Qatar Airways set the standard for luxury with its iconic Qsuites, and now it’s raising the bar even further with the Next Gen Qsuites. This latest evolution brings enhanced features and a refined experience, designed to impress and elevate premium travel to the next level.
Qatar Airways has unveiled in July 2024 its newest business class product, the Qsuite Next Gen, that is supposed to make its debut in 2025. This updated offering builds upon their already outstanding service, incorporating significant advancements while maintaining the core features that made the original Qsuite so popular.
The Qsuite Next Gen retains the staggered seat arrangement, with a mix of forward and rear-facing seats, but it introduces several notable improvements. These enhancements are designed to elevate the experience even further, particularly for those traveling with companions. With these innovations, Qatar Airways is set to redefine what it means to experience top-tier business class travel.
Here are some of the standout features of the new Qsuite Next Gen:
Advanced Technology: Upgraded tech includes new wireless charging capabilities for added convenience.
The Boeing 777X will be the first to showcase the debut of the Qsuite Next Gen.
The Qsuite Next Gen is poised to make its debut on Qatar Airways’ upcoming fleet of Boeing 777-9s. With the airline having ordered 60 of these aircraft, the first deliveries are expected to commence around late 2025 or early 2026, though this timeline could be adjusted as the plane is still undergoing certification.
Furthermore, Qatar Airways is anticipated to introduce an enhanced first-class product on the 777-9, expected to be as impressive as the new business class offering.
Fleet Variability: Passengers have expressed frustration over fleet inconsistency, as Qatar Airways operates a diverse range of products, partly due to the integration of secondhand aircraft that haven’t been reconfigured.
Qatar Airways’ highly anticipated Qsuites 2.0 is expected to roll out on key international routes, including potential deployment on flights to Toronto (YYZ), Montreal (YUL), and other major destinations worldwide.
For Canadians looking to experience Qsuites 2.0 using points, the best strategy is leveraging Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios, which can be earned by transferring RBC Avion Rewards or American Express Membership Rewards to British Airways Club and then moving them to Qatar Airways Privilege Club.
Here’s an example of potential YUL-DOH route redemption :
*Please note this award pricing is subject to change by the time the roll-over of the Qsuites 2.0
Alternatively, redemptions are also possible through oneworld partners like American Airlines AAdvantage for the same flight it would cost 70,000 AA miles + 57.70 USD$
While Qatar Airways Privilege Club typically offers the most direct access to Qsuites, monitoring partner programs can sometimes lead to better deals, especially during transfer bonuses or promotional award pricing. An easy way to do this is by using award search tools such as Roame, to quickly find the best prices for award flights.
Qatar Airways has revealed its latest business class upgrade, Qsuite Next Gen, offering refinements rather than a complete redesign. The new features focus on upgraded technology and an improved setup for passengers traveling together, making the experience even more seamless.
However, the wait will be long—the Qsuite Next Gen will debut exclusively on the Boeing 777X, which isn’t expected to enter service until late 2025 or early 2026 at the earliest. Until then, the current Qsuite remains a top-tier option for premium travelers.
