Virgin Australia has just announced that starting in June 2025, several of its international flights will be operated by Qatar Airways, making it possible to book award flights on the Qsuite.

To find more availability, I recommend using an award flight search tool like Roame, which will make it easier to find more dates to travel aboard the Qsuite. A short search showed us many available dates for these routes between June and October 2025. Check out our guide to Roame to learn more about the benefits of this tool.
What sets the Qsuite apart from other cabins is that it offers seats with closed doors, something that few airlines offer in business class, and which is more common in first class on carriers such as Etihad Airways, Emirates or Singapore Airlines.
If you’ve ever dreamed of travelling in one of the most popular cabins thanks to your Aeroplan points, you can now do so by booking a Virgin Australia flight operated by Qatar Airways between Australia and Doha.
