Ever wondered what luxury at 35000 feet would look like? It would probably look something like this:
- A double bed with privacy panels
- OnAir GSM/WiFi service
- Endless options for in-flight entertainment
- Ambient lighting and luxury colors and fabrics
- Wine and dine with my travel partners
Sounds too good to be true, right? No need to wonder. Qatar Airways, a two-time winner of the TPG Award for the best international business-class product, recently launched Qsuite in Kenya onboard their state-of-the-art Airbus A350 1000, and Qsuite is luxury redefined with everything on my list and more!
Luxury Redefined? Tell Me More.
Well, the Qsuite is Qatar Airways’ new business class. They went all out, no detail was left out. Privacy, a full double lie-flat bed, in-suite accent lighting, and generous storage spaces create a new standard in comfort.
Privacy
Quad; a private space fully adaptable to you and your companions’ requirements. There are generally 4 to 6 quads, though this may vary on the aircraft type and configuration. The quad has movable panels that’ll allow you to transform your space into a workspace or social area. And when you are ready to relax or sleep, your quad can be transformed back into your own private room for the ultimate in rest and relaxation.
“With Qsuite, Qatar Airways has transformed premium travel by bringing a First Class experience to the Business Class cabin” Mr. Hendrik Du Preez- Qatar Airways Vice-President, Africa
A Qsuite Bed
The first-ever double bed in Business class. How? The seats in the quad convert into a fully lie-flat bed and have doors and privacy dividers, that’s why it’s known as a suite. Sometimes, you just want to sleep in a little longer which is why there is a ‘Do Not Disturb’ option available on the Qsuite’s media panel, alerting the crew from the outside to not disturb.
Endless Entertainment
So over the years, in-flight entertainment has been nothing to write home about… until now. With Qsuite, the inflight entertainment has over 4000 options of seat-gripping action, tension-filled drama, and rib-cracking comedy to choose from.
Staying Connected
No need to wait till you land to get back online. Qatar Airways understands the needs of its Business Class clientele. Get ready to enjoy the flexibility of sending and receiving SMS or MMS messages, e-mail, or browsing the internet on your devices using OnAir GSM/WiFi service on board.
The Qatar Airways Way of ‘Seating’
Forward-facing seats are commonplace in airplanes unlike rear-facing seats, which in airline terms is the new generation of seating that is likely to become the norm. There’s a certain thrill to flying in a rear-facing seat and Qsuite has both forward and rear-facing seats. In fact, Qatar Airways is the airline that revolutionized flying backward. Qsuite offers a bunch of different seating configurations that are ideal for every type of traveler – solo flyers, couples, and families.
Partnering With The Best
It’s true what they say, Luxury recognizes luxury. We can all agree that Qatar Airways partnering with two Italian luxury brands, BRIC’s and Castello Monte Vibiano, to provide amenity kits that include a range of skincare products and in-flight necessities is a definite perk for its future Qsuite clientele. The contents of this amenity kit will ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling refreshed.
Luxury Is In The Details
The Business Class cabin interiors are designed in burgundy and grey; Qatar Airways signature colors. They are enhanced with elegant rose gold detailing, just to remind you this is no ordinary Business Class. The seats have the latest and finest fabrics, ambient mood lighting, generous storage space, and the media panel comes with an all-access power port that’s fully fitted with USB, HDMI, and NFC capabilities for your convenience. What more could a Qsuite flyer want!
Wait, There’s More!
Qatar Airways is also launching a new food and beverage concept to accompany the current Business Class dine-on-demand service. The new Business Class menu will now offer an additional selection of snack ‘sharing dishes’ available throughout the flight. This is what all food lovers who fly have been waiting for.
Qsuite has already been recognized as the World’s Best Business Class by the 2021 Skytrax World Airline Awards. Qsuite has well and truly welcomed the new standard of Business Class. I bet you can’t wait to experience it for yourself. When you do, come on back here and tell us if it was your dream flight experience come true!
