in answer to your question there is only a small chance that HKG will have Qsuites fitted aircraft by September. But as I have already said no one knows for sure!

woodwoodwood so do I! It would solve a lot of problems for me. But we can only hope! It would certainly make sense since HKG is very much a Business class destination and the 35X has that capacity.

woodwoodwood I can understand your confusion. But QR appear too have a J capacity problem with HKG and are using the largest J capacity aircraft that is possible. The 35X appears to have both a larger capacity and Qsuites but has not yet been delivered. Another, although rather weak, reason is that is could be easier to substitute a Qsuites 777 when there are any available.
This is a capacity versus comfort dilemma!

However there’s not a lot fundamentally wrong with QR’s 777 J cabin - and solo travellers can always opt for one of the middle pair of seats (I agree that one of the window/aisle pair is less satisfactory).

330/340/777 - one of middle pair
350/380/787 - single window seat
319 - whatever’s available
(they’re the only QR aircraft I have experience of)
