Thank you for this wonderful video! It took me back when I flew with Qatar Airways Q Suite for my honeymoon in 2019. It was absolutely amazing! Can't wait to fly with them again 😊
Thanks - I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and that it brought back such happy memories for you. It's a great product and the service onboard is wonderful.
Thanks George. It was definitely one of (if not THE) best flight's I've ever taken. Would love to fly them again - and even outwith the qsuites, the service seems to be just as good.
Cheers Ryan. Its certainly a product I'd like to try again as soon as i get the chance. I flew on one of then788 cabins after this flight and it was still a great service, but the hard product is very different from the qsuite and a lot less private.
Another great video; and what a stunning flight. The service and hard product looked absolutely top class. I definitely need to do a Qatar flight one day. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Nick. If you're in a position to do so, then I'd absolutely recommend it - it blew me away. I'll have another video out soon that shows the business class seat on their 787-800 (which I think is the same seat they use on the A380 and some of the their A350-900 aircraft) - still a very good hard product, but service seems to be just as good in business class regardless of the seat onboard (although Qsuites is the way to go if you get the chance).
The OneWorld business lounge across the hall is nice too - but the Qantas F lounge is defo better. That said, the AA Flagship lounge in T4 has fantastic views and I rate it as well (but I don't rate belly pokes! 🤣)
I know - I think they go to Edinburgh, but it was easier (and cheaper) for me to fly back via Dublin (video of that leg still to come). Seems nobody other than Emirates wants to fly long haul scheduled flights from Glasgow these days. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Loved this. What a great experience you must have had. I've only flown in Qatar's older business class seats so, while comfortable, not a patch on what you experienced. Food was the same standard and as good as you say, though and you're right, BA's business class catering rarely fails to underwhelm by comparison (don't get me started on AA's). Looking forward to your video on the Dublin flight.
Cheers - glad you enjoyed it. It really did blow me away how good the service was (on top of an amazing hard product) - it's not often that things live up to the hype. As for my next flight....you'll just have to wait for the next video to find out 😁
I find your review to be relaxing and enjoyable. I certainly don't blame you for going out of your way to fly Qsuites. I would do the same thing if I had the opportunity. The catering on your flight looked incredible..
Thanks David - glad you enjoyed it. The food was really excellent and helped by the presentation (which cam make all the difference). It all felt very fresh and tasty.
Such a thorough review, and very enjoyable too. I learned a few things in this video… 1. I have no desire to travel through LAX (never been), and particularly the Tom Bradley terminal. It looks like purgatory. 2. Yay, fellow Soundcore enthusiast! The Life Q35 is one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I’m definitely going to look into getting that transmitter. 3. New life motto from Qatar - Chocolate is happiness you can eat. Yes, yes it is. Brilliant stuff! Lyny x
Thanks Lyny - glad you enjoyed the video. To be fair, TBIT was actually not bad (although i'll admit that security was a dream thanks to my TSA Pre-Check having been approved a few days prior, and actually being on my Qatar BP!). I found security here a lot more pleasant than T4, for example (although T6 is still my favorite - they are just so chilled out in there). I'd rate the experience at TBIT ahead of LHR T5 (if you remove First Wing from the equation) in terms of experience. Haven't tried the Q35 - i've got the Q20+ which they no longer make, but we recently got my youngest the Q30 and they loved it. The AirFly bluetooth dongle is awesome - saves cables getting in the way (you just have to watch where the headphone jack is on the seat though - nearly snapped it a couple of times on the older style BA seats in Club World). I think mine is the Duo, and has a batter that will go for about 20 hours, so it's great for long trips. The chocs were lush too - needless to say they didn't last very long after appearing....
Thanks Tony. Was dissapointed initially when they swapped from the A350-1000 a couple of weeks before the flight, but the 777-300 was great - seems to have the same lower cabin pressure of modern aircraft and was really comfortable. Seat was just the same, so it was still a fantastic flight.
Thank you for a great video. I will be flying from Australia to Doha and then on to LAX in a few weeks in a Qsuite and I am looking forward to it. Thanks for showing me where everything is. I'll be sitting in rear facing window seats on all trips. Did you feel any different not sitting face forward? Thanks again for a great review.
Hi Bev - glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for leaving me a comment. Crikey - that's a long way to get to LAX (but I'm assuming there's a reason behind your choice of route). You'll certainly get plenty of time to enjoy the hard products onboard, and I would be surprised if you even feel any difference in the rear facing seat, other than at take-off (as the acceleration will be pushing you forward slightly, rather than back into you chair). I've flown rear facing with BA and Qatar (and on a few ATR 42s in the past) - never been an issue for me. Hope you have a great flight!
@@GLAFly Thanks heaps for replying. Much appreciated. It's been on my bucket list to do QSuites, and as I was in the most locked down country or state in the world, I thought my not do it in style 🙂
Excellent video! Not a noticeably different experience from being on a 777... I don't recall Qatar ever showing any interest in the weight of my carry-on - perhaps yours looks heavy!!! I'm getting regular promotional mails from them now they've reopened the Sao Paolo route which is tempting me - 1,000 miles shorter than LA but still pretty epic!
Cheers Matt! Thankfully came without the medical diversion to Iceland that you had, but it was a great flight - really has me wanting to try them again as soon as I can!
@@GLAFly 5 extra hours in that seat? Wasn't a disaster... More time on the plane versus time in the lounge! Interesting also to see the Qantas F lounge - 2 attempts to get in by me, neither successful! Bigger than I thought it would be...
@@MattsPlanet was that just because it was still closed when you went through? Food and drink were a lot better, but tbh, I prefer the AA Flagship lounge for its views alone! As for the seat - yeah, if i had to be stuck in one for a few hours extra, that would be my seat of choice!
@@GLAFly First time was before the you-know-what and the kitchen had a water issue so they were only letting actual passengers in. I'd walked miles from T6 so was a bit annoyed! But the OneWorld Business lounge isn't bad and the flagship lounge is quite good... Second time through they'd not reopened... OneWorld business lounge again!
@@MattsPlanet Similar to myself - was closed both previous times I'd been through (although first time I was still just a silver, so wouldn't have got in anyway). Certainly worse lounges than the OneWorld Business lounge to try out (when I tried that in 2021, I'd done the trek all the way from T6 as well - don't think they get a lot of Alaska travelers coming through to them!)
Thanks Stephen. Ooh - Auckland is on my list to visit at some point in the future, so I'm quite envious - you'll certainly get a chance to enjoy yourself with such a long flight. Only advice I have is just to relax and enjoy - its a great seat and you'll be well looked after onboard. The lounge at Doha is fantastic, so you'll get a good chance to freshen up in between flights (assuming you have a few hours between connections). Keep an eye out on your DOH-AKL leg as you'll be able to pre-select your meal choice for that flight a few weeks before the flight. Where are you flying from - is it Heathrow?
@@GLAFly I've opted for a longer layover (about 7-8 hours) to experience the lounge at Doha and, to prevent any disasters with connecting flights in case of delays. I will be flying out of Heathrow, I'm not sure on lounge access there if you have any experience? I shall keep an eye out for the meal option.
@@stephenhackles46 I had an 8 hour layover on this journey too - will give you plenty of time to relax and enjoy the lounge. I'll have a video out soon covering my Doha to Dublin flight which includes a review of the lounge (its huge), so you might find that useful. I haven't flown with them via Heathrow but I believe their lounge at Heathrow is meant to be quite good.
@@GLAFly thanks! love the vid, btw. My wife and I are booked for later this year. We wanted back-to-back windows so we're currently in 9J/10K. But I'm contemplating changing my seat (10K) to 8K. Worth it for the engine view? Thoughts?
@@mattgoldberg8578 That's a very subjective question 🤔. If you're on the same type of aircraft (the 777-300), then you'll be more side-on with your view of the engine and wing, so it might be worth moving - depends how much time you are going to be looking out the window. The other advantage to moving to 8K is that you can stand up and see your wife if you are trying to catch her attention - not sure how easy that is with the back to back arrangement of the 9J/10K config. As with all things, it's down to personal preference - but always keep in mind that Qatar might do an equipment swap - and if it's on the LAX route, then they frequently use the A350-1000 aircraft, so your wing view might end up different anyway. I'm sure it will be a great flight either way!
Lol - yeah, I had a couple of glasses of the rosé as well (and was a bit shocked when I checked the price after the flight 😱) but I disnt find myself drinking a whole lot on the flight. I had a 7 hour layover in Doha ahead of me, so had to pace myself :-). Both champagnes were very pleasant!
I think Europeans and Americans they need to learn from these airlines and learn hospitality from those countries I was flying stingy British airways business class I asked for extra bread and they didn't give me stingy British which they count every single thing unfortunately in Europe they just like to over charge but when it comes to service they are dying to give you good service at least US carriers in business class they will give you extra bread they have a little bit manner!
Hi Robert - thanks for leaving a comment! Sorry to hear about your experience with BA - i've been fortunate that the majority of my flights with them have been good or excellent (a few where there have been issues), but I agree that, compared to Asian or Middle Eastern carriers, the service offering can be left wanting.
What a treat to fly in the Q Suites on such a long hop! Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure, Dirk - glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for this wonderful video! It took me back when I flew with Qatar Airways Q Suite for my honeymoon in 2019. It was absolutely amazing!
Can't wait to fly with them again 😊

