Qatar Airways is my favorite business class airline and I’ve been eager to try their Q-Suites experience since they first launched in 2017. The Q-Suite takes business class travel to a new level and I’m excited to share my review with you. Qatar Airways was already my favorite business class airline, but the Q-Suite really took it up a notch. 

First Impressions 

The stars finally aligned for me to try the Q-Suite experience on my recent girls’ trip to the Maldives. As soon I stepped on the plane and got a glimpse of the spacious Q-Suites I knew that this was going to be an extra special flight. 

I was greeted with a glass of rose champagne and a very generous amenity kit, which included Castello Monte Vibiano toiletries and noise cancelling headphones. The latter was a particularly well-thought out touch because the Q-Suites are so comfortable that you can safely expect many of your fellow passengers to be snoring throughout the flight. 

Storage 

Staying organised whilst travelling is very important to me. I always feel anxious when my belongings are scattered all over the plane. Whilst the Q-Suites had slightly less storage space than I’m used to when flying business class, I loved that I was able to comfortably store all of my possessions right next to my bed. I hate getting up and rummaging in the overhead locker during a flight! 

There were three shelves: a main dinner tray table, a cocktail table and an amenity shelf below. This means you can safely enjoy your dinner and use your laptop at the same time without living in fear of spillages. 

Food and Drink 

I’m a huge fan of Middle Eastern cuisine and so the Q-Suites food was a real treat for me. Guests with Q-Suites have access to a dine-on-demand menu, so you can eat when you’re hungry rather than at scheduled times. In addition to the four-course meals, there are also many lighter options if you indulged at the lounge prior to take off, as well as a selection of snack platters. You can even choose an afternoon tea plate, which I love since I grew up in the Bahamas. The Q-Suites food really is restaurant quality and I was highly impressed. Best of all, each passenger receives a departure gift of Godiva chocolates!

There’s also an excellent wine list which includes options such as Lanson and Laurent Perrier. The rose champagne was a real winner for me. On the soft drinks menu, Qatar Airways signature Lemon Mint juice is the perfect, healthy way to refresh mid-flight. 

Beds 

Q-Suites offer passengers the chance to sleep on a fully flat bed during the flight. You’ll be sure to arrive at your destination feeling well-rested. Better still, you can combine your bed with up to three other passengers to make a giant slumber party! This is a great option for groups of friends or families travelling together. 

At night, each passenger received a package containing luxurious White Company pyjamas and slippers. If you’ve read my guide to the best loungewear, you’ll know that I absolutely love this brand. 

I slept for almost the entire flight, which I actually felt a little guilty for. I had planned to savour the experience a little more. But what can I say? The Q-Suites were just too comfy. Besides, it was a very long journey from Miami to the Maldives. Getting a large amount of shut-eye on the plane really reduced my jet-lag. It allowed me to enjoy the first few days of my trip without feeling like a zombie. 

Final Thoughts 

I loved every second of my Q-Suites experience. It simply cemented Qatar Airways status as my favorite business class airline. This truly is a luxurious experience and one that I cannot wait to repeat.
