In addition to routes, destinations and aircraft, we now offer you information about past availability on specific flights. In order to do this, we check the history of deployed airplanes using data from flightaware.com. These numbers are updated weekly.

Past Qsuite availability percentage is displayed for every flight. It is updated weekly, based on data retrieved from flightaware.com. To achieve this, we check which airplanes were deployed on specific routes and compare their registry to our index of Qsuite fitted aircraft. While this is sufficient to get an idea how high the rate of Qsuite equipped aircraft has been over the past seven days, it is not suited to make any predictions about the upcoming months. You can get further information by hovering your cursor over the numbers.

Since Qatar Airways uses its retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER predominantly on the routes mentioned above, chances are higher than 69% on these. Therefore, chances are much lower on routes operated by 777-300ER, but unmentioned in this article.

Qatar Airways first introduced the Qsuite on its Boeing 777-300ER fleet. QR operates more Boeing 777-300ER than any other type of aircraft. Therefore, there are more 777-300ER equipped with Qsuites than other plane types combined. Per aircraft are 42 or 24 seats available in the business class cabin.

The introduction of Qsuites does not go as smooth and quickly as planned. Because of this, Qatar Airways is too often unable to reassure passengers whether Qsuites will be available or not. The replacement of flight equipment and a resulting change of Business Class product happens too often, and mostly without notice.

Brisbane seems to be a new QSuite Route. I just booked an award from Frankfurt for August. I checked the flights of the last days in flight radar and all planes flying this route were equipped with QSuite.

Am going to be flying from Chicago ORD to Doha in July 2021. Qatar presently shows Q suites from an A350 but goes back to the old business class seats in the 777-300 starting in February 2021. Do you know why? Do you think the ORD-DOH route might get the new retrofitted Q suites next year or the seat set up they show will probably be what I will get?

Hi Felix, although not advertised on their website, on Monday 30th March, Qatar Airways started Qsuite service to their new destination in Australia: Brisbane, QR912/913. Service to Adelaide was canceled. I do not know if destination Brisbane will be offered only temporarily and if the discontinued service to Adelaide will be restarted.

Hi Richard!
Thanks for the information, I will keep an eye on that. Due to the current Covid-19 situation, we will be updating this article later this year. Since so many flights are cancelled or changed, our probabilities are currently as useful as a spear made out of chocolate.

Q- Suite on QR171/2 ARN is a real lottery, because one day a 350-900 will turn up without Q-Suites, the second day a 350- 1000 will turn up with Q-Suites and then on the third day a 777-300 with old style seats will turn up. These changes are very last minute so no chance of contacting Qatar and requesting alternatives. Assume Check-in is also a nightmare especially when a family had a quad together. Couples on board would not be happy either, because often separated. I can fully understand the odd aircraft change, but this kind of policy is unfair and
detrimental to their passengers.

Hi Felix, I notice QR is flying a Qsuites equipped B777-300 on the DOH-DPS route QR962/963 as of 1 December. They also changed equipment on the QR960/961 route that same day. This service is now operated by a B788 Dreamliner. I booked QR962 in June 2020 but did not see my seat map change to Qsuites yet. Do you know if this route will be served with a Qsuites equipped aircraft in 2020?

Hi Felix, my flight from TXL to DOH was in Qsuites after all, in a A350-900. QR81/82 I flew in, had the smallest Qsuite cabin, only 6 rows. Due to the configuration, forward facing seats offer much more privacy than backward facing Qsuites.

I am flying from DOH back to ATL on 9/30 and my aircarft was just switched from A350-900s to B777-200LR. Map configuration is for the old aircraft but I find it interesting that all of the side seats (2 on the left and 2 on the right) only have one seat available and they moved me to the middle with my toddler, while on A350-900s I booked one seat in the middle and one seat by the window (A350-900s does not have a good access to adjacent seat in the middle). I hope this will end up to being a reconfigured aircraft and we get to experience QSuite as the old B777-200LR is pretty underwhelming.

Hi Felix, I booked from Madrid to Bangkok via Doha in may 2020, Qatar said flight 833 will have qsuite, since they do not fly to Madrid with the new business class at least I booked this on flight out of 4 to enjoy the new product but now even this flight is old business class.
Do you think in may 2020 i can be lucky and fly the new qsuite on flight 833 to bangkok or perhaps from doha to madrid on 777 and 350? Thanks!

Hi Patrick!
Unfortunately, I can see into the future just about as well as you. Since QR833 is currently operated with 77W, your chances defintely increase as more and more of these planes get retrofitted. But since neither BKK nor MAD are business heavy destinations, QR surely does not prioritize them in their Qsuite scheduling.

Qatar are changing their a350 qr914/915 doh to adl as of the sixth of Sept to the 30th of Sept. Online seat selection has a B777-300er qsuite configured seat layout. Will be flying these flights 07/09 & 23/09 will report back if equipment gets changed to their standard business class.

Hi. On Qatars website it shows MXP DOH flights 118 and 124 as Qsuites flights. I precisely booked 118 and got no qsuites in the seating map. Anyway read a lot about people getting qsuites in the last moment in that particular flight so I will keep my hope. Anyway have 2 guaranteed qsuites in flight to Singapur and flight home to Buenos Aires. And will be crossing fingers until I get to Milan.
