Selecting a seat based on the amount of windows you will get is definitely a thing, and if it isn’t, it is now. Aircraft always have a missing window or two, and seat arrangements mean some people get more windows than others.
On a recent long overnight flight on a Qatar Airways Boeing 777-300ER, I decided to get pictures of all the rows. This handy pictorial guide should let you pick the best seats when next flying business class Qsuites on the oneworld alliance carrier.
Business Class Qsuite Windows
There were just seven passengers on my flight, thanks to the pandemic and other restrictions. This made photography easy, though I missed rows five and nine as people sat in these seats on both sides. So, let’s have a look then, shall we?
-
- Three full windows in 1A and 1K.
-
- Two and a sliver in 2B and 2J.
-
- Is it two and a half or three in 3A and 3K?
-
- I’ll go for two and a third in 4B and 4J.
-
- Avoid 6B and 6J like the plague – there’s a missing window!
-
- Behind doors two, is 8A and 8K with two windows.
-
- There is two and a hair in 10A and 10K.
-
- Just about two and a missing window in 11B and 11J.
Window lovers should be trying to snag something in rows one and three, it seems. Avoid row six at all costs, unless you’re someone who doesn’t care to look outside when flying!
Overall Thoughts
While a Boeing 777-300ER doesn’t have the largest plane windows around, it is still worth getting as many as you can. You never know what views might be passing by when you’re flying.
Happily nobody caught me randomly taking photos of random seats during the flight, not that it took long. I was hardly pausing to get a perfect shot for aesthetic reasons. It was very much a case of snap and go to meet my brief.
I’m curious, do you check the window alignment before selecting a seat? Or is that just total over the top madness? Thank you for reading and if you have any comments or questions, please leave them below.

This info was SO useful!! Exactly the info I wanted before selecting my QSuite!
Thank you so much Trent! If only there was a page like this for all seats.. 🙂
You’re very welcome – I’m glad you found it useful. It does help a lot with seat selection to see where the seats are. The website https://www.aerolopa.com/ is also excellent, as all their seating plans include the windows and the proper seat locations and dimensions. Qatar Airways is on there, so it’s worth checking out. Have a great trip!
I’m excited. I’m flying this coming July with my seat 3K. it looks like it has good amount of window. =)
You will have a glorious time!! Glad you found this useful… I had hoped people would look at it before they fly to see the amount of windows. Enjoy your flight and thanks for the comment!
