It’s rather epic! Full video on the channel of the first 😃

It’s such a good seat right! How as the food?

How come? 😊

@ last business class flight: I was served kosher, not sure why, and the plate had nothing on it. Nothing. No explanation. Recently I booked economy plus through DELTA, refundable ticket. DELTA put me on KLM. I paid for lounge access through KLM, as well as airport parking, through KLM. I ultimately had to cancel. Even though I received the refund through DELTA, KLM only refunded me for the airport parking, but not lounge access. They had no explanation. They don’t care. To be honest their customer service is garbage and their third world customer service representatives represent just that: third world. I forgot to mention a trans flight attendant who was flirting with me in business once. Just not appropriate but this is how they presented themselves to me. I have no apologies. Don’t even get me started on how they handled operations during the pandemic. Even though I had a negative COVID result, they still tried to prevent me from boarding my second flight in transit with them, which almost left me stuck in Amsterdam, additionally I almost lost my job, because some short and nasty white woman in a KLM uniform at Schipol wanted to flex her power. Utter disaster. And I have to fly with them next month in business again…

Looking at their latest offerings, they have a bright future ahead, I’d love to return with them into the future when the latest seats are rolled out across the fleet. Exciting one for the future perhaps…

Thank you!

You’re very welcome! Yeah, they’ve got some super deals at the moment. I also bulked at the seat selection fee and hoped to get lucky with the window seat! Hope you have a fab trip!

@Travelsbydreamer Thanks!! 😁

Yeah indeed!

Yeah for sure. Can’t imagine those 777’s will be around too much longer surely…

Hope you’ve managed to bag a window seat!

@Travelsbydreamer flying with the missis , ended up with the middle.

@@Mark.Claughton Oh no!

Same bait and switch for me and I had paid to reserve a seat but that didn’t matter. Ugh.

Harsh but perhaps not totally unfair given certain aspects of the hard product offering…

Thorough the airwaves maybe 😅

Yes indeed, as ever so important. On this trip it was part of a big code share ticket which was excellent value

Possibly, or just didn’t show them on this one. I’ve seen them a few times so can verify this. A nice touch for sure 👌

Thanks so much! I’ll check the volume :)

Took one for the team perhaps with this one!

Hahaha, could have consequences if too spicy 😅

You’re very welcome! I do wonder whether you might be better off opting for an emergency exit row instead, are they available also? The upper deck seats are great but don’t haha any additional legroom vs those on the main deck, I’d just worry a little bit about legroom for you. It’s a nice separate cabin however and I love the feeling of width by the windows so it’s great but I’d think about an extra legroom seat I think…

@@Travelsbydreamerthanks for the reply mate. Yeah exit row seats are okay but I’m a former pro rugby player so my legs are thick… so sitting in exit row seats are very narrow. I like to spread my legs (non exotic 😭) The barriers in exit rows are annoying because you cannot lift the arm rests. I guess I’ll see need to suck it up or pay for the “tall tax”. I often find standard seats more comfortable cause I can spread legs, especially isle or 2 seat formats. I guess I’ll never get best of both worlds unless I was able to fly Business all the time! Cheers mate

@ ahhh yep that makes sense, that factor in the exit row seats is tricky for sure! You could always try a sector on the upper deck and then see if you can upgrade at the gate for the later ones if it’s worth it, high risk but might save you a little if it’s not really worth your while etc. Just hope you get a nice quiet flight so you can spread out over a few seats!

Couldn’t remember specially with emirates however, with most airlines it’s a yes.

If that’s ever the case I generally stay well clear of it. Up to a 50% premium on top of economy I generally go for, if any more then business or economy for me :)

Would be great to try out their new gen A350 but seems like they’ve got such a long way to go in getting the older look interiors out of the fleet…perhaps one to watch for the future. Don’t think I’d go an entire booking with them…glad it was just a segment I think!

The design leaves a lot to be desired 😅

Thank you! Hmmm, really tricky to say, some of the 787’s had been going through (starting with the older -8’s). Given the issues they’re also having on the 787 fleet I wouldn’t be too sure though I must say, hope you have a fab flight!

Hope you love the ship!

Cheers to that!

The better ones can be a great start to the journey or transit experience if you have time, does depend a little bit though 😊

😃

Noted

Thank you! 🙏

Yeah, they’re old birds for sure. I’m not a huge fan of travelling on them. Noisy and dry…

But not for vertical content 🤣 Think before posting… Longer reviews available on the channel

@ but for full screen content it really good, you think before posting

So glad to hear it was useful! Qatar always a pleasure to fly with in my experience Q suite or not. Sadly no Qantas on the channel though, I’ve flown with them but that pre dated the channel sadly! Hope you have an amazing trip ✈️

Thank you so much for your quick and friendly response. All your videos have been perfect for getting a good overview, and in the end the right choice depends on your own priorities, and between them BA & Qatar appear to have them covered. 🙋‍♀️🤗✈

@ you’re very welcome!

Enjoy!

Means the world, thanks so much! Hope to have you back on the channel soon!

You’re very welcome. Yeah, either that or across the aisle from each other, I’ve never been a fan of the 2 onboard seats with this design :)

A good overall showing from them for sure I’d say, I’d be keen to fly more with them given the chance

Whilst I’m flattered you believe this review was from an official Qatar airways account, let me introduce my channel and perhaps explain how KZbin works . I, like other reviews you’ve seen are from independent content creators. Qatar have long been one of the worlds leading carriers and the experiences I’ve had have been nothing short of exceptional each and every time, hence that’s what I reflect. Within the world of airline reviews, they’ll always be a range of reviews, for a variety of reasons.

Haha love the champagne service!

Welcome onboard! You should see the video linked at the bottom of the screen, otherwise, you can also click over to my channel, the video was uploaded around 8 months ago. Width wise I’d say premium economy adds a good bit of room and additionally what I really do like is that there’s more of a physical divider between the seats so your space is kept just for you 😃

Thanks very much. I don’t recall it being any more so no, certain airlines this is indeed the case but I don’t think it’s something Qatar ever does. As for the aircraft changes, it’s largely out of anyone’s control, just got to hope if you’re already booked on. Perhaps you could go with a flexible ticket if it’s really important to you however that would be a huge price to pay to protect against a swap…

Glad it all worked out in the end!

Glad it was useful and very much agreed!

Well worth trying one day for sure. Yes, all complimentary. That’s the case in most lounges however, aware some of the more generic ones in places charge.

I think so yes…

It’s a fairly average offering just now. That said, you’d be hard pressed to find much in the way of amenities in the modern day economy cabin outside perhaps a very select few carriers such as Etihad etc. Tricky when going west from the UK, perhaps JetBlue/Virgin currently the best offering…

Not in PE thankfully! 😅

Yeah, I’d say so just now!
