Perhaps it’s because I’m a prude yankee, but anytime I’m in a Nordic sauna, Russian bathhouse, or japanese onsen, I just get hella creeped out and uncomfortable by all the men that seem to be perfectly cool chilling in their birthday suits; in a way totally defeating the purpose of visiting said sauna :(. But regardless, as others have said, a business class cabin is not a sauna (although one might be forgiven in thinking that with the temperatures some Asian carriers keep their cabins at), hence it’s best to have a modicum of humility and keep the changing to the lavs. This is QR after all and not hooters air ��

The problem with using the toilets is urine on the floor. It takes a degree in balance and contortion to do so without contaminating the pjs or, worse, one’s trousers.

So, first flight in Qsuites coming up. Normally change in the bathroom. Is it okay to change in your Qsuites??

I was just on a few flights in Q Suites. The flight attendants when handing out the pyjamas directed me to change in the bathroom if I wanted to use them. I would imagine changing in your suite is not a good idea

Qsuites - changing etiquette
There are these marvelous clothing options you can use when flying... basically they’re sweat pants that look like real slacks. You can be comfortable and business casual dress at the same time. They’re comfy for sleeping too. Changing on a plane, even in international first class, is just an awful idea and never goes well. The bathroom is too small to move in, and don’t think the floors are really clean... and changing in the aisle where people can see you in your undies — just don’t.

Pajama etiquette
I've flown QSuite and it's great. The pajamas are also very comfortable and stylish for plus size pax. I personally changed in the restroom because passengers/staff were always walking in the aisles.
|
Here's how I manage pajama etiquette in Qsuites - 2 strategies:
1. board wearing a skirt (men could try a kilt) and once inside one's Qsuite, pull up the PJ bottoms, then ditch the skirt. Just like changing on the beach. Then tunnel under the purple blanket and change one's top under there. 2. less elegant and more cumbersome, bring PJs from a previous QR flight in handbaggage, change in the showers or restrooms in the lounge before boarding, and then save the new PJs (which will be offered shortly after one boards) for the next QR flight. |
I generally use the bathroom, but several times I've just covered myself with the blanket and swapped out of the jeans and into the PJ's, or vice versa. Commando works just fine if you are fully covered.
Then again, there have been times when I've been traveling an insane amount and am not offered PJ's and I don't want to sleep in my pants so I just go naked under the blanket. No one knows. No one cares. |

I didn't think Qatar or any other decent airline (especially in a premium cabin) allowed the toilets to get to that state.

Out of interest, what is your opinion on toilet cubicles in the USA, which seem to have massive gaps all around, and can often lead to unwanted eye contact?

You can tell this thread just made Talkmail. ;)

Oh, I have seen this on EK F, but not business class.

As a mild germophobe, there is no way I would change in an airplane bathroom, and risk my feet or clothes touching the dirty (and often wet) floor. Besides, there is insufficient space in the bathroom to comfortably change, no place to put your street clothes, etc. I always grab the free jammies on international flights, but never actually wear them on the plane. I just take them to wear at home. However, the Qsuites are quite spacious, and the privacy walls are over 4' tall, so you could discretely change while seated in your private suite.

Hah, the photoshopped pictures on Qatar website seem to show the door being about 2 feet higher than a normal human's head.
