GROUP THERAPY
This may be the nearest way to fly in private-jet style without leaving the business cabin. Qatar Airways’ new QSuite has removable privacy screens, mobile video screens and enough space to create semi-private sanctuaries for groups of four – perfect for families, friends or workshopping colleagues. The first business-class double bed in the sky, created by adjacent lie-flat beds, is even better. To suit the new communal set-up, rolling out from June this year, Qatar’s dine-on-demand menu has been extended to include sharing plates. QSuite flyers also have cotton pyjamas by The White Company and skincare products by Italian house Castello Monte Vibiano. qatarairways.com
