While Qatar Airways' widebody fleet also consists of the 787, A330, A340, A350, and A380, the 777 continues to be the backbone of their longhaul fleet. Up until recently the 777 featured Qatar Airways' oldest business class seats. The good news is that these are also the first planes to get Qatar Airways' exceptional Qsuites…

Too bad QR award availability is almost nil.

I'm usually a SQ junkie, but I just flew Qsuites last week, and WOW --- it is the BEST business class ever (Soft AND hard products considered). Not to mention the bathrooms are even better than many first class bathrooms.

I was on the flight to Seoul 3 days ago in Qsuite and there was wifi but it didnt work they told me thats because we were flying over India and China so Im not sure thats the real reason.

I believe this aircraft flew overnight on their inaugural flight into Canberra via Sydney. Interesting for the Qatar Airways manager for Australasia to say this morning that the QSuites will be a permanently part of the Canberra - Sydney route shortly.

Although I fly paid first class more than 30 times a year, I consider the Qsuite way better than numerous first class services from the likes of BA and others. Food is excellent. Crew is professional, young and attractive

@ Endre

That’s terrible news. For the sake of the rest of us, please stick with first class.

And don’t forget you’re at risk of contamination if you slum it in business - and, for God’s sake: someone might *see* you in business class and think you’re too poor for first. The shame.

@Endre & @ Nice Paul, which Airlines have the most attractive cabin crew in your experience?

@Lucky Why don't you use some netspeed app to measure the speed of internet connections on board and in lounges?

You are always giving some "decent", "pretty fast", "horrible" evaluation, while you could use Ookla or alike to give a precise Download/Upload number.

Shame WiFi is becoming widespread on planes - they were one of the last remaining spaces where you could relax uninterrupted.

@dave couldn’t agree more. I love not being able to be contacted for 10+ hours!

Are you becoming poor now?
What a shame of flying business class! Stick to First please!

Don't even go out from there!
We don't want to see rubbish walking around in the aisle.

I’m not sure. Which airlines have the most attractive passengers?

Mostly I just feel sorry for F/As. All that horrid polyester they’re made to wear. And dealing all day with Endre massive sense of entitlement. Ghastly.

I agree with Alessan.
Lucky, why don't you try giving speedtests on your flights (such as speedtest.net).

@ JacobC and @The Nice Paul are the typical internet haters who can't afford flying in luxury (maybe once in a lifetime after accumulating enough miles). Instead they prefer to criticize the ones who can. Go get a life.

@Emilio, the most attractive crew in my experience are the ones from LATAM, Etihad, Singapore and Aeroflot. Bear in mind that I am referring to business and first class service. For coach/basic economy, you can ask @JacobC or @The Nice Paul who are experts

What a cry baby! Hahaha
Do I have to mentioned how many times I fly paid First Class a year everytime I posted a comment? Like you did? No one bother!

Unlike you. Attention seeker!
You are still not rich enough if you can't afford buying your own private jet! Get a life! Hahaha

Ah, Endre. I’ve never flown on miles in my life. I’m mostly here for Lucky’s comprehensive reviews.

Still, perhaps you could give us the actual percentages you allocate to each airline’s F/As. Oh, and whether your rankings work for both male and female F/As, or whether different airlines are better for each gender. It’d be great to have your view.

The comments have always been plagued with people finding random ways to mention they flew in FC.

It's cringe. I saw this on the way to HKG (in FC of course) - off on a little fishing trip.

on topic tho, I dont care if a plane has Wifi or not- to disconnect on a plane from the world is a luxury to me. 😉

Hi Lucky
I just came from DOH to JFK on feb 10th. They had the ooredoo super WiFi as they call it.

It was pretty fast, did not get a chance to measure the speed though

Lucky,
Do you know of any timetable for the 777 routes converting to Q-suites?
Thanks,
