789 has a larger overall capacity compared to a 787-8 or a non suite 359.
789 - J30 E281 total - 311
788 - J22 E232 total - 254
359 - J36 E247 total - 283
October is a long way off and things can change. Qatar, as we know like to mix up aircraft used. It may also be the case that it will take longer than anticipated to reintroduce the A359’s following the remedial work. A 789 still offers a decent number of premium seats and a hefty number of cattle class seats.
