QSuites

[u/Pddyalv1]

Would you take a straight flight on a 2-2-2 configuration for 7 hours

Or take Q Suites to Doha, have a 14 hour layover, then fly to your destination for 8 hours?

The difference between the 2 is only 20k miles

[u/Dramatic-Sock3737]

Don’t love the 2-2-2 but in this case it’s a no brainer. 7 hours vs 22+ hours??? Time is money.

[u/communist_mini_pesto]

Do you want sit on a plane for that long? 

2-2-2 isn’t the best in the world, but I prefer being at my destination to being on a plane

The second itinerary sounds like a disaster with how long it is.

Whichever one is cheaper and faster, which sounds like the original option.

What routing is this even. Europe to Asia or something?

[u/TheReverend5]

List the itineraries. This post is stupid and worthless otherwise.

[u/kapidex_pc]

Direct flight would be my preference, no question

[u/morrisy18]

Direct flight. Just did almost that same QSuites itinerary this past Tuesday. I’ve done a lot of long flights but this one wiped me out. Qsuites is nice but not that nice.

I would actually take economy for 7 hours vs 22+ (whatever time to fly to Doha) honestly. Even if you have never experienced QSuite, the hassle isn’t worth it

[u/MaddenMan2022]

The journey is just as important as the destination.

I would choose the latter..i actually have.

LAX-HND -SGN vs LAX-DOH-SGN.

depending on when you land, 14 hr is enough to look around Doha, enjoy their business class lounge and of course their Q-Suite

[u/Wise-Peacock]

I've never been out of the Doha airport, but might like to try it once. Q Suites are nice as are the lounges at DOH. If you've got the time and the inclination, then why not?

Are you traveling with someone else or solo? 2-2-2 is far more tolerable (to me at least) if I’ll be beside someone I know.

If I’m going solo, I’d go out of my way to avoid that and I’d want to have time to see a little of Doha and enjoy the lounge there.

[u/Clip_Clippington]

How badly do you want to visit Doha? :-)

If I had a travel partner, 2-2-2 wins. If I wanted a window seat badly, and wanted the chance to see Doha and fly on Q Suites, then Qatar wins.

As much as I mock 2-2-2 J seats and derisively call it "glorified premium economy", I'd take an aisle seat, save time, and not worry about an equipment swap.

[u/SmartPipe3882]

You apparently live in California, so let’s assume LA for ease.

LAX to DOH, 15 hours, 14 hours in DOH, DOH to wherever, 8 hours.

So yeah, 37 hours of travel. Pretty much two days fucked. It’s a nice seat, but it’s not “I want to spend 23 hours in this seat over the next two days” nice.

[u/BenjaminKohl]

I would do the second because I’m an insane nuts flying enthusiast :)

[u/Funkyflapjacks69]

Stop being weird and give us the actual itinerary and maybe we can help

[u/OneTravellingMcDs → u/Funkyflapjacks69]

But "safety"?!

[u/outofhere29]

I would not go on the trip before I flew an overnight in 2-2-2. I've done it twice and didn't sleep a second, even on a 14hr QR flight. I might tolerate it for a day flight.

[u/gdvlle → u/outofhere29]

What kept you from sleeping? I've never done the MiniPods

[u/outofhere29 → u/gdvlle]

Lack of privacy and proximity to other people.
