For an airline that's consistently rated the best in the world, Qatar Airways sure does have an outdated business class product on the 777, which is the backbone of their fleet. Don't get me wrong, the seats are perfectly comfortable, as they're in a 2-2-2 configuration and convert into fully flat beds. However, nowadays I…

@Lucky, Since you've tried to both the QSuites and the A350, is the QSuites significantly better?
I've flown the A350 a few times to Singapore and it's just like any other reverse herringbone seat except there's water holder.
I booked a flight in Nov in anticipation of Qsuites launching to JFK. I really hope it does, or I'm gonna have to pray for some sort of schedule or equipment swap from QR that'll let me change my flight. Hopefully get on QR 7 to LHR then on AA metal to JFK.
Any indication that this is some sort of middle finger snub to AA since QR is no longer looking at buying a stake? I mean, Miami is AA's hub on the East Coast and it's not beneath QR's illustrious leader to introduce a new route just to have the final word.
AdamR, they have had a Miami route for quite a while. As Lucky said, they're just subbing in an A350 for a 77W between September 1st and 30th.
@Lucky - The A350 flies out of Boston as well (As the other readers have mentioned)
@Cameron;
Totally missed that aspect. Apparently reading comprehension is not a strong suit of mine today. Thanks for the update.
This is great news as I'm MIA based and flying QA in September. I'll write a review of my flight and post it in my travel blog.
I have said it here before, I actually prefer their 777 biz class over their 787 or A350. I am 6'3" and feel a lot less cramped in their older 777 seats. I don't mind the 2x2x2 seating as long as I can get one of the 2 center seats.
What a shame! I will be missing this by a few days. My travel ends Aug 28th DOH to MIA.
Ben, just an update on this report, I am traveling MIA/DOH on 11/01/17 and my flight now shows being operated by the A350.
@Albino,
Seems like Qatar has extended this limited operation until the 14th of December, and the date keeps moving further and further. The last time I had checked, the A359 operated only till the 7th of December.
Hope to fly the A359 from Miami to Doha on the 17th of December 🙂
