Qatar First Class - Best Seat in the House on the A380

[@davidmcneill2924]

The only thing more impressive than the first class experience is Dennis’ ability to put away such a variety and quantity of booze without falling over!

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

and surprisingly I don't drink that much when I'm not flying. Just want to make sure I try everything so you get the full experience on the video :)

I was hoping for a comparison to La Premiere. I think they both exceeded expectation.

[@MrWinelover1]

Thanks Dennis for taking us along on this First Class flight. It probably be the closest I will get to flying first class and it was delight to see the benefits awarded on this flight. I doubt I would pay the extra given the Business Class product is so good, but with unlimited funds I would love to give it a try. A fantastic video, thanks for sharing.

[@jorooney8362]

Denis I will be unlikely to fly 1st class so I adore watching your videos. I love that you don't take flying 1st class for granted.

Love their little Qatar LED candles. Plus the salt and peppers.

Terrific video as always, Dennis! Great to see the A380 alive and well again!

Hi Dennis. Now THAT is what I call flying high ....in style !!! It's great to see how some are lucky enough to fly, definitely a treat, if you can " cheekily" ( as you put it) get the upgrade !😂

FABULOUS video Dennis! WOW 🤩 I thought the Qatar Airways Q-Suite was blingy but the First Class on the Airbus A380 looked even better! As if that’s even possible on Qatar! I hit the 👍 button the second I heard you say “I’ve just upgraded to First Class on the Iconic A380!” 😊 AMAZING ❤️

[@niccarter9025]

I have flown the Qatar A380 First class a few times now on the long haul from Sydney to London. Absolutely love it! The only fault I had was sleeping way too long, and not making the most of it haha.

[@seanp7dc]

Same here. I slept a LOT (more than most flights) due to the awesome QR F comfort, but a mimosa with breakfast didn't hurt ;)

[@ntpryce]

We love seeing your wonderful flight reviews - they're always great. We have been so fortunate to have travelled first class (Etihad) on an A380 long haul flight and agree if you can ever do it, you should. We are booked to do this again (Emirates) in March/April 2023 and can't wait. It is truly a once in a lifetime type of experience. And experiencing a shower on a flight is truly living in the clouds. Thank you.

[@60frederick]

Thank you very much, Dennis, for sharing your wonderful documentary video about your First Class flight with us.

[@highlandersixtysix]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching that, Dennis. You’re absolutely correct, there remains a need and desire for First. I’m trying to book flights to Montreal for October, in First, and it’s not to be had unless I want to transfer through the USA (thanks, but no). I can only hope that it’ll become available as Lufthansa return some more A346 to routes. One small detail, as a Scot and lover of our National beverage… Glenmorangie is pronounced just as in the fruit ‘orange’ [Glenm’orange’ie] 😂 So good to being back to your regular videos, and I always look forward to that notification 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Ah thanks for that - I knew I was likely pronouncing it wrong. It's a good drop.

[@highlandersixtysix]

@@DennisBunnikTravels Have a few more and it'll come to you naturally😉🤣 at least that's been my experience, it's a great little distillery to visit if you get the chance.

Hi Dennis, a great review and I think the upgrade was worth every penny. Kind regards DS

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Great video Dennis! I’m flying QR in March and can’t wait. Btw there is now a fast track security line at SYD near where the old express path used to be. Surely you could have got into the QF lounge (as a OWE too), though? Or had it closed by that time?

[@richardcaldwell9160]

Yeah nah, Dennis is definitely a Business type of guy - cheers

[@rossgwelsh]

Flew Qatar 1st class Sydney to Barcelona a couple of years ago using Qantas points. Was a fantastic experience. In the 1st class lounge at Doha for 12 hours there is a private “hotel “ for long layovers. The customer care is unrivalled. Would love to fly with them again but QFF points availability is non-existent and we cannot afford a revenue flight 😢. Thanks for bringing back memories of that flight 😊.

[@del_travels]

Great video! my wife and I recently flew back in 1st class on the A380 from Sydney to London. It's definitely so much better than their BC and with nobody else in the cabin, privacy definitely wasn't an issue

[@kingcasino5884]

Hi Dennis,love the review,gave us lovely memories of flying business class to Sydney from Doha on the A380 in 2019.to be honest,we thought the Qatar B/C was the bees knees,and flown it many times since. But would certainly like to try first class,just once will do,and with Qatar.👍

[@richryan8904]

Originally from NZ, Dennis??? I sense an accent. As per usual, a cracking review. You’ve helped me make some great choices when I hit the skies. Appreciate you 🙌👌

[@sbor90]

Great video - but one thing to note: despite Qatar's preference for you to use the Air NZ lounge, you were also entitled to access the Qantas First lounge through oneworld Class of Service access rules.

