I FINALLY FLEW Q-SUITES! Qatar Airways A350 Business Class

I did it! I finally flew in Qatar's Q-Suites on an A350-1000 from San Francisco International Airport to Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar. I booked this ticket for 150K Alaska miles + $6 in taxes and fees. I believe experience lived up to the hype in my opinion, but let me know your thoughts below!

Great video. I’ve seen lots of QSuite videos but yours offers many new things not seen in others. I’ve subscribed and look forward to more Business and First reviews. Keep up the good work.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@A2dy]

Recently discovered you channel. Thanks for doing such in depth reviews. I think this is the first review of SFO I've ever seen. Happy to support another Yay Area boy!

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Yee! Thank bro

[@davidjones5547]

The food on this flight was so superior to the prison quality food that one gets on an American carrier in business class

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

It is truly amazing. Especially when I flew American home, to see the contrast!

[@UKabroad1967]

LOL I would love to see the AA flight attendants try and execute a QR J service - from the individually coursed meals, hand plated mains, making iced chai lattes (which involves frothing fresh milk) to turndown service and managing dine on demand for 40+ passengers and multiple service flows in parallel - they’d crumble into the abyss hahaha

[@o.c.g.m9426]

😂😂😂😂 that cell block D food....served by Doris the lunch lady

[@khughes0402]

Great video in every way, including your spot-on voiceover. Your videos are so relaxing for the senses, yet compelling to watch in order not to miss a thing. And the background music is outstanding. (I'd love to know what it is).

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I appreciate all of that! The music is courtesy of Epidemic Sound which gives artists the ability to publish their music without copyright issues

[@mandardabke2457]

I must have seen so many Qsuite vids on YT but this was the best Iv watched so far. I loved how you walked us through the airport, its lounge and then the entire flight. I was to fly this configuration in Jan'24 from JFK, unfortunately they now have me on a 777, but still a Qsuite.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I prefer the a350 for sure, but the Qsuite is still incredible regardless of aircraft! Safe travels!

[@prathamraina4398]

really liked the detailed video

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thanks!

[@jorgokodras1967]

I'm traveling this summer from sfo to Doha in qsuites and so this video was very helpful. You went over everything in detail. You should do more videos like this.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I’m jealous! I would love to do it again! Enjoy the flight

[@jorgokodras1967]

What Seat # do you recommend for better view?

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

@@jorgokodras1967 I like the odd number seats. They’re closer to the window and rear facing

[@charlespierce6899]

Very thorough review. You have a subscriber.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it

[@MyGreenCoat]

14:17 that is not “toilet spray” but Eau de Toilette. It is a mini perfume/cologne.

[@ashishadhikari1904]

Exactly what i was gonna comment😂

[@PeekayIP]

Found it kind of ironic that he mocked the flight attendants pronunciation of acai bowl after referring to this as "toilet spray" 😂

[@andbrads]

That spool-up, almost cried 🥰 38 second TO roll for a 15 hour flight is impressive

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

The A350 really is a thing of beauty!

[@williammorrison898]

Flying from JFK to Doha and Doha to Manila in QSUITE in September can't wait. Thanks for the Vid I enjoyed it.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

That will be incredible! Enjoy!

[@williammorrison898]

@@PatrickSheaAviation thank you!

[@owenthomas4337]

Great video man! I hope to one day fly on Qsuites too

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

You’ll definitely enjoy it! I hope you get the chance. Thanks!

[@GenkisTravels]

Nice trip report! Their QSuite looks fantastic, hope to experience it some day.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I hope you get the chance. It is a ton of $$$. Saving up miles is probably your best bet. It did take me quite a while to save up enough Alaska miles but it was worth every penny

[@Blessed381]

@@PatrickSheaAviation It really depends. Last week Qatar BC cost me $6000. Last year I paid $$2789 for BC and first class, the year before it was $4000 I would NEVER be able to save miles, so cash is my only option

[@jackglicktheinternationalvlogg]

Very well detailed review. August this year I'm doing a Delta Vacations Package to Greece for my wife's birthday

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you! Enjoy that trip to Greece!

[@johniii8147]

You could have used one of the oneworld lounges too with a business class ticket.

[@thonatim5321]

@11:00 you say there are instructions how to get the door off if it gets stuck in flight. The door will not get stuck "in flight". It will, however, get stuck during an uncontrolled impact with the ground or hard landing.

