Qatar Airways are rightly very proud of their Qsuites in business class. People have been falling over themselves to praise the product and having flown it, the praise is justified. What you might not know is that the Doha based airline offers a seat better than Qsuites.
You might be shocked at what I just said. Better than Qsuites? Impossible, right? Well, when checking out various reviews online, I kept coming across the odd comment saying one seat is actually better.
The Seat Better Than Qsuites
For those who may not know what the Qsuite looks like, there’s my review here plus you can find a picture below. Needless to say, it’s a very nice experience all round, being private, comfortable and well designed.
Overall Thoughts
Many people online seem to be at pains to make out Qatar Airways’ first class is not better than Qsuites. It seems those who have flown both do find that in actual fact, the first class seat is better.
Having not experienced the A380 first class myself, I can’t speak about it. However, I have eyes and looking at the comparison pictures shows that one is far, far more spacious than the other.
I am booked to fly Doha to Sydney and back on the A380 in first class early near year. I’ll make sure I review it closely to see if the above comments are in fact true.
Have you flown both Qsuites and the A380 First Class on Qatar Airways? Which one do you think is better and why? I’d love to hear the pros and cons of both. Thank you for reading and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.

The first class cabins are of an older design that has not been updated on many aircraft. I love the space in first class as well. Also the Qsuites are very good, impressive. Either way you go wrong.
Either way you can’t go wrong I meant to say..
Completely agree with you, I think it’s a win either way. Thanks for that!
The bed is the best…
No crammed footwell
Fantastic pic of the bed – it looks super comfortable. Agreed, no crammed foot well, so you can stretch out and sleep in any position that works. Thanks for posting that!
I’ve never flown Qatar so I may be doing it wrong by starting with the best but I have my wife and I booked Bangkok-Doha in February. I specifically chose that to try out their first class. I think it should be lovely, particularly since I’m combining it with my first ever flight on Etihad, flying in first class as well. Hopefully the ME3 live up to their reputations.
They usually do live up to their reputations. I think you’ll have a great time on Bangkok-Doha. I’m also trying the first class in February, so when I write my review, be sure to comment with your thoughts. I’ll be looking forward to hearing them! Etihad are also very excellent, so you’re in for a treat on both counts. Enjoy!!
I flew QR F and EH F a couple years ago on similar sectors from europe to the middle east and back and they were both amazing, you wont be dissapointed
