Qatar Airways A330 Business Class Doha to Maldives (+ PHENOMENAL Al Mourjan lounge)

[@nelsoncabrera6464]

My pre-bed routine: drink warm milk, brush teeth and watch a Luxury Travel Expert video. Never fails to soothe me to sleep. :) I think I might be addicted.

[@dailyplanet8817]

It feels like I'm there in the video whenever I watched it

[@TheDricavasa]

OMG!!!!! The Lounge is a dream, the music you play in your videos are great and can't wait to see the hotels you've mentioned!!! WOW!!!! Enjoy you stay!!!! God bless!!!!

[@ibtehazahmad]

Traveled to Doha from Dhaka in the same aircraft. The service from the cabin crew is absolutely fantastic Gotta love Qatar airways!

[@Nasirali-tx6zj]

Today is my first day to visit your channel. I don't found another you tube channel like this. So nice

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thanks and welcome

[@Nasirali-tx6zj]

@@luxurytravelexpert it's my pleasure

[@Whenitraveltheworld]

Great report as always. Simply amazing approach to watch into Maldives. Thanks for posting.

[@airfabio777X]

I love this cabin for the A330 even window seat passenger doesn't have direct aisle access. A good product with stylish 👍🏼

[@LisaAnn164]

The Maldives is DEFINITELY on my bucket list....for CERTAIN!!!!😀😀😀😀

[@Ddiakova]

I am planning an upgrade on the same flight on the same plane in Feb next year, so I found your video and I wanted to thank you for the in-depth review :) Really helped me make my choice :)

[@LisaAnn164]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Especially the music being played at 19:21. I wish that someone...ANYONE... knew the name of the music playing during the LANDING approach. This is driving me crazy!!!!

[@ranozziinlove]

i stayed the Jumeirah D. during my honeymoon... amazing and so romantic. That sensation of void at night, with the sky full of stars ...yep! i want to keep this last image just before i die. Thanks!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I will publish my Jumeirah Dhevanafushi clip next week. It is a magnificent resort indeed!

[@iqbalchuvan4890]

Superb video! I love that you give us a lot of information on the subtitle

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The clips would be quite boring without the subtitles :-)

[@NomiSyed1]

Wow.. surreal. My wife and I plan to take a trip to Maldives this year. I'll be looking forward to your hotel reviews.. love the final 3 minutes. What a sight to see just before I sleep.

[@extraaccount2295]

Amazing! Qatar airways made this journey much better ! Hats off to those pilots 😌

[@dagmarpocobelli6669]

In 1983 I visited my friends in Sri Lanka. Returning to Munich we went to Maldives to pick up some more passengers. Landing I saw at the right side water and at the left side water. Very impressionable to land there

[@croatia_gaming2743]

The best videos is when you fly with the best airline qatar

[@JonA-ih5he]

I was on the same flight 5 weeks ago. Also in seat 3a! Nice memories. Love the Qatar business class though the seats in the A380 as you say are better. Hamad is an amazing airport but I personally found the lounge to be a little soulless - even though it's architecturally rather impressive.

[@satyamdwivedi7208]

beauty! gr8 to see such stuff out there which is something different from the noise and hustle of the world.

[@aaronarshad3687]

When I was in Doha 3 years ago I can honestly say it was soooo quiet but good views LUX Travel Expert u r a god

[@hmasurg]

Hello.. Wonderful recap of the QR product and Lounge. I have flown extensively on all fleet types of QR and never get tired of seeing more particularly from a well regarded KZbinr such as yourself. Selected A333/332 had historically included a first class cabin (to upload soon) and old fashioned business class as well. The product you see here have been enrolled on most A330s now as FC will only be available on the A380. I do like them despite the seats being a touch on the tighter side and they compliment the smaller cross section fuselage of the A330. Also urban Lounge is indeed spectacular, the high cielings and vast space makes it so unique and comfortable even at peak times. All the best to you.. And happy flying.

