In the skies with Qatar Airways, the World’s Best Airline 2024 by Skytrax
We recently caught up with our friends at Qatar Airways to talk about their Qsuite space, their exclusive benefits & rewards, and the unique experience they offer business travellers.
Qatar Airways was recognised as the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax for an unprecedented eighth time at the 2024 World Airline Awards. With its award-winning Business Class, luxurious lounges, and expansive global network of over 170 destinations, Qatar Airways redefines the air travel experience.
QSuite Next Gen: Luxury Defined
The game-changing Qsuite Next Gen aims to facilitate a mindful work-life balance with its revolutionary features for professionals, friends, and families alike. Plus, the new Companion Suite has similar attributes to the Quad Suite, with the notable addition of shared space in the window aisles.
ENTERTAINMENT
The redesigned Quad Suite is now equipped with movable 4K OLED Panasonic Astrova IFE screens – a first for any airline globally.
The screens can be repositioned to the side, creating the largest social and productivity space in the sky for up to four passengers in the Quad Suite, or up to two passengers in the Companion Suite.
REST AND RELAXATION
Rest and relaxation in the Quad Suite have also been enhanced, with increased space for dining together – a hallmark of Qatari heritage – as well added privacy with taller, digitally controlled dividers. With larger lie-flat and double beds, the new Quad Suite also offers Qatar Airways’ five-star turn-down service, featuring a dedicated ‘Make My Bed’ option.
TECHNOLOGY
Adopting new technologies for increased passenger convenience and connectivity, the Qsuite Next Gen delivers a vast array of customisation options, ranging from ambient lighting to privacy controls, through its upgraded touchscreen Passenger Control Units.
