TRIPREPORT | Qatar Airways (ECONOMY) | Bangkok Suvarnabhumi - Doha Hamad | Airbus A380

[@kawangkwok5262]

Economy on the upper deck is always better, apart from extra storage from window seat, also 2-4-2 configuration is better the 3-4-3, 1 person less to pass by if a window passenger go in and out of their seat.

[@razasplanet6935]

You think so like me, As i choose First seat on long flight just i have to Use lavotory and and short haul flights i choose window seat😂

[@f5z-.4waakwsgd17]

Is the upper floor quieter than the lower one?

[@HaxorBallistic]

@@f5z-.4waakwsgd17 Yes, it is less quiet and a smoother flight if you choose upper deck!

[@KadeemMay]

Great minds think alike

[@fattony9227]

I flew Qatar A 380 Upper Deck once. It's smaller and quieter cabin with quicker access to meals and WC's. Highly recommended.

[@-mathijs]

The boarding music is so nostalgic 🥲

[@allaboutaviation787]

Great Trip report 😃Amazing how quiet the A380 is on the upper deck 😄

Great report again! I’m glad to see Qatar Airways still serves appetiser, provides amenity kits and gives pre-arrival snacks! Qatar Airways is truely a “world class” airlines.

[@well-blazeredman6187]

I liked the way you worked the menu into this footage. Food looked great. Qatar looks very solid in the air, even in the back, but customer service on the ground (or on the phone) is attracting much criticism and that's why, with Avios to burn, I'll be waiting another year before flying with them again.

[@Andrew-Wong]

I super love your kind comment!! I agree! ❤👍👍

[@mambo5014]

Yes good airline in the skies but on the ground its the worst l have ever experienced

[@shepardsmith3235]

You want some good food in economy, fly Air France. Others are hit or miss or worse. Best if you have the most limited expectations of cuisine in Coach and you wont be disappointed or just bring some decent food you get in the departure terminal in and eat it on your flight. This is the smart move if you really want something better than edible.

[@well-blazeredman6187]

@Shepard Smith I flew AF Economy just before the pandemic. The food was good and filling. But I flew BA long-haul a couple of days ago and BA ........ topped AF.

[@Bruce-yv9tm]

flew A380 upper deck economy from DOH-LHR back in january and although I was stuck in a middle seat the entertainment and food were great. Coming off a great qsuite flight it was quite a shock though

[@shepardsmith3235]

Yes this must have been a rude awakening. Hard to believe you are on the same flight. N'est Pas?

[@sainnt]

The next time I travel to Asia, I will have to route through Atlanta in order to experience this flight. The longest 747 flight in the world, on a Korean Air 747-8, which I've never tried before. This would be magical!

[@theplaneguy8]

I have actually gone on this exact flight and it was really fun!

[@ericinzesky1077]

Great report as always, thanks a lot ! I never flew in an A380 yet but I'll try to do it this year ! 🙂

[@shepardsmith3235]

Their food is hit or miss but it will keep you fed. Period.

[@tonyconnolly3148]

i was on that exact flight and it was amazing but 1 thing to keep in mind is if you on the upper deck at the back of the plane your last off so make sure you have time for your connecting flight

I am always impressed with Qatar. Never have I had a bad exp on Qatar. Last year around Nov I flew economy from SIN to Doha on a350 and then business class on their a380 and boy was I spoilt between Doha and Paris!.

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

Yes, I guess the upper deck economy class is quite nice!

[@calebmayol2769]

Qatar Airways also Illumination Characters in the plane.❤

[@magnustan841]

As cool as the A380 is, I still think it’s overhyped. People had choice words for Qatar’s CEO when he made negative comments on the plane and the flying public (and aviation vloggers) worship the superjumbo like god. The A350 has and does everything the A380 wins so much praise for, but I don’t ever hear people going out of their way, or pay a premium, to fly an A350. Emirates has played a big role in how the flying public feel about the 380 imo. That said, I’ve set myself an avgeek goal to fly on as many remaining A380s as I can. Now Qatar’s A350s are coming back in force, the QR A380s days are numbered. I’m looking to fly this exact route next year, so very convenient video!

