The new Qsuite is impressive, and I particularly liked the two-person window suite and personal safe. Qatar Airways hoped to debut the next generation of its famous Qsuite business class last year — with lockable drawers and two-person window suites — but it still hasn't flown a single passenger. The Doha-based airline unveiled its reinvented Qsuite at the UK's Farnborough Airshow in 2024, promising a new level of luxury for its Boeing 777-9 jets by 2025. The 777-9 is the larger variant of the 777X. But Boeing's new widebody still isn't certified. The 777X is seven years behind its original schedule, while Boeing continues to grapple with safety, quality, production, and supply-chain problems. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said at a September Morgan Stanley conference that the 777-9 was still on track for 2027, but an engine issue discovered earlier this year could slightly push the timeline.

As a frequent flyer who often flies in business class on Middle Eastern airlines, I was impressed by Etihad's new first- and business-class cabins. Etihad Airways is bringing a new aircraft to its fleet in 2027, and I got an early look at what its premium seats will be like. At Dubai's annual Arabian Travel Market trade show in September, the UAE airline unveiled mock-ups of the new first- and business-class cabins planned for its future Airbus A330neos. Etihad said the first of 15 new A330neos will enter service in September 2027, serving regional and medium-haul routes from its Abu Dhabi hub. There are just four first-class suites, followed by 24 business class seats. Both cabins have privacy doors, lie-flat seats, 4K screens, Bluetooth connectivity, and wireless charging. It's notable that Etihad is continuing to expand First beyond its flagship Airbus A380s. The choice makes sense, as the post-COVID premium travel boom continues to drive global airline revenue. Sitting inside the future A330neo cabins revealed much about how Etihad maximized space, as well as a few trade-offs that weren't immediately apparent. Here are eight things that stood out most.
