Additionally, you may switch between forward- and rear-facing seats. Rear-facing seats have their consoles on the aisle side, which keeps them close together, but forward-facing seats have their consoles in the center, which keeps them further apart. Although these center Qsuites are completely private, they have moveable panels and television screens, which enable some of them to be transformed into distinctive multi-person spaces: The A350-two-cabin 1000's Business Class section was designed by PriestmanGoode of the United Kingdom and seems worlds away from the majority of Qatar Airways' Business Class rivals. The cabin is illuminated by LED mood lighting in Qatar Airways' characteristic burgundy hue, a relaxing color palette accentuated by sophisticated and warm rose gold details and even some marble-finish whites. You had best be a fan of pink to fly Qatar Airwaysâ Qsuite, but beyond from that, the cabin seems exceedingly elegant and private.
However, it does have a very high-quality first- and business-class product, Qsuite, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest next-generation business-class goods. Qsuite's âFirst in Businessâ program is more akin to vacationing in ultimate luxury and is even more thrilling than flying first class on certain other airlines. Qatar Airways' team is still contemplating whether to raise the next generation of Qsuite to meet the criteria, hence eliminating the need for first class, or to introduce a modest first-class offering on premium chosen business routes on future aircraft.
The Qatar Airways A380 first class cabin has eight extremely large but not entirely private seats arranged in a 1-2-1 layout over two rows.
The interior is very elegant, with exceptional attention to detail. I like the variety of textures and materials used in Qatar Airways' seat design.
How to Book First Class on Qatar Airways Using Miles and Points
As I said in my assessment of Qatar Airways business class, I booked my ticket entirely last year during an incredible bargain offer. My upgrading to first class seemed strange, considering that I paid the cheapest business class cost of any passengerâabout $1,400 round-trip between Bangkok and Los Angeles. I'm guessing it was due to my âSapphireâ position in the oneworld alliance, rather than anything else.
