I have not flown Q-suites on any aircraft, so I'd be keen to know - do you prefer J on the A380 to Q-suites on the A350?
I love the A380 J product because of the A380 being whisper quiet, amazing air quality and humidity levels, lower altitude cabin pressure, room to walk around and of course the bar to mingle when you cant sleep, don't want to watch a movie and couldn't possibly fit anything else in to order from the menu! I get off that plane feeling like I've not flown despite the 15 hrs I've just been in it.
The A351 is more private in J, great atmospherics as well and almost as quiet as the A380. Seat comfort/sleep wise the same. In all honesty however it feels like any other new plane..just doesn't have that A380 magic feel of flying in style.

I see - that's good to know. Thanks for the feedback! Just can't wait to be able to fly freely again.
