Qatar Airways offers DOUBLE BEDS for business class passengers

Those wishing for an extra dose of comfort on long haul flights can sleep easy; help is on the way.

Qatar Airways has announced it is launching the world’s first double beds for business class airline passengers.

Customers flying from London to Doha will be able to create their own double bed by removing privacy panels.

And up to four passengers travelling together are also able to transform their seats to form a "suit" so families, friends or colleagues can dine and socialise together.

The ‘Qsuite’ service, which will be offered on the daily Boeing 777 service from London Heathrow, will provide “unprecedented level of luxury".

The carrier's senior vice president for Europe Jonathan Harding said the cabins as a "first class product in business class".

He said: "It's a revolutionary, brand new, game-changing product which we are going to roll out across our business class fleet, raising the business class experience to a new level.

"We have the first double bed in the sky so people travelling together are able to avail themselves of that.

"If you're travelling by yourself you get privacy, particularly in one of our window seats, but our quads can be configured in a way that is very flexible and comfortable."

Aviation analyst Alex Macheras said Qsuite is "the best business class in the skies today" and praised its "very comfortable bed, beautiful on-board decor and furnishings".

He added: "I'd fly Qsuite over heaps of other first class products in the industry."

Qsuite has been launched on flights from Heathrow and will be rolled out next to Paris and New York.
