[@theart8039]

I wish I could sleep like that...great review btw

[@lewis02754]

The a350 900 has the same business class as the Dreamliner.

[@Paul_Lucas]

Gamer lady vs Gamer dude Not all of them do. Some newer -900s now have QSuites too.

[@alexboshaw]

thank you for a great review. I'm sure that we all miss being able to fly. Stay safe and healthy and hopefully this quarantine will end soon!

[@AleksFolk1]

Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas there’s also the SQ288 that flies the SYD-CBR-SIN-SYD loop on a daily basis as well. This replaced the SQ ‘Capital Express’ service that did SIN-CBR-WLG-CBR-SIN with 5th freedom rights. But those 2 are the only international flights currently operating to CBR. With driving to Sydney only taking about 2.5 hours, there’s very little need to have to fly from Canberra. Considering transfer from domestic to international, check in, flight duration, and distance to the airport from northern parts of Canberra, you may as well just drive to Sydney to catch your flight.

[@DAN420.]

The reason I watch this channel. Paul is clear and concise, Has no moronic gimmicks like making stupid noises etc, No jump edits every two words. Is very honest. Good work Paul, safe travels.

[@jcspotter7322]

What av channel has those gimmicks?

[@travelmentaryTV]

Very impressive product by Qatar Airways. But given the situation we’re in, even a flight with Ryanair seems like something special :D.

[@nathanaelhalim8191]

So true...

[@lone8869]

😀

[@anakinskywalker7703]

Nigel Marvin me to man me to

[@ericjamieson]

I love the detail of the Australian immigration agents being like "but why Canberra though?"

[@scttschwartz]

Bob Brewer Qatar doesn’t actually want to serve Canberra. It does it so it can get a third daily slot at Sydney since the government would only permit it to take more slots from secondary cities.

[@brucie-of-bangor528]

Immigration agents? Actyally we call them Border Farce, and they are led by an utterly incompetent Cabinet Minister

[@peterscandlyn]

@@bobbrewer5182 Yes was going to add that Singapore operates thru Canberra Bob.

[@herenow6953]

Having been to Canberra, it's a reasonable question ;)

[@jasminejohnston6393]

Well it beats Canada’s CBSA- they found marijuana in baby formula cans

[@HS-PGX]

6:30 I loved having this flying together as a family of four. We felt like it was our own little world there!

[@Flyinghigh0]

Is it just me or does anyone else really hate the idea of flying backwards? I don't think it's for me. Yet another great video from Paul, can't wait to see the onwards journey. Keep it up.

[@ericjamieson]

Yeah it's funny because I have no problem sitting backwards on a train like some people do, but flying sitting backwards seems really uncomfortable.

[@marklewis9146]

I've flown Qatar Q suite backwards, it's slightly odd taking off and landing, especially if you're watching the outside camera, but once airborne it's no different at all

[@AviationRailAdventures]

Personally, I love the idea of flying backwards being an avgeek...

[@christalbot210]

Many, MANY moons ago, I took a flight on Southwest which had rearward facing seats. I decided to try it for novelty sake. Like somebody else said, take off and landing were a bit odd, but otherwise there was no real issue.

[@egpx]

No problem facing backwards on a flight. Done it several times with BA. In fact it is supposedly safer than facing forward. The RAF always used to have rearward facing seats in their transport aircraft.

[@alexosborne5629]

Who framed Roger Rabbit ???? One frame was all it took 😉 Enjoying that film shows your vintage Paul!!!!!

[@its_not_it_apostrophe_s]

Animation directed by the late, great Richard Williams.

[@d0lph1n63]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit which kick started the Disney renaissance.

[@morganmartin7543]

Ik right 😭 one frame

[@korgbrager3340]

“Doha airport has an indoor transit system which has - pointless may I add, glass ceilings. So you can look at... another ceiling. Perhaps that’s a metaphor for life itself, but I digress”. Cracked me up, how insightful for a flight review! 😂 8:20am on a Saturday morning and need to escapeeeeee!

