A New Era of Luxury in the Sky.
Qatar Airways has once again raised the bar in business class travel with its Qsuite Next Gen, unveiled at the Farnborough Airshow 2024. Known for redefining luxury, Qatar Airways has made its signature business class even better with revolutionary updates to enhance comfort, privacy, and connectivity.
There is a groundbreaking feature on the new Qatar Qsuite Next Gen: The Companion Suite. Let’s take a look at what’s new on board the Next gen Qatar Airways QSuite.
What’s New in the Qsuite Next Gen?
1. Wider and Longer Seats
The Next Gen seats are 2 inches wider and offer a longer lie-flat bed, perfect for restful sleep or lounging in comfort. The dining table is also bigger, allowing for better in-flight dining experiences.
2. QSuite Next Gen Companion Suite
For me personally, this is the most groundbreaking feature. I often travel in twos and have had to sacrifice the window view for the middle seats. Now, with the Companion Suite, two passengers can sit opposite each other by the window while still enjoying privacy and interaction. It’s a game-changer for couples or travel partners who want the best of both worlds.
3. QSuite Next Gen – Redesigned Quad Suite
The Quad Suite is now fully open, thanks to movable dividers and screens. The screens can be folded to create a completely unobstructed space, ideal for groups of up to four. This is great for families travelling with kids. This open layout can transform into a single suite by raising the dividers for maximum privacy. Here’s a look at the current one versus the next gen one.
4. Enhanced Privacy and Controls
The sliding door is 2 inches taller for better privacy, and the upgraded Passenger Control Unit makes it easy to adjust the seat, lighting, and mood with just a touch.
5. Tech and Storage Upgrades
- Wireless charging is now available. USB Ports are still available.
- Lockable storage drawers with 4-digit pin codes let you safely stow valuables.
- Dedicated storage compartments for laptops, tablets, and even shoes ensure a clutter-free suite.
6. New In-Flight Entertainment
A 22-inch 4K OLED display by Panasonic Astrova offers stunning visuals, while Bluetooth connectivity allows you to pair your own devices seamlessly.
7. Luxurious Finishes
The suite features marble surfaces, adding a touch of elegance to the cabin. The ‘Make My Bed’ button ensures a five-star turn-down service for ultimate relaxation. The dining table has also had a size upgrade.
Qatar Airways QSuite Next Gen 777
Qatar Airways has expanded its order of the Boeing 777X, adding 20 more Boeing 777-9 aircraft to its fleet, bringing the total to 94.
When is the Next Gen QSuite Coming?
The Qsuite Next Gen will debut on these aircraft in 2025, offering passengers the pinnacle of comfort and innovation on long-haul journeys.
Award-Winning Excellence
Qatar Airways continues to dominate the skies, winning the ‘World’s Best Airline’ award for the eighth time in 2024, along with accolades for the ‘World’s Best Business Class’ and more. With a network of over 170 destinations, the airline remains a leader in luxury air travel.
Final Words
The Qsuite Next Gen isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a reimagination of business class travel. With revolutionary features like the Companion Suite, enhanced Quad Suite, advanced technology, and unmatched privacy, the airline continues to set new benchmarks.
For example, there is no comparison between Qatar’s next-gen QSuite on the upcoming 777 and Emirates’ A350 900. I was hoping Emirates would deliver something as impressive as Qatar’s Next Gen QSuite, but so far, they seem to have only excelled with their game changer first class suite. That was years ago and we have only seen a handful of them as well. Everything else has been relatively average. Meanwhile, Qatar continues to excel with every new offering.
Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, the Qsuite Next Gen promises a tailored, elegant, and comfortable experience.
As it takes to the skies in 2025 on the Boeing 777-9, it is clear that Qatar Airways is not just following trends but creating them, ensuring passengers enjoy the finest in aviation comfort and style. The Qsuite Next Gen is not just an evolution; it’s a revolution in the world of premium air travel.
As it currently stands not all Qatar Airways feature QSuites on board their business class cabins. For example, the Airbus A350 900 Qatar Seat Map show us that it has two configurations. One with standard diamond seat business class and another with QSuites.
