Qatar Airways Wins Best Business Class for 2024

Qatar Airways has once been awarded Best Business Class in the AirlineRatings.com 2024 Airline Excellence Awards.

Qatar Airways business class “Qsuite” is simply the best in the industry and is available on the majority of its long-range Boeing 777 and A350 fleet. The Qsuite is also being rolled out in its 787s.

What makes Qatar's QSuite so special?

The spacious, private, well-designed business-class suite is packed with features designed to make travel more productive and comfortable. Such features include a sliding privacy door, a giant 21.5-inch high-definition touchscreen that is both crisp and responsive, generous secure storage compartment underneath the big padded armrest plus enough room to sprawl out comfortably with your feet on the ottoman.

Another attractive feature of the QSuites is movable panels that will allow you to transform your space into a social area, allowing you to work, dine or socialise at 40,000 feet.

A full countertop is big enough to cope with magazines, menus, spare pillows, and other bits and pieces. Underneath is a lit shelf for parking laptops and tablets.

Variable seat controls allow you to recline or move the seat forward and backwards and adjust lumbar support. There are four presets: lie flat, fully upright, take off, and recline.

Options for charging devices include an illuminated USB port and a PowerPoint. A second USB port and an HDMI connection are around the corner.

The airline has an on-demand system for ordering meals, snacks and beverages, but Qatar’s attentive and personable cabin crew regularly ask if anything is needed.

AirlineRatings.com editor-in-chief Geoffrey Thomas said.

“Qsuite is a first-class experience in business class. It leaves nothing to chance, and our judges rated it as the best overall business-class product they had seen that is now being copied by others. It sets a standard to which some airlines can only aspire.’’
