I Go Upstairs And Try Qatar Airways A380 Business Class-Is It Better Than Q Suites?

[@SJF15]

I just got back from Doha, I was on Qatar Airways 777-300 in the Qsuite. It was absolutely brilliant, much better than the standard business seat.

[@irishcockneyrebel]

The whole Qatar A380 business class experience looks incredible. I’m a nervous flyer and videos like these help me conquer my fear - thank you 🙏🛫😃

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi, it was a great experience and one that i would recommend. If you’re a nervous flyer the A380’s are a great one to try as they are very smooth in flight 👍 Thank you for watching 😁

[@Silvio-vh7pn]

Just stumbled on your page. Really like your content and you’re not full of yourself like most of the other airline reviewers 😊 just good, clear and honest material. Great job mate 👍

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi Silvio, thank you so much for the positive feedback and have a great weekend 🙌☀️

[@vincepham3645]

Try the 'new' al mourjan the garden business class lounge, it's nicer, has more showers (not as fancy as in the original lounge), a gym, good view and far far less people (no paid access). Qsuite was great when it was one of a few business class products with a door in the sky. Many airlines have caught up though and I personally find Qsuite pretty cramped. If ANA had more planes with the 'room' it hands down beats Qsuite.

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi Vince, thank you for that information, il definitely give it a try next time 🙌 The room with ANA is also something I need to try asap I just need to get a few more Virgin points before the big splurge 😂 Thank you for watching and have a great weekend 😁

[@ads998]

Did this from Sydney to London and back in 2019 and am seriously considering doing it again next year before the A380 is phased out of Qatar's fleet. It was an unforgettable experience. The quality of the food, the inflight service and that bar area were just beyond anything I've experienced on any other airline. I went to Europe and the UK from Australia last year and made the big mistake of choosing Singapore business over Qatar business to save a few hundred dollars. Trust me, I regretted it. Thanks for the review :)

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi ads, sounds absolutely amazing and thank you for sharing 🙌😁

[@karlplewka9007]

Brilliant video! You perfectly capture the Qatar A380 business class experience 👏🏻 I think I agree with you on preference to Qsuite, the bar is iconic. On my last trip an Aussie guy on his way home for Christmas enjoyed it so much he fell asleep in the loo 😂

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi Karl, thank for your positive feedback 🙌 Thats so funny and of course it had to be an Aussie 🍺🤦‍♂️😂 Thank you for watching and have a great weekend 😁

[@maxthelab8457]

Evening Mark - fab report. I'm defo an A380 fan ( whatever airline it is! Just love the enormity of it all especially as now the 747 is a dying animal. It was always a thrill to sit in the nose of a 747, esp. row 1 knowing you would arrive before the pilots lol ) ). The food in Qatar Business, for sure, is as good and actually in my opinion ways better than BA First. Glad to see you were in much better control of the champs' glass on this flight - no damp trouser issues. Only 3 days now till my spring break, SFO for a week, BA A380 First out and back. For me the Concorde lounge is the best bit! The grub, the champs, and the view - what a day of lux! No idea what the lounge in SFO will offer.................we'll see.

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi. Omg! Row one on the 747 was a dream of mine. I used to go to Manchester most weekends to see the Virgin 747s arrive and depart, they were amazing 🙌 I blame the turbulence for the champagne issues last week 🤦‍♂️😂 Are you on BA285? If so il keep my eye out for you on flight radar 👀😂 Thank you for watching 😁

[@maxthelab8457]

@@tradingplaces787 When I was a little boy in the early 70's I used to rock up by the runway at LHR with my dad and watch all the goings on. 747's were quite new then and I was awe-struck by them. Fast forward 20 years and there I was - parking my arse in the nose of one for the first time, row 1 too!. It was a BA 747 to Mexico City. I really thought I had arrived. However.............that was in the early 90s and by the mid-90s I had advanced my arse to parking it on Concorde every now and then ( LHR _ JFK route ). Now, at that point, I knew I had 'arrived'. Life has been good and we only travel 'upfront' now - you know what they say, when you turn left you can never go back. Don't be too impressed bud...............we run our own business and channel as much as we can through Amex for the Avios, and companion vouchers. We generally get at least 2 or 3 long-haul First returns a year, plus a couple of CE tickets. So far this year we have copped our trip next week, a week in Santiago Chile in Sept ( First rtn 787-9 with BA ) and a trip to Hamburg for the Xmas markets in Dec. We are on BA 285 1/5 departs 10.10 - I'll be in seat 2K for my sins. I'll check out the champs they now serve for you Mark and let you have a score. ( Ps You really must eat your tomatoes as they are really good at warding off cancer in ya plums ).

[@beachboy747]

Team 380, because it is so iconic. Also, I happened to try a sample of Diptyque hand lotion today and really liked it!

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi, great choice 🙌 Diptyque is amazing, I’d never tried it before flying with Qatar either but I’m a huge fan now 😂 Thank you for watching 😁

[@internationAL21]

Just discovered your channel. Congratulations on the content and the excellent production quality. I’ll be fortunate enough to fly the A380 and the Qsuite in the next 10 days (first time in 5 years). Personally I’m on team Qsuite just for the privacy but there’s no denying the magnificence and novelty of the bar on the A380- unfortunately I always get it on the 2am return to London when I have to drive on arrival so never really get to maximise the value out of it…one day!!! Keep up the good work…seriously impressive content so far.

