Qatar’s A350-1000s are in a two-class layout, equipped with 46 closed Q-suites and 281 standard economy seats.

Qsuite introduces ambient mood lighting, fully reclining beds, and ample storage capacity, setting a new benchmark for comfort. One distinctive aspect of Qatar's Qsuite is its pioneering cabin layout, featuring both aft and forward-facing seats, resulting in a unique quad cabin configuration. Integrated into these seats are movable panels that allow passengers to transform the space into a social area, allowing them to work, dine, and socialize.

Every seat has a personal TV featuring Audio Video on Demand with individually controlled entertainment. Find out more about Qatar’s IFE here: qatarairways.com.
