Qatar Airways is known for their modern fleet, and particularly for how much they invest in new aircraft types. A few years back Qatar Airways was the launch customer for the A350-900, and earlier this year the airline was the launch customer for the A350-1000, which is the larger version of the plane.

@ Lucky—any updates as to when QR will begin flying from SFO? This new bird seems like it would be a perfect fit for this route, no?

QR701 Doha to New York departing 8:15AM arriving 3:00PM
QR702 New York to Doha departing 9:00PM arriving 4:25PM (+1 day)

QR703 Doha to New York departing 2:15AM arriving 9:00PM
QR704 New York to Doha departing 11:05AM arriving 6:30AM (+1 day)

Shouldnt' QR703 land at 9AM not PM?

I wonder why they still don’t have DFW with Qsuites yet. Maybe is because 77w with the weight of Qsuites can not fly that far?

JFK already gets Qsuites all day. Some of the 900s have them and JFK always gets them.

It makes me sad that AA left the TPA-JFK market because it makes OW awards out of JFK a pain for TPA based flyers like me. I either have to connect in CLT or get a separate DL or B6 ticket.

Yep flying doh-jfk in a couple weeks, but on the previously scheduled 1000 flight. We're really looking forward to that double bed

@Doug, i feel
You. They could compete with DL and B6 from both TPA and SRQ.

Took a flight back to JFK on October and doing another RTN to DOH next month. The 350-1000 is an amazing plane & it was not difficult to score with 75,000 AA miles to both final destinations (EBL & ADD).

Best in the sky today....but SQ & MH beat them on food service.

Up until now, the morning JFK-DOH flight had the non Q-Suite configuration, and it has been the only one with award availability. On the day my wife, my 93-year-old mother and I need to fly, the morning flight's allotment was already taken, forcing us to fly out of PHL, even though my mom is NY-based. I am hoping that now that both flights have Q-Suites, Qatar Airways might be generous and open award availability on the evening flight .

I'm flying Qsuites to JFK on May 14 after a trip to Turkey, Israel and Jordan. I scored two award tickets for 70k each through AA a couple of weeks back. I'm super excited. Even though I'm traveling with a companion we're doing the "true" window seats. I had booked in BA first class on a 747 (flying in the nose cone is on my bucket list), but they changed it to a 777 so I cancelled and started looking for another interesting route. Qsuites is also on the bucket list so I'm equally excited. And it was 60,000 miles cheaper for two.

looks like Qatar is flying the 777-300ER for the night flight out of JFK. Any idea when both flights will be with the 350?
