Adelaide No More QSuites from December?

[Spizz]

I just saw this article-

This business class is the benchmark for all others. Is it worth it?

Equipped with a sliding door and a do-not-disturb sign, Qatar Airways’ flagship business class seat almost makes the 14-hour flight feel too short, for a price.

Adelaide is currently an all-suite service, but will drop off that esteemed list in December 2025.

Is this indefinite? And for both flights from Adelaide?

QR989 does that cease in December when it switches to Canberra?

No, there are short patches where it is non QSuites but as far as I’m aware the QSuites will still be regular to ADL

Yes

You can change to a QSuites flight without penalty. May be neither convenient or available of course.

The email offered a free change of date , sadly I couldnt extend our trip , our flight to JFK is still in QSuites so fingers crossed we dont get another email

Data point: I made an Avios booking with QSuites from DOH to ADL in August for 28th December that that has now been swapped out for a non-QSuite plane. As I have to be back at work on 30th December I could not take advantage of their offer to rebook on a QSuite flight on 29th December.

It's sad to see Adelaide go from being the best served city by QR in Australia to an afterthought as it is for so many other airlines.
