Qatar Airways

I flew Brussels to Tokyo return via Doha on their Boeing 787 (out July 25th and returning August 12th). I must say that service was pretty good, not 5 star but good. The food was tasty and sufficient however I was hoping for more. Flight was nice despite awful seats on the Boeing 787 - I had 11H and 26A and they are seriously cramped. I will try to never fly a Boeing 787 again unless in business class.

Copenhagen to Singapore via Doha with Qatar Airways. Nice clean new aircraft. All legs landed on time even if late departing. Tasty food and drinks. Good space and comfortable seats espescially on the A350. Quiet planes, I was very impressed of the A350 aircraft. We got pillows and blankets on all flights and a kit with toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs, socks and eyemask on the A350's. As always on Qatar good service (especially on QR947) and entertainment system. If I have to complain it would be over there's only 15min free wi-fi onboard even if long haul flights. We'll definetely choose Qatar again on our way to Asia or Africa if possible. QR162/163 and QR947/942.

✅ Verified Review | Cape Town to London via Doha - these two flights with Qatar Airways was anazing. Ground and inflight service was excellent. Food was great aswell. The IFE on the B787 was not as good as the A380, though. If I could recommend one thing is that they update the Boeing's IFE. Otherwise it was perfect. Everything was smooth. Especially the layover at Doha. What a nice airport. Both flights were on time and was almost no hassle at all. I slept easily on both. Can't wait to fly with them again. I am quite tall, yet I had loads of space on the A380. Great plane. Space on the Boeing was good.

Edinburgh to Hong Kong via Doha. Cabin lovely on all legs. Great seating, food choices and lovely crew. High number of crew in cabin meant personal service. Love the a la carte options especially on late flights. Transfers fine but it can be a real walk to next flight. Tv system can be glitchy and tricky to use. Good IFE choices on offer. Love the window dimming and cabin lighting.

We flew from Manchester to Bangkok via Doha with Qatar Airways, I did find the check in clerk at Manchester Airport quite abrupt when asking for the exit row seats for both flights as I am 6 ft 4 tall. She said let me check and she had to ask her manager but she did not respond until we got our boarding passes and found out we had the exit row to Doha but not from Doha to Bangkok. The first leg of the flight was on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in economy. This was a fantastic aircraft and it was very quiet, the food and service and entertainment was spot on from Manchester to Doha and we had the exit row which made it easier for me to stretch my legs. We only had a one hour transfer time at Hamad International Airport. The Airport was huge and it was so modern and clean. We boarded the A380 for our flight to Bangkok, this aircraft is huge and I found the economy seats to be very comfortable with large IFE screens to watch the entertainment to pass the time. Again the service and the food was fantastic and we were in Bangkok in no time. Flying back to Manchester via Doha from Bangkok I asked again for the exit rows in Bangkok and if we could sit upstairs in the small economy section on the A380, this was successful but we did not get the exit row on the A380 but it was nice to be sat in the small economy section upstairs. Both flights home were on time and the service and food was spot on. I can't recommend Qatar Airways highly enough to others.

✅ Verified Review | Singapore to New York JFK return via Doha. I have flown this route 3 times in the last 8 months with 3 different carriers. My favorite is Qatar Airways. The first noticeable difference is the ease of navigating their website which is well organised and easy to get to the required services. Check-in at Singapore was quick and completed within 15 mins including the time I started queuing in line to get checked-in. The smooth check-in experience was repeated again in JFK with a knowledgeable staff who was professional, friendly and accommodating. Worth mentioning is Qatar Airway's use of Terminal 7 at JFK. It could be sheer luck but on both occasions at arrival and departure, I did not experience the massive crowds that I had experienced in other JFK terminals. The seats are organised in a 3-3-3 configuration and each seat comes with a large touch screen tv with a separate console for controls. The feel and look of the tv is much sleeker than those of the other 2 carriers I have flown and comes with more varied programming. Another well designed feature is the toilets which come with a decent sized wash basin and a wet tissue dispenser for cleaning the toilet seats. Ample food options were available even though I sat close to the back of the plane. There are no overhead cabins for the last 4 to 5 rows of seats in the middle block but there does not seem to be any problems accommodating everyone's bags. Some of the cabin crew looked rather new on the job but it was clear that they all worked hard to accommodate everyone's requests. Definitely an airline I would consider highly on my next long haul flight.

✅ Verified Review | Zagreb to Perth via Doha. We have previously flown with Qatar and had a very pleasant experience, However, this particular flight was not as pleasant due to the fact Qatar Airways had introduced the new Boeing 777-300 seats, new configuration plane (3x4x3). We had 3 seats between the 2 of us and thank goodness as I would not have survived with 3 people in the row of 3. The armrest was not big enough for 2 arms, the depth of the seat was considerably smaller. The width was smaller as I could not fit my hand down between the arm rest and myself. Sadly we will not be travelling with Qatar Airways again when going to Europe and will choose to pay slightly more for economy with another airline just to know we will get adequate leg and seat room.

✅ Verified Review | Kuala Lumpur to Doha. The boarding procedure was easy and unproblematic. The journey was more than 7 hours, the aircraft took off at 8.30am. I was sitting by a window. The aircraft was not full it was an empty seat beside me. Every seat had a pillow, a blanket and a headset. The service was very good: we got a complete lunch (lamb with rice, salad, cookie) and a sandwich one hour before landing. The crew was excellent I can recommend the airline very much.

✅ Verified Review | I was flying the second time this year with Qatar Airways from Athens to Johannesburg via Doha. Both round trips were, considering the cabin class, very pleasant flights. Flights on time, staff friendly, service and meals onboard without any complaint. Very positive was the generous leg room and the comfortable seat on all used planes (777, 787, 330). The on board entertainment has a huge selection of movies and worked perfectly. The only thing I found annoying on my trip in June, was the very strict application of the baggage weight limits and the hefty fee that QR charged per extra kg. However, based on this and earlier experience, I would choose this airline again for my business trips.

Kuala Lumpur - Doha - Berlin TXL on Sun 31st July (B777-300ER and A330). QR flight to KUL had arrived ahead of schedule and was looking forward to an on time departure. After sitting on the plane for over 1 hr already, were absolutely amazed by the Qatar policy to let people board the plane still 50 minutes after departure time (9.45 am and 10.35), people were simply late and kept other passengers waiting on this Sunday morning - very good weather and no traffic problems in KUL. Why on earth do they start boarding the aircraft before 9 am when they let people board until 10.35 way behind the schedule? Having known this, we would have slept 1½ hrs longer as well. Take off 11.16 am leaving many passengers worried about their onward connections. Unfortunately, this flight was worse in several areas than the usual quality experience on QR: delayed boarding that was simply unacceptable, tight seating 3-4-3 with good 33" seat pitch though, mediocre food and small portions and the general feeling of being cramped on board. The mid-flight snacks could be healthier as well: always white bread which is far too sweet, very sweet cakes or crisps - 6/10 only. DOH - TXL on A333 the same Sunday afternoon was another story: excellent boarding with on-time departure from DOH, pleasant and highly motivated cabin crew, three options for lunch (beef-chicken-vegetarian), water and juices served three-four times during the flight and an early arrival at TXL. The meal service was exemplary with two + two carts in economy plus one hostess serving the last five-six rows from the rear galley, which seemed fast & efficient. The IFE with smaller screens on this 11-year old Airbus was not as good as on their newer planes, however, this flight was excllent compared to our first leg on QR the same morning and deserves 9/10.