[@malc380]

This lockdown has finally allowed me to finish watching everything you have produced on here! WOW so many journeys and so much beef lol. Loved every minute of it too! Keep up the great entertainment please. :)

[@6erry]

YES, when I flew to Qatar the first time our family went on the Qsuite. It was a very nice experience, being able to talk with your family as if you were in a lounge was a new experience.

[@cameronreid3226]

7:22 me trying to make new recipes during quarantine

[@lapsedrevolutionary]

Delighted to see this video up - a month ago I booked onto the A35K in Qsuites Doha-Tokyo and I am now - if that were possible - even more excited for it. Thanks a lot Paul!

[@iqbalchuvan4890]

A window in the lavatory is always amazing😂

[@swansbear]

What if the birds can see in?

[@benharrrisss]

Great video Paul. I live in Canberra so it’s very exciting that a flight blogger has finally landed here. I hope you enjoyed the city. Stay safe

[@toddburgess8285]

Also, those flying to Canberra could be coming to see the Raiders play at home. The stadium is about 3 miles, just under 5km from where I lived in the mid to late 70s, though it and they weren’t there then.

[@keeshdawg]

Glad you got to experience Qsuites! I was able to check them out recently to Atlanta on a 777. Absolutely amazing!

[@bobbrewer5182]

Awesome to hear that you came to Canberra, Paul. I hope you had time to visit our awesome city. If not, and you come back again one day, feel free to send me a message, I can organise a tour of our area. Despite Canberra being a Government centre, we do have people here unrelated to Government, and quite a few tourist attractions. In my job as a taxi driver, I deal with a lot of tourists. Correction though, we have two international flights, a Singapore Airlines flight that goes Sin-Syd-Cbr-Sin (SQ288) lands in Canberra around 9:30/10:30 at night depending on summer or winter time. Sadly, due to COVID-19 both of our international flights have been suspended for a few months though.

[@irishmaninflorida1608]

It's a terribly boring city full of suits.

[@tshiololiai6135]

I really liked your video ! I enjoy flight reviews videos when the person is talking and explaining things. I really loved it !

[@scottylawrie]

Great review Paul, thanks! Great memories for me too . Flew the Q Suite for the first time on a TP run to Singapore via Sofia and Doha to stay with my friend in Feb (seems like a lifetime ago now!!). It’s such a great product. I tried both the forward and rearward facing seats and did favour the rear facing one for the extra privacy. Always love Qatar and their crews. On my way back to the UK from via Sofia I was the only one in business class one of their A321’s and was literally treated like a king! The crew couldn’t have done more for me. Roll on all of this being over so we can get back in the sky 🤞.

[@PeteRansom]

Nothing beats looking out of the window on a plane as the sun rises over Australia. This brought back great memories of travelling to Sydney last year and experiencing QSuite for the first time. Great vid as usual!

[@Crazibaz]

Best business class you have ever flown ! , quite a statement with your backlog of business flights

[@thethailandcelt8394]

I loved it Paul, you know I admire and respect what you do. This one really touched me as I travel to the far twice yearly with Qatar in economy. Brilliant coverage of the QSuite thank you.

[@benwilson9150]

I have been so looking forward to your Australia flights!! Great review, I don’t think there is a person the hasn’t liked Q Suite, I hope to fly it one day

[@johnathanawerbku6043]

Amazing! Can’t believe they have a Business class like that!

[@M_O1997]

Seems like an incredible product.. Loved the detail! Fantastic review!

[@60frederick]

That with the teddy bears was so funny! Thank you for sharing your video with us.

[@sjm18pars]

That panorama of the boarding area at 4:50 into the video, i just cant see the day we ever return to that madness.

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Amazing review! Looks like tons of fun. Thanks for sharing. All the best. Stay safe

[@pascalplato6869]

Great video Paul. I absolutely love to watch your videos, you're so calm..

[@KEITHGEE1000]

Brilliant as always, Paul. Looking forward to the following trip videos.

