These will be fully-enclosed suites with direct aisle access. The 777-300ER was the first plane to feature. Sep 03, 2018 Despite the variety of planes in Qatar’s fleet, the business-class seats can essentially be split into 3 groups: Shiny new Qsuites, comfortable reverse herringbone seats and everything else. The rest of Qatar’s fleet — 777s that haven’t been retrofitted with Qsuites, Airbus A330s and A340s — all feature a 2-2-2 business class.

Qatar Airways currently has 48 Boeing 777-300ER in its fleet. The new/refit aircraft feature 48 Qatar Business Class seats which are dubbed “Qsuites” in a 1-2-1 layout split across 2 cabins, as well as 312 seats in Economy in a 3-4-3 configuration. My aircraft, A7-BEN, was delivered factory-fresh with the new Qsuites in December 2017. Qatar Airways is operating the Boeing 777-300ER on a variety of long-haul destinations. There are three versions of the B777-300ER, both with only two classes of service where all Business Class seats feature 180 degree recline. Qatar Airways takes endless care to anticipate the needs of our passengers, so each of your needs are attended to. Stay refreshed with a luxurious selection of amenities from Italy’s Castello Monte Vibiano Vecchio, including lip balm, hydrating facial mist and anti-ageing moisturiser cream.

First version of Boeing 777-300 is the most common among three versions. It is used on long distance flights.

This airplane offers 358 seats of two classes: business and economy.

Business class seats are located in the first 7 rows of the airplane divided into two sections.

First sections consists of 4 rows of flat bed seats that have 2-2-2 configuration. Proximity of the galleys and lavatories is the main disadvantage of the seats of the 1st and 4th row. Missing windows make the seats 4A and 4K bad seats.

Behind the exit row the second section of business class seats is located. There are totally 18 seats here. The noise from the galleys and lavatories located in front will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats of the 5th row. The seats 7E and 7F may be also noisy due to the bassinet location behind.

Economy class may accommodate 316 passengers. The seats of the economy class are located in three sections divided from each other with exit rows. Most of the seats here have 3-4-3 configuration. Due to entertainment equipment stored under A, D and K seats these seats have less storage and legroom room underneath.

First sections has 7 rows of seats. Passengers of the seats of the 10th row will take advantage of extra space for their legs. However the tray tables are built-in the armrests making them immovable and thus reducing the width of these seats. Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats. Passengers travelling with infants are often seated on the seats 10EFG as they offer bassinet locations.

The seats 12A and 12K have no windows.

The seat 12D is considered good seat as it offers extra legroom due to missing seat in front.

Due to missing seats behind the seats 16C and 16H are often bumped by service carts and passengers passing by. Limited recline and proximity of the lavatories are the main disadvantages of the seats of the 17th row.

The second section of economy class seats consists of 12 rows. Due to the exit row located in front the seats of the 18th row have extra legroom. Among disadvantages of these seats: reduced width, lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and close location of the galleys and lavatories in front. In addition the seats 18A and 18K have no windows but the seats 18EFG have bassinet locations.

As there is no seat in front passengers of the seat 20D will take advantage of extra legroom.

Location of the lavatories and galleys behind and restricted legroom will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats of the 29th row.

The third section of economy class seats includes 14 rows of seats. The seats 30ABC and 30HJK have additional space for passengers’ legs but the seats 30EFG on the contrary have less legroom. Passengers tend to congregate in the area of the seats of the 30th row in order to visit lavatories and thus causing discomfort to passengers of these seats. Also, these seats are narrower than standard and have no floor storage during take-off and landing. Passengers with babies are often seated on the seats 30EFG.

The seat 32D offers extra legroom.

As there are no seats behind the seats 42C and 42H are often bumped by other passengers and crew members passing by.

Limited recline and location of the galleys and lavatories behind make the seats of the 43rd row bad seats.

This version of Boeing 777-300 may transport 412 passengers in two classes: business and economy.

Business class may accommodate 24 passengers. The seats of business class are located in 4 rows that have 2-2-2 configuration.

Close location of the galley and lavatory will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats of the 1st row. Noise from the galleys located behind will also represent problem to passengers of the seats of the 4th row. Lack of windows makes the seats 4A and 4K bad seats.

Economy class consists of 388 standard seats divided into three sections.

All A, D and K seats of the economy class have less legroom and under-seat storage room as entertainment equipment is stored there.

First section contains 14 rows of seats: 13 of them have 3-4-3 configuration and 1 row with seats that have 3-3-3 configuration. The seats of the 10th row have limited legroom, are a little narrower than standard and have no floor storage during take-off and landing. Passengers travelling with babies are often seated on the seats 10EFG as they have bassinet locations.

