"the best in business class"

(Singapore)

Trip Verified | Had the Qsuite single window seat that was forward facing on a flight to Singapore. What a fabulous seat and certainly the best in business class that I have flown. Very comfortable for sitting and relaxing, working and eating, and quite nice in the bed position. A lot of storage options, including the large armrest section. Door closed for sleep time and great privacy and peaceful on the A350. Footwell width area is less than you get in first class, but for business class I cannot complain. Highly recommended.

"seats were very cramped"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | LHR-DOH-CMB-LHR. Flying economy class on their newly configured Boeing 777-300ER. Flying in economy on the 10 abreast seat layout is highly overrated. Despite having good legroom (bulkhead seat on all flights) and having enough padding and recline, the seats were very cramped. Me and my partner both have broad shoulders (I am 5'7 and he is 6'1) and the seats meant our shoulders touching each others (though not minding at all as we are a couple- it just meant that his shoulder was touching his neighbours shoulder and had to fight for elbow room).

"Seats are very comfortable"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | My flight DOH to Paris and Back Paris to DOH was very pleasant on the A380. Seats are very comfortable. Touch screen TV quite advanced. Quite good leg room in economy class too. Will recommend this flight to others too.

"average seat place"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Really average seat place and IFE was basically not working, narrow space for the legs windows were dirty, and old furniture. The seat table was uncomfortable to eat as you could not put a big plate on it, and was making it even narrow. In general I slept during the flight because I had no chance to charge my phone, or watch a film, as the cabin crew was not able to change it in English, at least, from Arabic. After two hours the screen shut completely down

"economy on 787-8 was excellent"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | I was returning from Rome and going back to Doha then Melbourne. Qatar airways economy on their 787-8 was excellent, it had reclining seats, leather headrests, adjustable headrests, good movies on the IFE, also universal power points in between the seats, USB ports to charger you device, a coat hanger, a tv remote which was touch screen and easy to use and also the mood light was terrific! Good job Qatar airways I will definitely fly with you again!

"very hard and uncomfortable"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | I was very impressed with all aspects of the service provided by all the flight and ground crew. They could not have been more helpful or considerate. The in flight service was conducted in a most pleasant and cordial manner. But the seats did not in my opinion come up to the same high standard. I flew from Manchester to Doha, on to Nagpur (on an A20) 05/03/2018 and returned a week later on the same route and aircraft. The flight to Nagpur and return were much more comfortable than the flights to and from Doha. The Boeing 787-8 3x3x3 format made the seats quite narrow, which I could cope with, being reasonably 'normal'. However I found the seat base to be very hard and uncomfortable. Anyone who managed to dream on this Boeing 787-8 must have been exhausted or of a stronger constitution than yours truly.

"seats were comfortable enough"

(Greece)

Not Verified | Three friends and I flew Athens-Doha-Chennai and back with different aircraft types of Qatar Airways. We were all impressed - the seats were comfortable enough for economy seats, there was a pillow and a blanket on each seat, there was a monitor screen for every seat, the food with complimentary drinks, was quite good, as for the service it was just wonderful! Efficient, polite and caring stewards and stewardesses on the plane and equally good personnel on the ground! Security was excellent and all in all we had four pleasant flights, the best ever on any economy class flights we had flown the last years, as all airlines are offering less and less amenities through less and less caring staff nowadays!

"seat was comfortable"

(Georgia)

Trip Verified | The seat was comfortable, the leg room was OK for three hours flight. There was complimentary pillow and blanket on each seat. Each seat was equipped with IFE system and universal power socket. Though I had to share the power socket with the passenger sitting next to me, but it was ok as there was USB port on the screen of IFE system.

"seat was really comfortable"

(Georgia)

Trip Verified | The seat was really comfortable for the long-haul flight. Sometimes I have back pain during sitting for the long amount of time, but after the flight I didn't feel any pain. The legroom was also bearable, although I wish there was more legroom as I am very tall and it is always hard for me to find any room where I can put my feet. There was small box under the seat in front of me and it was bit annoying.

"seat and strange noise let it down for me"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I was travelling from Manchester to Kuala Lumpur via Doha with Qatar Airways, but on-board a couple of Boeing 787 it was tolerable but wasn't great. The legroom isn't great for people over six foot and trying to get past another passenger is very difficult (and the people next to me would not stand up) I was in the window seat 15/16A, which was nice (especially for sleeping) and the large window is great but had even less leg space due to the presence of a large silver IFE box. The seat recline was quite useless - it didn't seem to stay so you had to keep pressure leaning back (I don't normally recline anyway out of respect for others) Whenever the person in front reclined I was very cramped and couldn't move much - forget about accessing the aisle. Having 9 seats in each row is quite a lot in reality, it can result in some armrest battles with your neighboring passengers from slightly narrow seats. Maybe 8 would have given a better customer experience. Ironically my first flight to Doha had just 50 people on-board so I didn't have a problem there but my connections from then onward were much busier. Finally, there was a very annoying high pitched noise throughout the whole flight, which is either from the lights or the IFE boxes. It was rhythmic and once I had noticed it I couldn't ignore it sadly. On both of my Boeing 787 connections this noise was present so I know it wasn't this specific flight. Aside from the obligatory safety leaflet and an in-flight magazine (didn't know people still read these, hah) the seat storage was decent. On the whole I thought Qatar had very good service, all of the crew were lovely but the seat and strange noise let it down for me.