[@katrynamcintyre5687]

Sept 2, 2020: Hi Paul! I found your videos accidentally and have enjoyed them immensely. You seem like a nice guy who approaches traveling from a pleasant perspective. I've given up on my search for employment after 3 years (three grad degrees), so traveling for fun at 63 sounds like fun. Life goes on! Thanks very much, Kate

[@martinbaker6532]

I had the first time pleasure of the A350 QSuite on 2nd leg of SYD > LHR last month and it is hands down the best business class I’ve done. I couldn’t fault anything about the experience. I particularly liked the way the seat was adjustable forwards and back so you can get closer to the table if working with a laptop.

[@tammypearson4500]

Beautiful airplane ✈ and superb business class! Great video! A pleasure to watch you during this stay at home time!

[@flipboerrigter8619]

Awesome coverage Paul! I'm a big fan of your movies. Doing a great job! Especially in these tough times you make your followers very happy! Cheers!

[@charlescampion9898]

Q suite should be on everyone's bucket list . Lucky enough to do London-Adelaide-London just before Lockdown. Simple awesome and a real part of the amazing holiday experience.

[@corykreggman8935]

‘How to I combat jet lag?’ Melatonin.

[@FlyingDryden]

Great review! I've tested the Qsuite and I can just agree - a excellent product!

[@loesepoes18]

Again a great video Paul. Thank you! I hope one day i can fly in the Q suite..... Tale care and stay safe🍀 greetings from the Netherlands🇱🇺

[@alexandergarland77]

20 minutes of pure relaxation and fun I enjoyed the flight paul

[@joansmith3296]

Wow! Thank you Paul. I didn't expect to see you for quite awhile. This virus must be harder for travelers like you than it is for those of us not in the business of flying for a living. Thanks, kepp your hand sanitizer handy and we'll see you soon. Great video.

[@allanduncan6852]

Good to see Doha again! Remember landing there when it was a fuel bowser and a basic transit terminal.

[@TripReportaviation]

great trip report! I love the cabin mood light, looks so relaxed

[@NoWay23548]

I laughed heartily at the teddy bear joke, and thought of your childhood fear of the Mumin troll from Finland. 😄

[@fly2golf985]

Qatar hogs the entire Doha Airport Other airlines: My lord is that legal? Qatar: I'll make it legal

[@ourmando]

Is this.. a prequel meme? A suprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@visionist7]

The chancellor should never have brought them into this. Kill them immediately!

[@bubbacalling]

These videos make me happy, hoping that once again I can travel by air. Thanks Paul.

[@thecornells7430]

Great video Paul. Keeps us sane during lock down! 👍

[@simmer484]

great that you are still posting videos. It's a welcome escape from you know what.

[@jackvisser]

Well Done Paul TY for the excellent Videos (Stay Safe and Happy )

[@epicfighter0572]

Love you're videos keep it up!

[@betzjan27NRN]

what an amazing trip report, thanks for sharing, and stay healthy

[@torquesteer2657]

Love these videos! What an experience

[@alancampbell6339]

New subscriber after your channel was recommended to me by KZbin. I have only flown upper class once and that was a treat my wife and I did in 2018 from Manchester to Orlando with Virgin Atlantic and I was so impressed but this was on another level all together. I shall look forward to catch up on previous pre-COVID trips.

[@Putko007]

Excellent and perfect review. Thanks !

[@jeremymuther8656]

Looks amazing have never flown them before guess I have to now 🔥🔥😉

[@RobertMorrey]

Their lemon mint tea is a amazing!!

[@oliverhorn3983]

so grateful for your comments about the lounge in Doha - I thought I was the only one who thought so! Thank you for the report!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Agree that bear is weird! Looks a great experience. We haven't visited Australia yet but hope to when we can all travel again. Thanks for a really informative video.

[@mikegoldbey6186]

Great review and totally jealous that you get to try that product.

[@NavigatoTravels]

Wow that looks gorgeous good video great job!

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always. They sure love their B 717 and Fokker F-70 and F-100 down under.

[@dreamav8161]

Great review Paul

[@davidwhitehead5134]

Have been waiting for this video. 😊😊

[@lebored8264]

Wow, your video makes me want to fly business class on Qatar. Especially love the closeable cabin.