12D seat is considered good seat as it has extra space for passenger’s legs.

Missing windows is the main disadvantage of the seats 17A and 17K.

Location of the galleys and lavatories behind is the disadvantage of the seats 23C and 23H as well as the fact that these seats are often bumped by service carts and other passengers passing by.

The seats of the 24th row are less reclining than standard and are located close to the galleys and lavatories.

Behind the exit row the 2nd section of economy class seats is located. There are 12 rows of seats here: 11 of them have 3-4-3 configuration and 1 row has 3-3-3 configuration.

Thanks to the exit row located in front the seats of the 25th row have extra space for passengers’ legs. However, as the tray tables are in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little. Also these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing. Other passengers tend to gather in the area of these while waiting to use lavatories causing discomfort to passengers of these seats. For passengers with infants the seats 25EFG have bassinet locations.

Passengers of the seat 27D will take advantage of extra legroom.

Because of the bulkhead located behind the seats of the 36th row are less reclining than standard. Location of the galley and lavatory behind is another disadvantage of these seats.

Qatar 777 Business Seats

Airbus A380, Airbus A350-900 and 787-8

The First Class product on Qatar Airways is unique on their Airbus A380s. There are 8 seats on the Airbus A380 arranged in a 1x2x1 configuration, with a divider between the middle seats in the center of the cabin. The seat measures 23 inches wide and comes with an 83-inch pitch. It is not an enclosed suite, however. While the product has great reviews, it appears that it doesn’t offer much more than its Business Class product already does. There are also no showers offered on the Qatar Airways Airbus A380, which is a unique feature that its primary competitors, Emirates and Etihad Airways, offer to their First Class guests. There is, however, an onboard bar that Business Class customers can use on the Airbus A380.

The Business Class seats on Qatar’s Airbus A380s feature the “Super Diamond” B/E Aerospace seat arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration, reverse-herringbone style. These seats are also on the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787-8, as Qatar does not offer First Class on either of these two aircraft. The Business Class hard product is relatively consistent across the Airbus A380, Airbus A350 and 787-8, with a seat width of ~22 inches and a pitch of ~50 inches. When fully extended, the bed goes out to ~80 inches for the A380 and A350 and ~77 inches for the 787.

Boeing 777-300 ER (Version 1) and Boeing 777-200LR

This seat features the B/E Aerospace MiniPod product, which was considered revolutionary back in the mid-2000s. It is now largely obsolete given that customers prefer all-aisle access seating and these are designed to be in a 2x2x2 configuration on the 777s. These seats will gradually be replaced by the Qsuites in the coming years. It currently measures 21.8 in width x 78 inches when fully extended, which is also the length of the seat pitch.

Boeing 777-300 ER (Version 2)

In March 2017, Qatar revealed their new business class product which they’re calling Qsuites. These will be fully-enclosed suites with direct aisle access. The 777-300ER was the first plane to feature the new Qsuites, and all 777s and A350s will eventually receive it. The carrier has stated that the 787s and A380s will feature a modified version of the product. Only a limited number of Qatar’s 777-300ERs feature the Qsuites, which are presently flying from Doha to London Heathrow and New York JFK.

The biggest selling point of the Qsuite is its versatility: it can either function as an individual suite (with a sliding door), a communal space for workers or friends to co-mingle thanks to retracting privacy dividers, or it can double as a romantic bed for two if the couple is traveling together. More information can be found by clicking on this YouTube page.

Airbus A340-600, Airbus A330-300, and Airbus A330-200

Qatar offers First Class on each of these aircraft, although these planes will eventually be replaced by newer Boeing and Airbus variants. The First Class seat on these planes feature the MiniPod seat on the Business Class of the 777-300ER, but with a little extra room, a privacy divider and an ottoman.

The Business Class seat varies between the B/E Aerospace Diamond seat and the older-generation MiniPod product, depending on whether or not the plane has been retrofitted.

Future Fleet

Qatar Airways also has ordered the following aircraft:

• 30 787-9s
• 12 777-300ERs
• 10 777-8s
• 50 777-9s
• 24 Airbus A350-900s
• 37 Airbus A350-1000s
• 2 Airbus A380-800s

It has yet to be announced what Qatar will be using on the 787-9s, Airbus A350-1000s and 777-8/9 planes, but presumably, the Qsuites will arrive on those as well.

There is a helpful Qatar Airways Guide FlyerTalk thread that keeps tabs of the major updates to the Qatar Airways’ fleet based on aircraft registration. As the retrofits continue, it would be helpful to refer to this site often to be able to see which aircraft feature the new products as they are deployed, particularly if you know your registration in advance.