[@annivali4356]

The welcoming lemon mint drink looks devine. 🤤

[@lucasviana7084]

Love the channel! It is my favourite flight review channel

[@stephanhoffmann3265]

Thank you, Harry

[@amandarego9323]

WOW! You lucky, lucky, man. What utterly beautiful views

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Those views were breathtaking indeed!

[@matejburian3191]

Thank you for your Videos! I really appriciate that you are writing some review as a text because my english is not so good so i can understand better than voice commentar, This is definitely my most favourite aviation channell so far, Thank you again and fly safe :)

[@luxurytravelexpert]

English it not my mother tongue, so that's why I prefer subtitles as well :)

[@NikiSvaizer]

Great TR! Thank you for sharing with us! I tried the same A330 Diamond seats and agree with you regarding all the aspects, pros and cons.

[@soda8335]

Might be one of your best mate, although i love your canadian rockies videos.

[@moonman110]

Love your videos, I'm always watching them haha. Doha Hamad intl airport is my favourite after Changi of course.

[@bobboberson2024]

The long awaited bridge taking shape!

[@Mokarney]

Qatar now has q suite flights on certain days for DOHA to MALE. Very excited to be flying q suites from JFK/MIA to DOHA and a 24 hour layover there and then onto Male for St Regis Maldives!

[@james.b3798]

Awesome video, I would love to see a video of air Canada 787 first class or business

[@maddyandhank]

James Browne I would love to see air Canada first class too!

[@jt3397]

James Browne same

[@NomiSyed1]

Being an AC frequent flyer, just wanted to say that to be VERY honest, my own country's premier airline, Air Canada, does NOT have a first class... only has business class. The 787 business class is quite nice, however, I do believe that there is barely any luxury offered, the meals are quite ordinary. Super expensive, but not worth it.. As a matter of fact, United, American & Delta offer much better Business & First class products.There are quite a few AC 787 business class videos.

[@TheAircraftKing]

Oh sir as modest as you are I would argue that AC's 1-2-1 reverse herringbone is much better than united's horrible 2-4-2 seating in business class or even UA's ex-COA 2-2-2 BE aerospace diamond seats. But the food I cannot compare since I've been on UA's F and J but not AC's class

[@NomiSyed1]

Aircraft King, I'm not talking about the seat configuration. Air Canada's Executive POD is very up to date, modern and comparable to some bigger names, HOWEVER, the classic pod that has the weird curvy seat, it's uncomfortable to sit on. I've sat on both these business class products on AC. I'm mainly referring to the luxury aspect Mr. Aircraft King... If I pay $7000 CAD to travel on AC business class, I know for a fact that I can spend the same and fly a different carrier and I'll have more luxury available to me. Please DON"T comment unless you've actually traveled on AC business class product.

[@flaneurnz]

Amazing flight and an amazing trip. 😆👍🍽🌞🛫

[@muffythebunny]

Great video as always! Keep them coming!

[@clockendgooner8038]

Impressive. Only thing I'm not a massive fan of is how close the IFE screens are to each other...

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

It looks like a magnificent place. Maybe one day.

[@marktrout9145]

i enjoyed the video .. great job

[@aathikhafeez6858]

I love your blog

[@TheCOSMETICLOVER]

Wow looks incredible! However, whenever I pass through airport lounges it saddens me how much food waste there will be (in hotels too) Also to land in the Maldives one day is a complete dream!

[@muhammadnimji4626]

Spectacular design. I believe; just as the Italians have a flair of design and art, the Arabs of the UAE and Qatar are reaching back to a time when Archetecture, design and spatial space design was at its forefront of their history.

[@virgloh8934]

Another dream video for me......

[@joshleeman3756]

tbh this is an OUTSTANDING config for SR/MR flights

[@nafeekarim2780]

Next time when I travel I hope, to fly business class and I should be able, to visit the lounge.

[@victorguruswamy5287]

Qatar airways is one of my top 5 favourite planes in the world

[@GeminiJets24]

Very nice video man!