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi Al, thank you so much for the positive feedback it really does mean a lot. Have a wonderful trip, and let me know how it goes 👍 Safe travels and take care 🙌😁

[@JamesJohnston-h5p]

great video was thinking of changing one of my four flights that includes a Q suite on the A350 from the A380 to the 777 but I think your spot on we would regret not trying the A380. Thanks for helping me with will I wont I

Hi James, great to help you reach your decision Have a great flight ✈️😁🙌

[@Airshiw]

Team A380, I never had the chance to fly the A380 on Qatar earlier but I have already flew it twice to Paris and back and 2 times to London in 1 year and hopefully I'll be able to fly to Perth pretty soon on it

[@armychap007]

There's no better start to the weekend than when @tradingplaces787 uploads his trip report! Another great one. Shame about the lounge being over capacity- I really wish airlines would stop cramming passengers in as sadly lounges these days are so crowded and aren't a relaxing or premium place to be unless you fly First Class. It's a really tough call on whether or not the Q-suite or A380 is better as Qatar service and comfort is industry leading in my opinion. Think I'll side with you and choose the A380 for the uniqueness of the bar area. Have a great weekend and safe travels!

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi Armychap, I hope you’ve had a great week🙌Thank you for the support 😁 Regarding the lounge airlines are either selling a lot of lounge passes or the demand for business and first class travel is through the roof and it could be interesting to watch the major airline shares for earnings surprises? 👀 Thank you for watching and have a great weekend 😁👍

[@xxOzzie63xx]

Nice video and informative, however the music is too loud, commentary too quiet and awful music choice. Not sure about the titles in the middle of the screen, better if they were at the bottom of the screen.

[@idanceforpennies281]

The good news is the A380 is not going away until 2030 for the ME 3. The B777-9 is way behind schedule.

[@tradingplaces787]

It certainly is ✈️🙌 The A380 is the best 😁

[@johngalt6708]

The problem with the 380 is that it's way too "open plan" compared to a Q Suite. Qatar's soft product is peerless though.

[@naththeone]

Ref' the snoring, it is so out of your control, you are asleep!! hence the ear plugs given!!! just drop a big fart and call it quits!! hahahhaa x

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi Nath, maybe airlines would then give out nose pegs to go with the ear plugs to tick both boxes 😂 Thank you for watching 😁

Hi David, thank you for the kind words, it really means a lot and I appreciate the sub 🙌 Have a great weekend 🤩

[@richardbutterfield412]

Hi Mark. Wow, I was just one away from winning last week’s prize! Great video as ever. I’m definitely team A380. As you say, there is a real novelty about having access to a spacious bar with amazing hors d’oeuvres like sashimi. Qatar are really a cut above the rest. I flew the B777 from Manchester to Doha on business but your experience looks like it tops mine. Diptyque is a great product. Well, I’m hoping I win next time 😊 As for the snoring, I’d find that hard to tolerate. I always carry wax earplugs from Boots called Muffles in case of such events or screaming babies (in economy). I hope in time we may see you do a review of JAL or ANA. I think you’d really like the Japanese hospitality. Best wishes, R.

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi Richard, the 777 from Manchester to Doha sounds amazing 🙌 You must be located up north like me then? I’m from sunny Stoke on Trent 🤦‍♂️😂 Great idea about the ear plugs, il check them out 👍 I’d love to get on board one of the Japanese carriers, JAL have always been my favourite so hopefully one day soon 🤞 Thank you for watching and have a great week 😁

Team A380, but then I've only ever tried Emirates! You can't beat the sense of space, fab bars and where else can you have a shower on a plane before you land?!

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi John, i totally agree 😁👍 The A380 is a marvel

[@spectralbrickz]

me personally im team q suites. from what I've heard from other sources q suites is a much more luxury service where mattress topper is also included in most flights as well as usually a more extensive selection and personally having my own little suite sounds perfect than a seat with a little privacy. definitely team q asuites could still try a-380 with emirates with they standard one and their game changer in the 777

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi, I agree Q suites are currently top dog and the thing to beat from a seat perspective, I just felt this A380 experience edged it (slightly😬) it’s a very close one though 😂 Thank you for watching and have a great weekend 😁👍

After watching this I now have some decisions to make. Qatar Q suite, Qatar A380-800, or Singapore Airlines A380-800 Australia to London???

Nice review. And really handsome. Snoring is less annoying than crying kids/babies (always being good quality noise cancelling headphones)

[@davidsinn5758]

Snoring is more acceptable than a screaming baby in business class, I've had that a few times and no ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones will block that.

Thanks for the great reviews! I love your charming and honest perspective. I haven't had the pleasure of flying Qatar yet, but I imagine I'd be team 380!

The seats look quite open and exposed. Did you feel that there was enough privacy? I will fly Qatar A380 in Business Class from Doha to Sydney.

[@tradingplaces787]

Hi DC, it was open but I didn’t feel exposed as I spent most of the flight in the bar area 😂🤦‍♂️ Have a great trip and if you can remember let me know how it goes 😁🙌

[@DChatburn1]

Honestly, I wasn't a fan of the A380 business class seats. The cabin felt exposed and there was a lack of privacy. I did enjoy the sky bar, but other than that, I am looking forward to the Q-Suites.

[@MegaSebr]

Lounge review was too short. I missed it when I tried to skip to it.

[@michaelkoowha2039]

Snoring is ok I think. They are relaxed and maybe tired.

As a general rule, I try not to fly Business Class on aircraft that also a First Class product. It makes me suffer from First Class envy. I always have to travel the highest class of service on the flight I am flying.
