This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

I was one of the crew. There are good and bad throughout the career, but being emphatic and putting a lot of effort in personalizing customer's experience are definitely at the highest regards in Qatar cabin crew culture. You're video is such a nostalgia, thank you :)

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@thnaykhwam2425]

I have been on Qatar Air couple of times and have had good memories. D Momentos were branded , food world class from d Business and 1st Class. Cabin crews highly commendable👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@wudh]

It's the first time to hear someone who can notice the challenge of having a good crew on multinational airlines as you did. It's not easy to get people who have a different background and believe to work in the service industries and have the same level of 5-star service.

I had a pouch from Bric’s for both SFO-DOH and DOH-SFO last year. But the amenities inside was not as good as the diptyque stuff you had here. Btw did QR stops serving Laurent Perrier Rose in both your flights? I got hooked on that stuff since my flights with them last year, and buy it sometimes on my dimes to reminisce those flights. Their rose substitute here doesnt look shabby at all tho. I think QR has the 2nd best business class champagne among all airlines with 3 offerings including the non-alcoholic one. I think they are only behind Eva with Vueve Cliquot La Grande Dame.

[@tfft]

On both of my flights and in the lounge they were serving Charles Heidsieck Rose- I’m more of a coffee snob than a wine snob though so as long as it tastes good and doesn’t give me a champagne headache I’m all for it 😂 And thank you very much for the support 🙏

[@AnneMB955]

First time here and I’m liking your content. So far Q has not swayed me away from Qantas. Being someone who does not like rubbing elbows with strangers I would not want a middle seat. Thank you for your no nonsense tell all. Continuing to watch.

[@tfft]

Understood. You might be swayed in the future though as it appears Qantas will be including the “honeymoon” seats on their new Project Sunrise aircraft (based on the initial diagrams released a few months ago). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Lucky enough to have flown Qsuite London-Adelaide. In my experience cabin crew respond to nice passengers who really appreciate all they do and, for example, learn their name . Qatar made our all our 4 flights amazing. Great video.

[@gazza2004]

This is the first time I have come across your channel, and it certainly won't be the last video I watch. I had the pleasure of Qatar's business class before they introduced the Qsuites, so I am hoping to hop back on a flight in the next couple of years to sample it. Thank you for an informative, humorous and engaging review. I did have a chuckle about the pillow fight! Liked and subscribed :) Also, you mentioned about the crew replacing the paper on the toilet... I felt so embarrassed; I contracted a rare bacterial disease from eating undercooked seafood. I wasn't in any pain, but was probably carrying out my payload about 20-30 times a day (I wish I was joking) - watching the crew do this multiple times during the flight was certainly embarrassing!

Great authentic video, I’m from the Philly area and fly to Doha and Dubai 3-4 times a year and my airline of choice been Qatar airlines for the past 8 years and all business class. I avoid flying from PHL because they have the worst customs agents in the US service and I prefer flying out of JFK even though it adds about 3 hours to my travel which I’m willing to sacrifice. I took my family on vacation in 2022 and 2021 using Qatar airlines and cashed in some miles and we loved the quads center seats in the Qsuites. Thanks again

Just discovered your "honest" review channel. A few airlines to check out when traveling Asia in business (I live in Asia and fly often) are EVA Air, Malaysia Airlines (and 777-300ER checking one of the throne seats on the right side), Garuda, Starlux (pretty new), Hawaiian (LA to Osaka, layover in Honolulu)... Also India is worth a trip with many local airlines and easy trips to Bangladesh, Nepal (scary place to land between the mountains), etc... Happy to point to some interesting routes / airlines.

[@tfft]

Sure, I live here too but always happy to hear suggestions. I’ve got quite a few of those either in queue for publishing or booked for next year. Flying EVA this month and just finished up an India trip. Have around 50 flights booked for next year from or within the region. Just one note, MH doesn’t fly 777s anymore. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

One of the best aerial videos I've seen. Do the cabin crew frown with the gopro on the window? Always wanted to do that but too scared in case they disapprove. That said seen hundreds of cockpit videos with gopros on the front screen.

I use iPhones… so much larger setup than a GoPro lol. Depends on the airline. Some, I know the policies, I just put it up. Some, I’ll ask first and some which I know have restrictions I’ll wait until I hear the “click” of the cabin crew’s seat belts when sitting down and then just hold it by hand. Thanks for watching 🩴

Great video! 3 weeks ago I had the pleasure of flying from Seattle to Doha aboard a Qatar 777-300 in QSuites. I was flying solo, so I had a window seat. I agree with pretty much everything you said and would give nearly identical marks. The comfort, hospitality, food, everything was wonderful. Upon arrival into Doha, I made my way to the Al Mourjan lounge where I took a nice, hot shower (my flight was almost 15 hours). The lounge is huge and luxurious with superb food. Since I had an 8-hour layover before my 5-hour flight to Kathmandu, I eventually left the lounge and found the Sleep N Fly cubicles and settled in for a very quiet and comfortable 3 hours. The Doha airport is huge and crowded and noisy, so the quiet solitude was worth it. I am looking forward to doing it again in a few months!

