Qatar Airways unveils revolutionary business-class option — the QSuite

Business class travellers on Qatar Airways will soon be able to enjoy a totally new travel experience.

The Qatari airline unveiled its highly anticipated and revolutionary new business class experience — QSuite — on the sidelines of the opening day of the ITB Berlin exhibition.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker unveiled the new seat design, before the airline’s annual press conference at a ‘spectacular’ reveal ceremony, reported Gulf Times.

Guests were captivated as a life-sized cross-section of a Qatar Airways aircraft, featuring the new QSuite, was unveiled to rapturous applause.

Launched at the ITB Berlin, the ‘unique and patented’ seat has been two years in the making.

The berth is far more flexible than the previous generation and will also allow four seats to be realigned to create a mini meeting area, with adjustable screens creating a private suite for couples.

QSuite features the industry’s first-ever double bed available in Business Class, with privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room, reported The Peninsula.

“You can take your honeymoon on Qatar Airways, but you’ll have to keep silent,” Al Baker joked, according to Skift.

Each seat is crafted with luxurious details such as hand-stitched Italian leather and satin rose gold finishing, bringing an unprecedented level of luxury, privacy and style.

The new QSuite concept will be retrofitted on to the existing Qatar Airways fleet starting from June 2017, at an estimated rate of one aircraft a month.

The entertainment options provided by Qatar Airways are also large and varied, according to Al Baker.

“On Qatar Airways, you choose when you dine, and the menu options are varied, with something for everyone. You choose when you rest, and when you want entertainment. We offer more choices than any other airline. It only makes sense to give you the choice to make your own cabin-within-a-cabin, creating double QSuites or quadrants,” he told Qatar Tribune.

The new Business Class food menu will offer a selection of snack ‘sharing dishes’ available throughout the flight, allowing travellers to turn dining into a social experience.

A wake-up Express Breakfast will also be available for those who choose to sleep a little longer by making the most of the 'Do Not Disturb' option available on the door of their private QSuite.

Qatar Airways also launched a completely new next-generation user interface of Oryx One, its award-winning inflight entertainment platform. Oryx One's interface has been redesigned to make it even easier to surf content and choose from up to 3,000 entertainment options.

Only one evening??? How rude!! Nah, I'll take that as a compliment; and hey age is just information for a passport or a form; we might well meet some evening somewhere and I'm sure it'd be a fun time; yes, us at the emporium with rizks and karak and poppadums and the pink Kia and Camry parked next to rizk's tuk tuk and looking so sporty...how exciting I can't wait :-)))

Brit: the first class smiles are even more practiced than the economy ones so yes rizks is right in a way; they're at work after all and I find cabin crew to be much more fun when they're off work :-)

Mohdata: Rizks says that the air hostesses get prettier the higher the class. Perhaps you can confirm

I've been in all the classes and other than takeoff and landing, flying nowadays is just as boring and tedious whether you're in the cargo hold, economy or in first class...my only requirement is a bulkhead window seat to watch the takeoff/landing and to have some space for my long legs...
