Does Qatar A350 have first class?

That's because Qatar first class is only found on one aircraft type: the A380, the double-decker Airbus-manufactured plane that is no longer being produced. Qatar only restarted service on the A380 because of a shortage of aircraft during the pandemic, notably issues with the Airbus A350 fleet.

'Comfort gets you access to the Preferred seats for free which is such things as upper A380 deck (and boy would I pay for that on the above routing) and also slots like the bulkhead/exit row extra legroom seating' I too would pay extra to sit on the UD of a 380.

To sum up my experience with Qatar Airways in business class I would say that it was an awesome experience. If you save for the extra expense, or accumulate enough miles for an upgrade, or your company covers the travel expense, then definitely give it a go.