[@fredricgrethel1717]

I have flown Qatar several times. Departed from Dallas, Houston, LA and Dulles. All of the lounges in the US were terrible. I left and went to the AA or Centurian lounges. They truly do not appear to care about this part of the experience. I see this as a true deficit to the airline. I really like your reviews. Keep up the great work.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thanks! I do try to fly a different airline to the Middle East depending on the airport I’m leaving from so I can try and use the best lounge. Definitely try to return on Qatar but it’s usually much to $$$$

[@drakenie2654]

I like your videos

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thanks man

[@B737900ER]

Fantastic report 😊 QR Suites is the best way to fly business. I had the suites on a round trip to Singapore in March 2020, days before the world shutting down. Embarrassing lounge. No wonder Air France had to emphasize so many times "Temporary" 😂

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you! I agree it’s my favorite business class experience, but definitely made better if you’re starting IN Doha with their lounge and service!

[@anitastanley8986]

I had the best flight in the q suite. Enjoyed it more than first in Emirates😊

[@life.with.sabine]

That lounge got more of a staff canteen vibe

[@ninettemurk7492]

The 'fun glass' is for water ;-)

[@anthonyfaraone8303]

Dudeeee this looks awesome! You gotta start like a travel insta or somethin so we can follow along on these cool flights!

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I’ve thought about that. Might start one up soon. I appreciate it!!

[@o.c.g.m9426]

​​@@PatrickSheaAviation As a follower of your Mr Shea I did it backwards and have my previous 20 countries on my Instagram travels and now thinking of starting a small yt channel this yr. Started traveling 2015 n now im thinking I jumped on the yt bandwagon too late 😮

[@perryugalde639]

I am most happy for you to be able to travel, especially to destinations many would not consider. Get out of your comfort zone! Your channel was recommended (by KZbin is my guess) perhaps two weeks ago. I decided to watch, and the rest is history. My experience on Qatar was all things favorable. My journey took me from SEA to DOH to AUH. Doha was a transit point. Abu Dhabi was my end point. The absolute best part of returning to the US (JFK) from AUH was US Customs and Border pre-clearance. I wish you only the best, as well as safety, on all of your travels. Travel is experience for life.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I appreciate the kind words! I forgot AUH has pre-clearance! That was also my final destination but I flew back home from Dubai. Thanks for checkin out my channel! Safe travels

[@YourPsychologicalHappiness]

Just had my first experience yesterday in qsuites houston to doha everything was great except the long delays and layovers .. i find emirates business better

[@mikelsales3599]

The a350-1000 is a beast 🔥

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Totally! One of my favorite planes to fly as a passenger

[@gunvaldsandhaland7757]

ANA The Room Is Better Product.Then Qatar Airlines Q-Suites.Thats My Opinion.Great Work

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

That’s a definite bucket list. If I can find one with UAL miles then I’ll get there. Stay tuned! Thank you!

[@MichaelBSteeleAviation]

Great review. I need to try and cash in my AA miles for a flight like this.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

AA or Alaska have common great redemption for Qatar!

[@pommydiva1]

the meal looked delish. Im surprised there wasnt a "bar with alcoholic drinks" at one end of the Business class. I watched Emirates Bus. Class from another persons channel, and there was on that flight, also there was "munchies area" like packet of chips (crisps) or peanuts, muffins etc - that you could just help yourself. I do love the idea that you can shut the door for complete privacy

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

The meal was awesome! The A380s are the only aircraft they have with an in flight bar. They also have them on only a couple of the 777s that they got from Virgin Australia

[@coolbreeze253]

With a business class ticket you should have been able to visit ant Oneworld carrier's lounge.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I had that same thought once I was already in the air. Maybe if I ever get the chance to try it again

[@yvr2002rtw]

Did you know that as you were on a same day Oneworld Business Class ticket, you could have gone to the British Airways lounge instead of the lounge Qatar told you to go to?

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I had that thought a little too late. The BA lounge would have been the only one worth while though. Maybe if I ever get the chance to try it again

[@MichaelBSteeleAviation]

@yvr2002rtw This is always a good tip to keep in mind. I do this at LHR and go to the CX lounge instead of the AA or BA business class lounges.

[@madtownbbbear]

Patrick, not sure if anyone ever let you know about that sauce you had with your Spanish tapas but it looked like a Romesco sauce which is made from roasted red peppers, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika and almonds, then pureed until smooth. That macaroni & cheese looked rather bleak and disappointing. "It wasn't the best açai bowl that I ever had,"....listen to you!! ;-) Excellent video (as always!): 9.800

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Ha! Thanks man! Appreciate it

[@ceejae2349]

Thank goodness that on this plane, one is not greeted by an open toilet. It is the grossest thing to see in 99% of reviews. Hopefully one day I’ll get to fly in the suite 🤞🏾🤞🏾

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I hope you get the chance to try out the Q Suites some day!

