Qatar Airways Super Business Q Suites

Looking at the photos in the news below, the new Q Suites looks very impressive, and is great for a family of 4!

I think QR have hit the nail on the head. Where they don't have F if they have these suites instead, bridging the gap between J and F, that's a winner.

I wonder how much space is saved by having rear facing seats in the mix and I'd QF should have considered that. I also wonder if QF should or could retrofit some doors like in this J.

I was most impressed on how a family of 4 can sit "together" and have a good time. I think this is a first time that a J design caters for 4 people sitting J "together".

They hyped up the product and it looks like they've come through. I can't wait to give it a try.

I hope not - I don't like suites with doors on aircraft (I also prefer quite low walls - I think QF's F suites on the A380 are ideal in that regard.)

Looks great, although I wonder if the compromise of 'feet down in a well' might be the weak point. Will only know when I try it

And 'Q Suites' . A certain CEO here in Oz may have choked on his weaties when he heard that!

Looks wonderful - with Qatar possibly flying out of Canberra next year we can hope we get something like this. I still went to Sydney on our last trip in order to fly F with SQ, but with a J like this I won't need to. Of course might take some time until Canberra gets anything like this, although if the flights route through Sydney we might. We might even get Qatar F (I can dream).

Looks great.

Re the foot wells. That's really no different to the current Qatar J (or many other J) seats.

For a couple, I think I'd still prefer the centre seats that are separated.

Finally, I think I read somewhere that they'll need to do something a little different on the A380 and 787s due to being a bit narrower.

For me though this is a winner. I thought the current Qatar J was best in class and this is clearly a step up.

So this will be the J competition to QF on the PER-LHR-PER route. A bit unfair of QR to install a decent long haul J seat.....

I look forward to sampling it in the future.

Very nice!

Now I wonder what to book for my next trip to LHR, go for QF sloppy J with zero privacy or this QR super J.

Hmmm decisions decisions...

I think you should be loyal to Qf and fly them regardless

I wonder if the upgrade schedule is one 359 and one 77W a month or one aircraft total per month?

(they have 13 359 and 34 77W according to the QR website)

Flyertalk thread is 14 pages long...

The double bed and/or 4 seats is innovative.

Am flying QR for the first time in Aug to BCN and was excited to be trying the "best in class" J when I learnt that flights from MEL change to a 380 in June and the flight to BCN a 787 from a 777. Guess I'll just have to enjoy the second best in class

Looks good. Would like to try it out - just have to find the award seats
