I flew Qatar Airways' famous QSuite business class on its A350 and 777. Here's how the 2 jets compare, and which I prefer.

I spent 22 hours flying in Qatar Airways' QSuite on 2 different plane types.

Here's the one I prefer and why.

Courtesy of Coby Wayne I flew in Qatar Airways' famous QSuite business class on back-to-back flights in July.

I flew seven hours on the Boeing 777 and then 15 hours on the Airbus A350.

The QSuite itself is largely the same, but the Airbus is quieter with a better cabin environment.

Qatar Airways' Qsuite is legendary, with double beds and quad seating options that have made it one of the most coveted business-class seats in the sky.

But the QSuite varies plane to plane, and the subtle yet meaningful differences can change the experience.

When flying Qsuite to or from the US, chances are you'll be on an Airbus A350.

As of Summer 2026, the jet serves most of Qatar's dozen US gateways.

Only three destinations — Washington, DC, New York-JFK, and Seattle — have regularly scheduled Boeing 777-300ER service.

Across Qatar's global network , though, the two jets are more evenly represented.

The 777-300ER, a fleet that averages about 13 years old, remains an integral part of its operations across Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

The A350 family's average age is about 7.4 years.

No matter the plane you're on, though, you're likely to have a blast, from its tremendous privacy, luxurious bedding, and soft pajamas to its dine-on-demand meal service and extensive Oryx One entertainment system.