[@AndrewHazelleTravels]

Heyy Paul! Yess Q-Suite 😍

[@Jenth23]

I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@daveu88sanderson8]

Hi Paul What a great review, never flown with Qatar Airways to OZ, I will certainly take a look at them in future. Keep up the great reviews. Kind regards DS

[@michaelhaaser5925]

Bucket list flight. Awesome video!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, awesome video as always Paul! That looked like an amazing product!😸😸

[@ryanfrisby7389]

@Daniel Hernandez Oh, hi Daniel, I feel like I know you from somewhere lol!

[@johncollier608]

Qatar have always been good and thanks for sharing the new terminal and lounge, as you promised you would! Like you, I prefer the more exclusive feel, not the vastness you discovered. But hey, that is a minor detail when you the main event is the flight. "the best business class I've ever flown" is praise indeed and looks deserved. Can't wait to see the rest of your journey.

[@PilotWanderlust]

Great review! Well done! Love the Q Suite!

[@carlmaster9690]

This is a proper 21st Century Business Class Cabin! Well suited for both the business traveller and wealthy tourist! That said, great work as always! Very informative and enjoyable.

[@benjones622]

Great vid Paul Bizarre that ive always touched the seal of the outer door when i get onto a plane also for luck!

[@ragamuffin1985]

Who framed Roger Rabbit... Classic. I think it and TMNT are 2 of the first movies I remember from my childhood. Cheers for the video Paul, great watch.

[@cardiffflyer]

Q Suite looks amazing!

[@stellarossaCPCU]

Great review, Paul!

[@mridul1608]

Really liked your flight report. Qatar Q-Suites looked amazing and marvellous.

[@thethailandcelt8394]

I flew Qatar Hamed to Edinburgh in Business on 02/03/2020, unfortunately not the Qsuite but Wow. Many many "un,s" , unbelievable service, unrivalled food and presentation, unforgettable experience with unimaginable comfort. Wow, just wow

[@michaelhannah7189]

I slept on a super VC 10 from Trinidad to Heathrow BOAC IN 1971 in first class. Loved the food loved the silence and hated the lack of space

[@jamessmith6402]

Looks fabulous great video 👍 thanks Paul

[@richardnei]

Great Trip Report as always Paul! Certainly seems like a strange final destination for Qatar. There Q Suites are amazing, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford travelling in it. I can only hope. Looking forward to the next video.

[@kenshores9900]

Paul: like your reviews and the video. The expression on your face said it all about the Qatar signature drink. I have learned a lot about the best ways to travel from the states to The UK or Australia. I travelled on a BA flight from Austin, Tx to London nonstop in business. There were no reclining seats to a bed. The service was better than domestic carriers. Thanks and keep it up.

[@zeroman215]

Glad you've finally gotten to visit my country, Paul! You are right, those bushfires do feel like a long time ago now, although I'm sure those whom were more affected would say otherwise and rightfully so. Seeing that footage of you coming into Sydney reminded me of when I returned home from Japan back to Sydney in late November. I assigned myself a seat on the left hand side so I could see my hometown from the air during the descent. Sadly this wasn't possible given the smoke cover. At first, I thought it was some sort of fog but with further thought, figured it was smoke. The smoke began to get worse a few days after I returned from memory. Still, the flight was a pleasure. Fourth time on All Nippon Airways and my second time in their Premium Economy on their Boeing 787-9, always a treat. I got a giggle over the anecdote about the immigration officials in Canberra wondering why you decided to enter the country through there instead of Sydney. I don't think the concept of a cheaper fare would come to their mind all too often. I believe Singapore Airlines operates, or perhaps now, operated a flight between Singapore-Canberra-Wellington dubbed the "Capital Shuttle", or something like that too. I've never been to Canberra myself. We usually get the opportunity during school where I live, but I always opted out. I did enjoy your take on the much hyped Q Suites. I hadn't read up much negative points about it besides those that have a habit of moving around their space too much during the flight allowing for some light bruising. Similar to you, I think that my chances of ever visiting Europe someday are close to zero, but maybe not so much in the near future. Please take care. I'm looking forward to your uploads each week. They're always a treat to relax to after a day's work.

