"seats are much more cramped"

(Italy)

Verified Review | Milan to Hong Kong Via Doha. I was excited to be on a Boeing 787 for the first time on the Doha Hong Kong legs and although very aesthetically pleasing the seats are much more cramped and hard compared to the more comfortable and spacious A330. Why do they do that?

"economy seats are cramped"

(Singapore)

Verified Review | Flew Doha to Rome return, connecting from a Qatar Airways A350 flight. The 787 economy seats are cramped - and there are IFE boxes under the window and isle seat - making the leg room more cramped. I would not recommend it for flights above 2 hours.

"no power supply on A320 seats"

(South Africa)

Verified Review | We were seriously disappointed with a lack of individual inflight entertainment on this A320 and no power supply on the seats. The seats were basic and old. The old has it's Pro's and Con's, being old they had more cushion than lighter more modern seats, and felt more comfortable over a 5 hour stretch (can't say that for their B787 though), they also boasted some nice leg rests however both of ours didn't work and no one showed any interest in fixing it. Legroom near the window seat was hindered by the what seemed like an small entertainment box, although there was no individual in-flight entertainment system. So all in all, the flight was more of a headache than it was a pleasure. If you have a kindle or similar, I'd say bring it.

"very comfortable for economy class"

(Malaysia)

Verified Review | The Boeing 777 seats are very comfortable for economy class, it leave just enough space for the passengers to relax or to fall asleep, the adjustable pillow on the top of the seats are very clever try to suit to passengers different height, is one of the few airlines that I had experienced so far still feel rather relax and positive after 7/8 hours sit on the plane and leave the plane with a happy face

"legroom is a big consideration"

(Australia)

A380 return trip Sydney to Barcelona. Fortunate on the return leg that we were very early checking in and snagged an exit row seat. A definite bonus because on the leg Sydney - Doha we flew on an economy seat and the legroom was pathetic for a flight that length of time. The flight from Doha to Barcelona on a Boeing 787 had more legroom. Although everything else was great, legroom is a big consideration if you are over 1800mm so we won't be flying Qatar A380 next time unless we can guarantee an exit row seat or similar. Of course exit rows have their disadvantages too. Because they have bulkheads they are often reserved for babies in basinets.

"there is little leg room"

(Denmark)

I flew from Copenhagen to Tokyo on their Boeing 787. I have always been very happy flying with Qatar Airways and have used them many times now. But it is not what it has been. You sit too close, there is little leg room and I'm not so tall, 175cm. Service from CPH-DOH there were only two rounds of drinks, and food portions have been very small. I will avoid flying on the routes where they use the B-787.

"better compared to other airlines"

(India)

MAA-DOH was an A333 with a 2x4x2 configuration which seems to be old. The IFE was old and the options were good. DOH-ATL a Boeing 777 200 LR with a 3x3x3 configuration. Which meant that the space was better compared to other airlines. Recline was very good too. ATL-DOH a 777 200 LR with the same configuration. Good seats, good food, Good IFE and a straight forward flight. DOH-MAA an A330 with 2x4x2 configuration. Slept throughout the flight and missed the meal onboard. Overall a great experience with Qatar Airways.

"definitely choose to fly again"

(Australia)

The flight Adelaide - Doha and return was awesome on the new A350 and everything about the flight was wonderful. The service was great and staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. The plane was so smooth and quiet that we almost didn't know we'd taken off. The seats are very comfortable as they have a larger recline than other airline seats in economy. The kids were kept entertained by the entertainment system although my 2 year old struggled as the 'baby shows' were mostly in Arabic. Even Sesame Street was an Arabic version. The food was excellent and even though my smaller child hadn't paid for a ticket she still received a meal of her own on every flight. Doha airport is new, clean and easy to navigate with a couple of play areas for kids. Also lots of spots for adults to chill out, watch tv, plug in phones to charge for free and food courts to eat in. Given the amazing rate I got and the fact that the plane was so new and the service so impeccable, I would definitely choose to fly Qatar again.

"seat was still relatively comfortable"

(United Kingdom)

Qatar Airways followed other airlines in changing the seating in their Boeing 777-300ER from 3x3x3 to 3x4x3. Surprisingly the seat was still relatively comfortable albeit the isle access was impacted. Overall a good seat and the price that I paid it was still superb value for money. Screen was good and fully working. Compared to European airlines Qatar Airways product is much better value for your money.

"changed seat configuration to 3-4-3"

(Oman)

Qatar Airways old seats configuration on B777-300er used to be one of the most comfortable seats that I had among all the carriers that I have tried. Unfortunately they changed the seats configuration to 3-4-3. The new seats have less width and are not comfortable as they were before. I had an aisle seat on the route New York To Doha and people walking to the restroom often touched my shoulder. I was disappointed with the last flight, I think I will try my best to avoid this B777-300er. I recommend the airline but not this aircraft.