[@pacmanc8103]

These QSuites look quite nice, but I definitely prefer the side seats that are next to the aisle rather than the window because I’m tall. On the seats next to the window, I finding getting up and out from the bed position really tough because of the bulge from the seat in front. The access is much wider when you are seating next to the door, and for someone who is sensitive to space, feel a lot less confining to me than those where your shoulder is so close to the fuselage.

[@tfft]

Sure, besides being closer to the window, I prefer the window side seats because the aisle side seats have a bit less shoulder space when sitting due to the curve of the Qsuite doors. More noticeable on the A350 than the 777 thought. Thanks for watching 🩴

Did QSuites 4 times last year and I gotta say it was by far the best among a lot of biz class that I have tried. But I havent tried ANA the room yet. You gotta do a review on ANA the room to compare now.

A really great report, but he says he "could care less about ads. in general". We found this phrase odd when we lived in the US. To us (Brits) "he could care less" means that he may like it because he "could care less" than he currently does. We'd say "we could NOT care less". Please don't judge me, I like languages and different phrasing. That breakfast is pure perfection, not an insipid chicken sausage in sight. Well done, sir.

[@tfft]

Sure, you are absolutely correct. Just one of those colloquial anomalies we have in the US- probably originally meant as sarcasm haha. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@homer3152]

Kevin! What coud i say? You put a smile on my face throughout watching the video..maybe your best:) I am impressed how much you fly and your expereince. And i am again impressed about the perofrmance of my favourite airline and how yoo portaryed it...with all your sense of humour..great!! Well, maybe you could adjust your stats next time to the stats used by the world? Who cares for knots? So happy about the crew. Did you write a note to QR about this? They have a Tell Us page which i often use. Loved the seat map..no seats without windows, right? Only on A350 and 787. Food and wines looked outstanding..i sometimes wonder how they can be so good compared to the rest. Imagine you would have flown LH or - much worse - IB! And yesss!!! A new feature...LOOOOVED the price tags on the wines!!!! (they would loose to EK, unfortunately, but win hands down on LH, KLM and BA)- Oh, the toilet hehe. A mytery for me for decades: how around do you put this little slid hanging down on the paper cover? To the front to protct your xxx ..hehe..or behind to protect xxx? I had several funny discussions with crews about this and the males were always on my side to put it to the front, hehe. But the women won..as always:))))))) Warm regards!!!

[@tfft]

I'm 99% sure I replied to this already, but YT just put it back into my not replied list haha. I remember doing a bit of research about knots after reading your comment. Will look into it a bit more. Thanks as always for your comment and for watching 🙏

How not being fully flat could still make a score of 97… look forward to finding out in next January(very excited)

[@tfft]

For the vast majority of pax who sleep on their backs, they likely wouldn’t even notice it. My scores are generally from the perspective of what the ‘average’ pax would think… if they were based solely on my own stomach-sleeping preferences then almost all of my scores would be very skewed lol.

The whole plane? 😅

[@fadiatieh626]

Is that normal for the seat? I’m a side sleeper and have never heard anyone mention that detail about the seat.

[@tfft]

I can only comment on my own flights, but my QSuite flight following this on an A350 also had the same problem. Actually I found probably around 50% of seats out there are not perfectly flat either due to the headrest protruding or the seat it self not being level (or in the case of QSuite, both). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I understand the point end envy, but most travellers use economy. How about a few more travel videos showing economy class experiences ?

[@ME-vn9zk]

It is probably an emberassing question, but how much can you order on Food and wine which is included in the price? Are there any limitations or is it as much as you can drink/eat? Sorry for the question, I did not fly business class yet

[@tfft]

Some airlines are strict about eating certain foods at certain times. Qatar is very flexible because all of their food is dine on demand. Their only problem is sometimes dishes run out. Thanks for watching 🩴

[@themanman165]

What day was your actual flight? My girlfriend works for Qatar airways she’s a cabin crew and we were in Philadelphia about a month ago and she works business class And I’m curious if she was on this flight

[@tfft]

Perhaps I was a bit earlier. I flew out the week of 13 June. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@alwaysinsearch]

Which seats are best for 2 people sitting together?