[@Cta2006]

The Airbus 380 is just a very comfertable aircraft to fly on, even in economy. Far more comfertable than most. The Boeing 747-8I is the hyped up one.

[@deenmujagic5462]

Wouldn’t say they’re numbered, they’ll still be flying until the 777x most likely

[@davidcartwright5591]

@@deenmujagic5462 . There’s no guarantee the 777X will ever enter service .

[@12345anton6789]

It’s in economy class that the A380 really shines, plenty of personal space and of course by having the quietest cabin by any aircraft.

[@magnustan841]

@@12345anton6789 Well, I’ll be back on an A380 for this first time in 8 years this December. Looking forward to see if all the praise is true. I’m not saying I don’t like the A380, I really do.

I had that same long walk through the lower deck ! I believe that it was to avoid the disappointment of not having access to the Bar in front of the curtain ! Unfortunately and partly due to my Naivety I was lumbered with a inside seat in the middle aisle (which is 4) ! absolutely dreadful experience

[@flyingdentist]

nice

[@ryku2287]

Most flights I’ve taken with QR involved long bus transfers at Hamad airport where pax are packed like sardines and kept waiting for ages to board. And when I faced an 8-hour delay all they offered was about $10 to spend at the airport - not enough for any meal at all in the overpriced food court. Let alone the fact that they are the state airline of a sponsor of Hamas terrorism. I do not get why anyone would glorify them… good marketing that I’ll grant

[@leothompson2777]

Definitely a miss for me. Why make a long flight even longer with a stopover in Qatar!? The food looked incredibly basic as well. And that leg room is far from 'excellent' I'm afraid. Average to alright at best for the price.

[@deepalperera4592]

Although you appreciate the Qatar A380, the owner hates it and as you know CEO said buying the A380 was the biggest mistake made by QR

[@smilingpukpuk]

The hallmark of super airlines inflight service, is best judged by the quality of offerings in their basic economy section, starting with food and beverages, seating comfort, entertainment and amenity products, cleanliness right through to flight crew attentiveness, care and professionalism. To this extent, Singapore, Qatar, Emirates, Air New Zealand, Qantas and EVA Air are skies above the rest.

[@shepardsmith3235]

The idea of having a 2 instead of a 3 across is great but lets say you have limited time to make a connecting flight do you really think you can make it with 500 people trying to deplane on your flight? Good luck. If anyone has been on a 380 in economy and tried to transfer with limited time, please chime in and let us know your experience. When I fly coach and am trying to do this, I always try to get in the first few rows of the forward economy section or better, be in premium economy.

[@daveogorman9636]

Great video! One thing I'd love to know is if the leg room on the lower deck is the same as the upper deck? We are hoping to fly next year to Bangkok with Qatar. I love the hustle and bustle of planes though and think the upper deck might be too peaceful for our liking (2 adults and 2 children) so would probably prefer the lower deck.

[@CRaZyAbOuTYuGi]

If this video was shot on the 27th of Jan 2023, which I think it is but could be wrong (I can’t clearly see the departure boards at the start of the video) than I would have been on that aircraft’s inbound flight from DOH! I was at seat 75C

[@chuakoh1497]

I flew many times on QA in the 2007-2009 both on economy and business. Then there was only one direct flight from SG to Doha departing after midnight. Looking at the food now alone, QA has come a long way in improving their services. The economy food then was almost inedible and for business class, I was so tired of their breakfasts which was mainly bakeries and cereals, no eggs, no omelette and the menu for both classes didn’t vary.throughout those flights during that period. I was once served red wine than had gone rancid. What made it worse was the business lounge in Changi Airport was hardly service attended to with bare amount of remaining food leftover from the day. I never understood why then QA was still voted best airline.