[@man7j]

Great video. You have a great channel! May I ask...what camera do you use? And are staff and passengers ok with it or do you require prior permission? Thanks

[@vitalyo1152]

Thank you for your very informative video

[@anon_rah01]

That is the most spectacular business lounge ever !!! I must say, do you ever eat or sit down in the lounge before going on your flight ?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

anon _rah I had a layover of 8 hours in Doha, so I did have some time for filming 😉

[@anon_rah01]

the Luxury Travel Expert Superb !

[@SandraNelson063]

Lovely airport! Having a place to get your feet up at an airport is good for your circulation. Too bad for you, having to go visit all those luxury hotels. What an ordeal!

[@1101millie97]

From the air, it seems clear that that the Maldives resemble the older, sinking islands on the Hawaiian island chain that stretches from the Big Island (the youngest) to Midway and beyond -and these are definitely more like Midway.

[@isak.5832]

I used that formula one game station. It was awesome.

[@traffictraffic]

remarkable video as always

[@luxurytravelexpert]

thank you :)

[@henna_gaijin]

Your videos are all good because you film some crew interaction during boarding; however, if you'd film crew interaction during meal/drink service as well, your videos would all be excellent and I'd be a huge fan

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I don't want to bother the crew too much during their work :)

[@henna_gaijin]

the Luxury Travel Expert I would've thought that was your logic IF you hadn't filmed any of the cabin crew during boarding (which is an important part of their job) but since you did film them completely during boarding, I thought you'd also think it's okay to film them at least a little bit during meal/drink services too but apparently there's something about boarding that you find to be completely different from meal/drink services that would justify your filming them in their entirety versus nothing at all. I'd be curious to know why that is. In any case, overall, your videos are still pretty good.

[@rippingale100]

Magnificent

[@causeoflava]

Awesome video. IMO emirates has the best business class even though on the 777 I flew was 2-3-2. I just like the dual screens and having full control from a tablet.

[@RAJKUMAR-yw5vi]

Natzoo well 777 and a380 are the only airctafts they have amyways majority is 777 so yes emirates do not have the best but yes one of the best business class( i meant a380)

[@karentemplesnow8960]

Qatar is my favourite airline!! Haven't been to Doha for a while, and looking forward to seeing the phenomenal Business class lounge for myself. Its stunning!! .. Surely though, you were mistakenly given the Economy class amenity kit?.. what happened to the Armani products?? Thanks as always xx

[@luxurytravelexpert]

No, that was no mistake :). I believe they do not hand out the stylish Armani kits on shorts flights like the one from Doha to Male (only 4 hours).

[@hmasurg]

the Luxury Travel Expert Yes that is indeed the case. The Armani kits are obviously much better and nicely stocked with a small Gio perfume (one of my personal favorites) however, the bag itself is old fashioned and generic. QR has recently refreshed them a bit, but I was hoping for something more substantial and perhaps with more QR branding from the exterior. They have also partnered with Brics for their new FC kits.

[@In_TheMoonlight]

lol that psa at 17:19 because we were all wondering who you were filming :P

[@therenaissanceredneck8825]

Great video.Looking forward to the videos of the resorts. Why did you choose not to use you logo as your water mark? Keep up the good work.....

[@luxurytravelexpert]

In all honesty: I don't know how to incorporate a watermark with Imovies ..

[@FrankypankyV8]

the Luxury Travel Expert, I understand the problem... for some reason it's very difficult to use a watermark in a video. What I do is making the movie with text (Moviemaker), finish it and then record again to add and watermark-text over the whole lenght of my video. Watch my Zandvoort trackday-video for an example...

[@nafeekarim2780]

I wish I visited the 🇶🇦airways lounge in Doha hamad international airport.

[@ranozziinlove]

will you visit Nepal? would be awsome as well!

[@victorguruswamy5287]

the Qatar airways safety video is hilarious

[@arbood26]

please visit Singapore with Singapore Airlines in the Suite Class, other KZbin channel has done it but I want to see your version of it 😁. Oh, and it would be great if you could stay at that famous Marina Bay Sands

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I will upload a Singapore Airlines A350 Business Class trip in June. Stay tuned!

[@arbood26]

That's great news 👍

[@aviational1673]

Great video.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

thank you!