[@Ad-Lo]

We would like to see reviews of other lounges, too, though. 🙂

[@emercycrite]

I would definitely have availed of the Qantas First lounge.

[@jackychan198427]

Fantastic video as usual. In Hong Kong, Finnair boarding pass invites you to use Plaza Premium Lounge instead of CX lounge. Unless you know airline industry and one world privilege, we could be fooled by it. 🤣

[@del_travels]

we used the Qantas lounge when we flew Sydney to London in 1st recently, so much better :)

[@AustralianConsultancy]

Dennis is Qantas WP so he would absolutely had access. Sometimes its good to get into other lounges especially when you have been in the same place for years.

As I exiting the Qatar A380 from my lowly cattle class seat (although I had been lucky enough to get a whole row if four seats to myself on a two-thirds empty flight!) I asked the air crew if I could have a look upstairs in first class. They happily let me and wow, it's lovely. Got a great look around. My, how the 1% live.

[@ILiveInTrees]

Great review. I'm lucky enough to have a few bottles of Ares waiting to be opened. A great drop indeed!

[@gorleegor]

Dennis, the main reason Qatar switches to Air NZ or Marhaba lounges is mainly due to the opening hours of the Qantas lounge may not align up with the QR departure post Covid; although relationship between QF and QR doesn’t seem going well as you mentioned.

[@Deadsurfr]

Awesome review. Flying home from Europe on Lufthansa in September. Hope the offer Fist Class upgrade from Biz class again. Going to jump on it

(Unrelated mostly) But I love the black/white colour scheme of the Air NZ lounge

Not sure if it has changed now, but I also took up the option to upgrade (as per emailed) to Business Class Qatar FRA-SYD - only to discover that this does not give you lounge access!! Thought that was a bit cheap. Otherwise, flying Qsuites is a whole experience.

[@wannabedal-adx458]

Great review as always Dennis. Interesting that the seat is so open. No privacy really to speak of. Also looks like the Qantas or Air France 1st class seat. I would prefer the Etihad, Emirates, or Singapore first class seat, with a closing door.

HI Dennis Firstly wishing you and you family a belated Happy New Year and all good wishes for 2023. Yes this was another one of your very interesting videos and love that services that you got on Qatar Airlines so who do you find the best Qatar Airlines Emirates Airlines Singapore Airlines I suppose it all depends on where you are travelling to and what class you travel.Anyway looking forward to the next one By the way have you ever used Malaysian Airlines I would be very interested on your comments about them

[@Buggsy61]

Very good Dennis. My wife and I used our miles to do the same between Doha and Bangkok last October and as you say iy was an amazing experience - just not long enough at 6:45 hours to get the full experience as you did. I became very partial to the Frapin XO cognac in the bar and had to be shaken awake before we landed in BKK!. Its very hard to go back to chicken farm class after that.

[@sailingnidnoi]

Will try it next weekend

[@killertron33]

your pronunciation of Glenmorangie had me chuckling. 🤣 Great vids though as always

[@dc6924]

I booked a Qatar airways flight from London to the Maldives on the A380 in 1st class so I could have this exact same experience. We even had to fly from the US to catch plane for the itinerary. Then we got there and there had been an equipment change to a 777 without 1st class. I was SOOOOOO disappointed. The Q-Suites were very nice but I really wanted that bucket list experience to fly 1st class in the a380

[@clairedobson2240]

Great video Dennis

[@AustinB747]

Wow, nachos!? That’s a first! Thanks for the video Dennis!

[@AlonsoRules]

As someone who has spent their entire life travelling in cattle class, first class seems but a distant dream for me. Maybe one day! Btw I prefer the Emirates First Class from previous videos. Seems more intimate to me, more space.

[@ClemFandango93]

Make sure you sign up for frequent flyer programs and use their credit card(s) - I‘ve been able to fly First/Biz regularly using only points. Would never pay full price.

Great review, Just one small correction: Qatar Airways flies also Boeing 777s with first class between Doha and Maldives.

@@global_flyer Yep! I have been there. I just wanted to point out the contradiction to the claim on video, that A380 is the only aircraft where Qatar offers first class. Luckily, the soft product is still the same.

[@OVTraveller]

Hi Dennis, thanks for another excellent review , especially after the hiatus of the past two years. Regrettably, Qatar only flies the B 777 from Melbourne to Doha, so no bar visits scheduled for May, but first class is on the cards for a future planned Cairo trip via Doha in September. Cheers and keep on exploring with us watching and learning. Otto

Qatar have a few ex-Cathay 777's which feature a First class cabin and service as well.
