Current Qsuite
Qatar Airways Qsuite is considered by many to be one of the best business class products in the world. It is available on select routes for Qatar Airways Business Class and has several features that make it popular with passengers.
Those traveling with friends and family can take advantage of the movable panels to transform the space into a social area, such as the Twin Suite, Double Suite, and what the airline calls “The Quad” for up to four people.
It offers an exclusive space and is the carrier’s first business class seat with a door. The Qsuite also has ambient mood lighting, fully lie-flat beds, and generous storage space. It is also the airline’s first cabin to offer aft and forward-facing seats, which helps achieve the quad configuration.
The media panel comes with all the features one would expect in a premium cabin of a global airline, such as an all-access power port with USB, HDMI, and NFC capabilities. While many consider Qatar’s Qsuite a brilliant way to travel long-haul, it’ll be interesting to see how the carrier steps up its game with the Qsuite Next Gen.
