Qatar Airways is known for its Qsuites business class. This is one of the world’s best business class experiences, between an excellent soft and hard product. Roughly seven years after the product was introduced, it’s available on most long haul aircraft, but not all.

Between Boeing’s delays on 779, and everything going on in the Middle East right now, yeah, no worries about this. Heh, at least whenever it does go live Ben will have a new First Class product to try. (Is that the ‘completionist’ rule, have to try every variant of international F, or is it just once per airline?)
@ 1990_ -- Hah! The rule is to try the best version of every carrier's first class, so I would have to try that.
I'm glad Qatar are finally realising that waiting for the 777x is a bad idea. Hopefully they retrofit the non Q-suite A350s too as this would increase the likelihood of getting a Q-Suite
As Ben says, ANA's THE Room is better product per se, but this next-gen Qsuites are gonna change this scheme.
The updated ANA business class is just a downgrade of the current version. No recline, FHD entertainment screen... all while Qatar Airways actually improved the Qsuites.
Forget retrofitting existing A350-1000s as they all have the current Q Suites. They should at least retrofit the A350-900s many of which still have the regular first gen Super Diamond seats similar to A380 and 787-8.
cant wait to try this product
I like the updates, generally. I still don't get the QuadPod or the new dual arrangement near the windows. I've had about 20 Qsuite flights and don't recall ever seeing it implemented as depicted in the videos. Who wants to stare/yell at travelling companions? A group of four dining together seems unrealistic given service patterns. Qatar, ANA and others continue to demonstrate the clear superiority of seats that are inline with the fuselage versus herringbone arrangements. Herringbone is flat out awkward.
“Let’s move the TVs so that folks can sit fairly far apart and yell at each other.” I could do without “enhancements” that encourage groups of people to be loud in the cabin.
Excellent news. Q-Suite is still my favorite, but the current product is long in the tooth.
I use to love the Q suites,But have burnt out of them lately. Service, Meals,Movies,etc are not the Best anymore. 14 Trips in the last 4 years is enough.I cannot wait to try the new one.