[@tfft]

Well personally I’d choose 2 window seats, but I doubt that’s the answer you’re looking for lol. You’d probably want the two middle seats which are closer together. Different aircraft have these seats in different rows though so you’ll need to look at the seat map when you book the ticket. On QR’s website it will clearly show which seats are close together. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@lebelgo]

Just a constructive suggestion. On these reviews, it's probably best to document the business lounge of the airline with which you're flying rather than the Centurion Lounge. Even if you want to end up at Centurion, at least go to the airline's lounge and document what to expect. Also, long segments of take-off, etc., aren't really helpful when someone's trying to pick an airline. We've all seen take-offs and landings before. The service, lounges, food, seats, and bathrooms are more of interest. Otherwise, great video!

[@tfft]

Pretty sure I mentioned in the video that the only available Admirals Club was in a completely different concourse… hence, Centurion.

As a us citizen, do I need to purchase a visa to go to Doha? I will be coming home from Phuket. Phuket-Doha-phl. I have a 19 hour layover in Doha and I was hoping to leave the airport and go see the city

[@tfft]

🤷🏼‍♂️ A visa expert, I am not lol.

[@1bluensx]

@@tfft ok. Thank you. In your experience, is it worth staying over in Doha for a night? Or would you take a 6 hour layover and just come home. I ask,because based on your travels, you and I seem to have Very similar tastes in travel. I’ve actually stayed at many of the same places that you have, and had pretty much the same opinions.

[@steveprestrelski7172]

Very nice review, though add me to the list of people who aren't particularly enamored with the QSuite. The QSuites have a relatively narrow seat and the seat is pressed right up the wall, so little room for one's shoulder and arm. The 'suite' aspect of the set seemed a bit gimmicky as anyone walking by taller than 5 feet tall can look down into your suite. That said, I found other aspects of the business class service to be very good.

[@tfft]

I typically go into long haul flights with a low expectation for actually being able to sleep- with that in mind, I do really enjoy the suites (but much prefer them on the 777 vs the A350). But, if I really needed solid sleep, I'm with you. Thanks for watching.

[@redfiber247]

Between the A350 and 777? I explain in detail in the video… Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@waynelast1685]

It sounds great. Just why wouldn’t Qatar have flat seats?

[@tfft]

Eh?

[@waynelast1685]

@@tfft They created great experience in other ways but not a fully flat bed? It could be better.

[@t3avelos]

I did a 15hr long haul trip from mnl to mxp with connection in tpe back in February. As I wanted to fly business, I spent hours on end over business class reviews and I came across Qatar Airways too. How is it even relevant to review qsuites when Qatar air has so much diversity in their fleet that there is no assurance that your plane won't be changed with another that doesn't have the qsuite product? Out of 4 business class products I have flown in, Lufthansa, Ethiopian, Turkish (old 777 configuration) and Eva air I can solemnly swear that Eva air blows the doors off all three. It wasn't only the cocoon seat, but also amazing personalised service, 5 course delicious meal, Jason Wu pyjamas (yes! Pyjamas where other high profile airlines even have the amenity kit optional these days) and overall feeling of being pampered throughout the flight.

[@tfft]

Yupp. EVA is great, I have two reviews coming out in couple weeks on them. As for Qatar, the majority of their 777s and A350s do have QSuites, so I don’t get the “how’s it relevant” thing. Especially with the Airbus resolution, the percentage of aircraft with QSuites will be increasing quickly.

[@t3avelos]

​​@@tfft maybe I exaggerated there, didn't mean to bash your report in, I just looked my route in flightradar to find the plane type and similar KZbin reviews for the itinerary from MNL/BKK and other 'nearby' airports to European airports and I couldnt find not one review with qatar qsuites for this route

[@tfft]

As I write this a QSuites equipped 77W is currently en route from MNL-DOH (A7-BEC). QR has up to three daily flights to Manila and all of them are currently operated by 77W, many of the frequencies on QSuites equipped aircraft. As for Bangkok, most frequencies are currently on A380s, which don’t have QSuites but do have First Class… Here is a list of all QSuite 77Ws: A7-BAC A7-BAE A7-BAF A7-BAG A7-BAI A7-BAM A7-BAO A7-BAT A7-BAU A7-BAV A7-BAW A7-BAX A7-BAY A7-BAZ A7-BEA A7-BEB A7-BEC A7-BED A7-BEE A7-BEF A7-BEG A7-BEH A7-BEI A7-BEJ A7-BEK A7-BEL A7-BEM A7-BEN A7-BEO A7-BEP A7-BEQ A7-BER A7-BES A7-BET A7-BEU A7-BEV A7-BEW A7-BEX

QR doesn't really have to worry about shareholder value since it's a branch of the goverment. It's primary aim is to be an advertisement for the country.

[@DanielSMarriott]

I think your seat was malfunctioning. Both times I've flown Q Suite the bed was 100% completely flat.

[@tfft]

Had the same problem on my next flight from DOH-SIN… also tried it on an empty center seat on the Philly flight. All of them the same (on the A350 was a touch flatter, but the same problem overall). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