[@yousefsamara5973]

OHHHHHH, that was almost 80% of thrust at least , what a long takeoff !!!

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

That combined with almost a 100% full flight!

[@johniii8147]

Loaded with passengers, fuel and cargo

[@Krunchy71]

I love your channel, Patrick. The a350 is my favorite plane that I've flown on, but I have to admit I've never been on on the a380. What's your favorite?

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

The A380 is a wonderful aircraft and by far the most quiet, but I think overall cabin feel and appearance I have to vote for the A350

[@r160aexpress5]

The A380 is really nice, its too bad Qatar doesn't fly with one from the US other than Emirates, looking forward to fly first class with them in the far future

[@Dumizulu_Rain]

Great stuff new Subbie here 😊

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Welcome! Thanks!

[@maddoxjake]

Weird question, but what brand are your sweats/joggers? I’m looking for a nicer pair that would be comfy for international travel.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

These are lululemon. I love them and wear them on most long overnight flightd

[@maddoxjake]

@@PatrickSheaAviation Makes sense! Time for me to upgrade for those overnight flights! Really appreciate the answer.

[@Blessed381]

God blessed me to fly Qatar BC and Qatar first class. Just flew Qatar Monday from Atlanta to Doha. My seat was 8k

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

That’s great you were able to save up for that trip! Truly a unique experience when you get to fly the Q Suites

[@Blessed381]

 I have no choice really. I enjoy traveling, a flight in Economy on Dubai, I developed blood clots. That changed to Pulmonary embolism traveled to my lungs, and damaged right side of my heart. I was in ICU and CCU and almost died. A BC seat is cheaper than ICU and CCU. That $6054, I paid for my flight last Monday to Turkey. I REFUSE to leave in two weeks. I will fly back in August

[@Blaze6432]

I was about to book a business class flight for 85 K AA miles but when I went to check out it said it couldn't confirm. It's so sad how annoying the booking process can be as not all flights are always available to book even when they say they are.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I had that happen. I tried playing around with dates and got it to work. Often times, calling customer service can help as they have extra booking tools that may be able to help

[@Susan-md6nd]

There's not as much privacy, as Emerites first class. The doors only go halfway up, where on Emerites they go right up, are fully enclosed👍

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Those floor to ceiling suites are only on Emirates’ renovated cabins. I will say though that these suites are plenty high so that you don’t see people walking past you in the aisle at least

[@shayle6899]

You’re also comparing first class & business class lol

[@rachidlaa8501]

have you ever tried the royal air Maroc ?

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I have! Only ever in economy class, but I really enjoyed it. Some of the better recline I’ve had in economy class and a good entertainment system. I’d love to try it out again

[@drakenie2654]

where to you live

[@jphinnyc]

I actually quit like the music background. It’s catchy. Also, with all of your flying I would have thought you had status on a number of alliances to gain access to other lounges. Even without a status, couldn’t you have gained entry into the JAL and BA lounges by virtue of your business class ticket?

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you! I do have Star Alliance Priority, but I spent all my money on that 🥲 Regarding the JAL and BA lounge, that was an excellent thought… that I had once I was already on board. I did get to visit the JAL lounge on a future flight (that video will be up later this month)

[@OVTraveller]

For the life of me, I cannot understand why American travellers would elect to travel out of the USA on an American airline either east to Europe and beyond or west to Asia and the Middle East. Clearly, a middle eastern airline company will give you value or money rather than be treated like a nuisance on a U S airliner?

[@GemmaNixon]

Toilet spray? 😂😂😂 it’s Eau de Toilette - a perfume! Not oil based which is Eau de Perfume, but a perfume all the same. It is NOT “toilet spray” 😂😂 I hope you used it on yourself as opposed to in the loo after a poop! (Great videos though with so much detail! Thank you 🙏).

[@BoKhalid2009]

i went to Qatar to Los Angeles

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

That’s awesome! The longer the flight is, the more time you have to enjoy everything

[@Barra32]

Squeek squeek

[@jjsmith4829]

the lounge is so underwhelming!

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Agreed! Although fortunately it is just a temporary lounge while Air France builds their new SFO lounge

[@nezyesfandiari1]

Please cut the music background, it is not needed

[@brandonlee4322]

Why does this airline force women off there planes to be stripped search!!!!!!!!!!!!
