Great report. Used to live in Lagos back in the 80s, so it’s always fun to see the airport showcased in some way in trip reports. And I have to say, looks exactly the same as it did in the late 80s, minus the newer domestic terminal and construction ‘snafu’ of the new international section. Keep up the great work!

Patrick, another great video. Do airlines have an issue with filming the lavatory prior to take off? I recall horror stories of planes stuck on the tarmac for hours without letting anyone use the toilet. I think you mis-spoke at 25:50, the mixed grill was lamb not pork. Not exactly halal. It's nice they had fruit available as snacks, but what do you do with the banana peels or peach pits before they start to smell? I like when airlines have granola bars.
@johnt6022 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I think he did inadvertently say ' pork'..
@PatrickSheaAviation Жыл бұрын
I haven’t had issues recording in the cabins of aircraft. The crew usually just asks to try and avoid filming other passengers faces when possible. As for the fruit peels, the crew was attentive enough that I’m sure they would have collected it within a few minutes of you setting it down

So far there's been nothing much said about those business class cabin design on the 787s, it is said that this is the more "Optimized" version of the Q-Suite for 787 because the airframe of the 787 is too narrow to house the Q-Suite. 25:51 Also, you said that you had grilled pork on your flight. As far as I know, Qatar Airways doesn't serve pork (Almost all middle-eastern carriers don't) due to religious purposes. So, I think you made a mistake.
