I toured Qatar's new Qsuite business class, which passengers are still waiting to fly. These are the 7 best upgrades.
Qatar Airways hoped to launch its new Qsuite business class in 2025, but it still hasn't flown a single passenger. See what to expect once it debuts.
Qatar Airways has unveiled its new Qsuite Next Gen business class, which is still waiting to be flown. The airline debuted the luxury cabin at the UK's Farnborough Airshow in 2024, promising a new level of opulence for Boeing 777-9 jets by 2025. However, the 777-9 is seven years behind schedule due to various production, safety, quality, and supply-chain issues.
Upon touring the Qsuite Next Gen at the Arabian Travel Market trade show in Dubai in September, several noteworthy upgrades stood out. These include the Companion Suite, Quad Suite, 4K screens, digitally controlled dividers, a smart safe, wireless charging and USB-C ports, and the "Make My Bed" service. The Companion Suite connects two window passengers, while the Quad Suite features larger shared surfaces, movable screens, bigger beds, and digitally controlled dividers.
The 4K screens in the Quad Suite can physically swing aside and be controlled via a separate touchscreen remote. The digitally controlled dividers can open or close the Quad Suite while allowing other passengers to remain visible. A four-digit PIN locks a concealed drawer for valuables, and the cabin features wireless charging and USB-C ports.
