Sitzplan Boeing 777-300ER (77W) Qsuite v1 Qatar Airways

The Q-Suite is an experience in itself but the crew service is equal to any first class. Nothing is too much trouble. Dine on demand is brilliant on these long-haul flights, enabling you to adjust your eating times to new time zones. The privacy doors allow a good, long sleep on the 16+ hour flight from Auckland to Doha. The mini-pillow is great as a lumbar support, neck pillow or tucking into a firm spot on the seat. Food options are light and delicious, and the drink options would satisfy most tastes. I strongly recommend the lime and mint refresher. The taste more than makes up for the strange shade of green. This has to be one of the best flying experiences in the world.

Impressed. I had read a lot about this product. What I actually experienced in terms of sheer comfort exceeded my expectations. Entertainment selection not so good

The Q suite in general is outstanding and is in my opinion the best business class product available. I have flown business on the Emirates A380 within the past year and was very satisfied with the comfort level and service, but the Q suite is even better. The arrangement of the storage and generous foot well allow for turning over easily and comfortable sleep in any position, and the ability to close the door and turn on a Do Not Disturb sign is a brilliant contribution. A couple reviews elsewhere have favored the rear-facing K seats over forward-facing J because there is a little more distance between the suite door and the aisle, but the door does a great job of ensuring that you won't be bumped by passengers or flight attendants heading to/from the galley or restrooms. I was able to sleep for about nine hours of the approximately thirteen hour flight from JFK to DOH and arrived with no jet lag whatsoever. Finally, while I traveled alone this time, there were a couple families of three to four who were able to be seated in a pod with privacy screens that could be lowered, which is a great touch if you have young children.

I previously posted this review against the 777-300 ER seat plan as there was no Q-suite seat plan for 777-300 ER last year. I flew Business Class on 2 December 2018 from Sydney to Doha and deliberately booked on the 777-300 ER, not my normal choice of aircraft, as I prefer the A380 for long haul, but I was desperate to try the Qsuite, which is yet to be fitted to the A380. Many of Qatars fleet of 777-300ER and 777-200LR have been fitted, but check seat maps and ask if you want to try it, which flights it is available on, because it is definitely worth it; better than many First Class products. Essentially Qsuite has a 1 - 2 - 1 configuration with 48 suites in Business Class. Suites alternate between forward and rear facing. Rows 1-6 are ahead of the front exit and rows 7 to 11 are behind the second entrance/exit door, so if you are in 1-6 you board separately and dont get disturbed, in 1-11 you still board first but then have all economy boarding through the door ahead of you and coming past. Until take off your sliding door to the suite is locked in the open position. I was in 11B which is a window, left hand side, forward facing and last row before economy class curtain divider. First the pod or suite itself. Simply outstanding, it really is like your own small room with ample bench space, large fold out table with several adjustments. One thing they got right now is the seat pitch, old business you always sat too high and slightly reclined which felt awkward and lifted your feet off the ground, this is flat and straight backed now. One thing I really liked now, is the seat doesn't have a leg extender anymore that raises you feet off the ground, instead the seat slides forward or backward to bring your legs closer to the feet rest. The leg extender always left your legs at an odd angle and still hanging down so no good for DVT on long flights. One thing I wont say I disliked but was a bit annoying, the main storage bin to the left under a cushion is well tucked away but a bit fiddly trying to get the lid open and closed. Then if you have stuff on top of the cushion and want to get into the bin, you have to move it all and the lid gets caught on the seat belt unless you lift it out of the way. But aside from that very comfortable and like a little oasis, especially with the sliding door that fully seals you in. The seat position itself in 11B, great view of the engine and wing leading edge and despite being near the economy divider curtain, it was ok, didn't notice anything. If you are one of these people though who really prefers no disturbance of curtain being drawn and closed or a family maybe behind you in economy with a young child, then get a seat further forward. The Qsuite though is outstanding and so much better than the old business pods which were still a great product, but now you sit lower and are enclosed and feel very private as you dont see everyone else now, the old seats you sat up very high and could see everyone. I only marked entertainment down slightly as the World Map on this flight was a version with less control than normal. Service as always impeccable on Qatar and staff exceptional in Business, but that has always been my experience in economy as well with them. I forgot the stewards name serving my section of about 6 people, but he was from Serbia had been with them 2 years, so if you read this, big thanks to you, your manner and service was above and beyond.

The rear-facing seat is something of a novelty, but no more or less comfortable for that. There is plenty of room - I am 193cm and could stretch out with no issues. The Superwifi is fast and provides good connectivity. The closing door is certainly useful, but not so high as to stop people in the aisle from looking over the top. Nevertheless, ambient noise is kept to a minimum. The shoulder/neck pad in the seat is quite hard - compared to the rest of the padding, which causes problems getting the right position for sleeping - I found that I had a shoulder ache when I awoke.

There is a missing windows. If the person in front of you leans back his seat you can hardly get a look out of the window. But it is comfortable to lean against the plane wall.

Sat in seat 8D and had an amazing flight from ARN-DOH. The Q-suite is just fantastic. I am 185 cm and had no problems laying down when seat was fully recined. The Q-suite has doors that can be shut so you have a lot of privace. Feels more like you are in first class.....

The Qsuite is a significant upgrade from the previous business class product. 1K is set next to the window so you have room between your seat and the aisle. Ambient noise from the gallery is limited and restrooms are located along the other aisle forward so no issues with noise and passengers gathering around this seat. I find the shoulder room to be somewhat limited when fully reclined but the foot well space is decent. The privacy door does an excellent job with providing an isolated peaceful flight. Overall, this is a well thought out business class seat with excellent features and comfort.
