Check out Qatar’s New Business Class: The Qsuite
The internet has exploded on the news of Qatar’s New Business Class: The QSuite. It offers fully enclosed business class suites with the capability of creating a 4 person dining experience. Pretty freaking cool. Another dope aspect of the design is the bed feature. Dope if you’re traveling with your lovey dovey, and I would assume fairly awkward if you’re not. I watched a video from Qatar and Andy’s Travel Blog that highlight a lot of the features. Both are below and worth the watch. It looks fantastic, reminiscent of the Etihad Business Studio (which I LOOOOOOOOVE), and I’m eager to schedule a flight to check it out.
A look at the family of 4 configuration. HOW DOPE! Dine with the fam.
Or as a couple and business buds. Notice how the tvs slid to close the space between? HOOOOOWWWWWW COOL!
Sleep with your kiddo. 
Or your mate.
IT COMES WITH DOOOOOORS
I love this feature. And I love the HUGE tvs.
Plush Amenity kit from Bric’s
Inside are products by Castello Monte Vibiano Vecchio
I’m using press photos that Qatar provided and obviously don’t have any first hand pics to reference. Here is the official video
On night flights, you get pajamas too! They’re designed by The White CompanyAmazing.
And then one from Andy over at Andy’s Travel Blog and his video. He does a great job of live reviewing the product from the debut. Thanks Andy!
When can I fly it? What Planes? Gimme Deets Miles I NNNNEEEEEDDDD THEM!!!!
Starts in June 2017 on the DOH to LHR route on the 77W. It will then expand to JFK and Paris
Qatar’s 77W and the A350-1000 will get the seats first. A variation of the product will be developed to accommodate the cabin size of other aircraft, but the idea will remain consistent.