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

I saw several planes in this video including the Airbus a 340 with Star alliance livery.

[@leotal3694]

really really spectacular final view overflying the archipelago ! awesome and so entertaining! Expert, may I suggest you not to show safety footage(s)....I find them so useless and quite boring ! In fact this time has been very short but in other in-flight videos of yours I looked forward they passed quicker ! By now I look forward watching your next issues 😆👍

[@tassiebrett4116]

A great video, just one question, as you had a window seat is it hard to access the aisle when the other traveler has their seat in the bed position?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Well, if that other person is asleep with his/her seat in the flatbed position, you will have to climb over his/her legs

[@nathanokeefe7578]

fantastic

[@piplex3673]

Paradise found on the next video? Do we have a North Island beater to look forward to?! :D

[@TravelToTheWorldAaliyahtravel]

Great👍

[@MohammedAli-nh6wt]

Qatar airways is the best in the world

[@LisaAnn164]

Great music; please tell me the name of the music that was playing during the approach and landing?

[@blissful351]

Like the Hans Zimmer touch

[@luxurytravelexpert]

It's not his music, but I am huge Hans Zimmer fan as well

[@johnsullins]

Great video. I am on Qatar business class to the Maldives in a few weeks but think my plane is an A330-200 so not sure if it will look like this

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Qatar Airways has different layouts on their Airbus A330s. It's difficult to predict which one you will get. Perhaps you can explore the Qatar Airways seat map for your flight and compare it to the matching seat plan on Seatguru. What resort will you stay at? I wish you a great holiday!

[@johnsullins]

I fly Qatar business class a couple of times a year. But usually on their 777, A350 or 787. This will be my first time on their A330. It's only a 4 hour flight so I'm sure it will be just fine. I actually like their 777 with the old biz class more than the A350 or 787. Staying at Vilamendahoo. Probably not as luxury as the places you reviewed but we picked it because it is supposed to have one of the best house reefs and we are going to snorkel for 7 days.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I am flying Qatar's B777 next month (it was supposed to be an A350 but they swapped it to a B777). Vilamendahoo looks wonderful. Enjoy your holiday, and the snorkeling! Warm regards

[@johnsullins]

A350 is newer and more modern, but I am 6'2" and find their 777 biz to be a lot more comfortable. Get one of the 2 middle seats if traveling solo.

[@hmasurg]

John Sullins The A332 does indeed have the same product on some aircraft (as they are in the process of refurbishing all A330s) Just this morning I was on a QR flight that had the old business class product. Chances are you'll get the new product just like in the video. Happy Travels.

[@alexiabovialte2609]

Maravilhoso!

[@lawrencebautista1]

When was this trip taken? This was before the severance of diplomatic ties between Qatar and Maldives. But upon checking today, QR still has flights between the two countries.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Yes, QR is still running flights between the two countries. The flight was taken last February, before the diplomatic incident. Kind regards

[@coolbreeze253]

The food offerings though are just so-so in my opinion, based on a visit three months prior to this video. Table service from a menu was unavailable I was told

[@calvintruong1516]

Cool

[@shabalakhouri3184]

[@brahminangirasgotraraniselvisu]

I much prefer ETHIAD due its LUXURIOUS! DUBAI much more luxurious airport then Doha!

[@n0peable]

BC Seats without direct access to the aisle are a no-go. Qatar can do much better - as seen with the lounge for example.

[@RAJKUMAR-yw5vi]

n0peable well even 777 dont have that( 99% exlcuding qsuite). Only a380 a350 and 787

[@algeriedz6310]

Can you go on a trip in Videos in Algeria for example in Algiers, to Tipaza and to Constatine etcetera because in Algeria he(it) ya many thing to be seen and to be discovered

Qatar airways A330 don't have First class seats ??

[@zakelwe]

It's no wonder the US carriers are complaining, this and UAE lounges are just expensive emblems for the country, there is hardly anyone in them. UAE first class lounge, size of Wales, has to be the biggest waste of money ever. I bet ecomony lounge is heaving considering the capacity increase ....
