Flying on Qatar Airways B747-8 Cargo Plane

I traveled on Qatar Airways Cargo B747-8F from Hong Kong to Doha. This video shares a rare insight into the airline cargo business. I documented all cargo loading and operation activities in Hong Kong before flying on the Qatar Airways 747-8 cargo plane to Doha.
In the video, all the cargo operation activities were highlighted and you can see how cargo flight differ to the passenger flight. After landing in Doha, I got to visit the Qatar Airways Cargo facilities.

Very interesting and watching that iconic 747 take off from the cockpit was incredible. Fantastic. One the really surprising things is that the staff on this flight were as polite and genuine and lovely as the fa's on my recent long haul q suite journey from Mel to Doh. Qatar really invests in its people. Strange to think after so many 747 journeys in my 59 years that i probably won't fly on one again.