Cheers Ross.
Qatar qsuites always go down a treat - great video!
Cheers Ryan. Its certainly a product I'd like to try again as soon as i get the chance. I flew on one of then788 cabins after this flight and it was still a great service, but the hard product is very different from the qsuite and a lot less private.
Wow. I wish I can fly this cabin one day. I have only flown economy to Amritsar via Doha and that was good.
It's a great cabin - and great service from Qatar. I booked this using Avios, so it cost a lot less than it would if i'd booked it 1 way for cash!
What a great way to spend 15 hours on. :D Nice video!
The amazing thing was that it really didn't feel that long by the time I got off.
Good video. There services look great
Glad you enjoyed the video, and yeah - service onboard was fantastic!

The most pokeable belly in the air!!! I've got to check out that Qantas lounge at LAX sometime. Only been to the other one across the hall.
- Red
The OneWorld business lounge across the hall is nice too - but the Qantas F lounge is defo better. That said, the AA Flagship lounge in T4 has fantastic views and I rate it as well (but I don't rate belly pokes! 🤣)
0:36 Thankfully still they are Q-Suites 😂😂! Hope to fly it soon
Grab the chance if you're lucky enough to try it - i found it a great seat - and service on my flight was excellent!
This was a very informative video! Thanks for sharing
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
nice video mate always liked flying qatar airways, pity they don’t fly into glasgow
I know - I think they go to Edinburgh, but it was easier (and cheaper) for me to fly back via Dublin (video of that leg still to come). Seems nobody other than Emirates wants to fly long haul scheduled flights from Glasgow these days. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Another great video with an amazing service from Qatar. Also the 777 looked brilliant. Great stuff👏

I Like Qatar Airlines Qsuites But My Opinion Is That ANA The Room Business Class Are The Best In The World.Great Trip Report
I've heard great things about ANA's "The Room" but haven't had the opportunity to try them yet. Hopefully one for a future trip! 🙂