[@bobbrewer5182]

Kane Yasa Singapore Airlines replaced the Wellington flight with a Sin-Syd-Cbr-Sin flight either 2018 or 2019. The Capital Express, as it was known, got changed to Sin-Mel-Wlg.

[@Thailandescapades]

could be some very lean months ahead for you Paul and all the other aviation vloggers....good luck mate

[@Samuel-ge7im]

Awesome review!

[@TheByard]

I used to fly Qatar on company flights Saigon - London in the days of the bus terminal transfer. Then started using Business class and the transfer was by limo. Loved the new lounges as I used the showers first, then had a freshly cooked steak. Yes I agree steaks and lumps of beef never taste right on a plane. Once retired I priced other airlines and Emirates came in a lot cheaper, also fly into Birmingham and off a limo service both ways. All flights by B777 and A380. I just love the A380 and will cry if their taken out of service and that's the reason I'm checking theA350. Thanks for the excellent Vlog, take care.

[@danmccarthy4700]

I'm even more envious of your ability to meter your sleep like that than I am of your awesome travels. :)

[@lawrencesullivan3740]

Completely agree with you about the Qatar lounge. Next time I will go to Harrods for a scone.

[@mickwilson127]

Do you get a 240v socket? I need to use a portable O2 concentrator which needs to plug in on long flights.

[@Flyhighcharleston]

Nice trip report sir :))

[@Calebs_Aviation]

First thing at 0:58 in the video the bear is freaky! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO PAUL! I’ve probably rewatched it 500 times now! I CANNOT WAIT to fly with Qatar 🇶🇦 Airways someday especially if heading to Australia 🇦🇺 hopefully!Also the food on Qatar in Business Class seems INCREDIBLE and TASTY 😋 and the Q-Suite is amazing looking too! 😊 I love this entire Australia series too!Finally at 4:29 there is absolutely NOTHING WORSE than dots on airport terminal windows! You cannot see the planes and it reminds me a lot of the #dumbdetroitdots on the windows at the A terminal at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) my home airport here in the USA 🇺🇸 Cheers mate! 🥂 Great video! 🎉🎉 ✈️

[@Hispandinavian]

I flew on Qatar Airways last January. I was in the Sit Down and Be Quiet section, aka coach. My layover in Doha was just a couple hours, so I didn't have much time to look around. My flight was connecting from Capetown South Africa, going to Birmingham England. Even for coach it was a smooth flight. I'd use Qatar Airways again.

[@pasu129]

Who doesn’t love Baby Herman and Roger Rabbit? Raul’s acting is by far the best out of all three!

[@JoshDoesTravel]

15:58 I believe that is Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

[@intisaber4984]

Great vid Paul.

[@theresafennelly8580]

I am using surfshark to book flights to Singapore just wondering if I am using a Japan as my address but we live in Ireland will we get stung on currency exchange first time to use it, any advice

[@oliverthomas7648]

That lamp bear is straight out of coraline with those button eyes!

[@1078benny]

Glad you finally made it down under Paul - hope you enjoyed your time here. Although those bush fires and smoke were by far the worst we've seen on record. Certainly not your typical classic Aussie Summer. Hopefully will never happen again. Interesting you chose to enter via Canberra. Qatar Q-Suites look impressive. Can't wait to see your Indian-Pacific report.

[@tsrgoinc]

When I went to Oz back in 2006, I wish I had that! 13 hours to Hong Kong, get off the plane, queue up down a ramp for 55 minutes to get a piece of laminated paper as you got through a metal detector back to the gate area so that 35 minutes you get back on the same plane, giving up you laminated paper, to travel 11 hours to Melbourne arriving 11:15pm Saturday night when you took off at 12pm on the Friday! 😖

[@naturallyherb]

Really awesome!

[@coashddjj2]

That look on your face after trying the lemon mint drink > 😄

[@johnclauder615]

To be able to sleep at will ... how lucky you are ! Enjoyed your video as usual.
