I'd tend to agree, Colin (and glad you enjoyed the video). Even though the business class product on the 788 is nowhere near as good as the Q Suites, I still found the onboard service from the cabin crew to be excellent - and couldn't fault the lounge at all.
@@GLAFlyjust incase yur flying in a 787 & u want to shoot the on the sky & the dimmable windows is locked, can u use auto white balance / exposure / brightness to compensate for the blue tint of the locked windows?
I’ve just watched both of your Qatar flight reviews from LAX through to DUB. Both flights looked great, with awesome service. The lounge in Doha looks stunning. What a great experience. I’d certainly put that on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks Nick - glad you enjoyed both the videos. If you ever get the change to fly them, I'd certainly recommend it (and it doesn't need to break the bank either - I did thisntrip as an Avios redemption, so it cost me 90k avios and £169 at the time, which was a relative bargain.
@@nickalliker6219 Just need to watch out if you're starting or ending in the UK, as the UK APD can whack up the fees a bit (which is why I opted to arrive in Dublin).
Thanks Ian. Had some health issues to deal with recently (nothing serious, but limited travel and time for editing), so hopefully be a bit more regular again. Currently aiming for 1 video every 4 weeks until I get some more travel booked.
I, taking this product on the weekend, so it was great to get a heads up from your really informative video! Thanks mate, I'm looking forward to it now, especially that lounge!!!!!
Thanks Simon - glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a fantastic flight, and feel free to let me know what you thought of the lounge once you've been - it really is pretty awesome!
@erinkimbrell3196 thanks - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Q suites are still my all time favourite business class seat (so far) of any airline I've flown - so I'm sure you will have a great time! Happy travels!
@homeandbeyond988 I was really impressed with Qatar's service on both my flights. Is it the A380 you'll be on from Perth? If so, it's the same seats as I had on the 787-8, but you also get the onboard bar! Hope you have a good layover in Doha as the lounge is excellent.
Great video ! Only just found your channel, just subscribed. I have yet to fly QR in any class, I have flown Emirates a few times but must try QR soon. Glad I found your channel !
Thanks, John, and welcome to the channel - thanks for subscribing. I've only flown with the twice so far (1 ticket LAX-DOH-DUB), so don't know how their economy product measures up, but I was certainly sold on their business class offering from this experience. It's a cut above what I'm used to from Western carriers. Hope you enjoy the other videos!
excellent video! gonna fly qatar a350 in a month as well as their 777 leased from cathay on a family trip! I really like Hamad International. Everything under one roof, slick design, calming spaces. That bus gate was way up there in the north expansion, wasn't it? How long did it take you to get from the Al Mourjan lounge to that particular gate? Did you take the train?
Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video. Think it was about 15 minutes, but I wasn't really paying attention (and keep in mind by this point I'd had a 15 1/2 hour flight from LA and an 8 hour layover, so time was fairly fluid at that point 😀. Didn't need to take the train, but would love to give it a go next time - and pay a visit to the garden lounge.
The video already has subtitles available in both English and Arabic - just switch them on in UA-cam. Was it something else in particular you were looking for?
That certainly would not entice me to part with my money. The seats are literally on top of each other, with absolutely no privacy at all..paying to go business i would expect more ,
It's one of the down-sides of Qatar - they have so many "Business" products. You have the Q-suite (and "next gen Q-suite) at the top end, and then these open seats nearer the bottom - but they also still have some aircraft flying long-haul with 2-2-2 seating - in this day and age, hence the widely used term of "being Qatar'd" with last minute equipment swaps. It was still a lovely flight, but not the same experience as the previous flight i'd connected from (LAX-DOH on the 777 in Q-Suites)
This has to be one of, if not the best business experience available. Great airline, and an enjoyable video.

@jirehla-ab1671 Thanks so much for letting me know - that's great advice and I'll keep it in mind! Hope you enjoyed the video!
@@GLAFly not sure if that will work but I was asking a question
Nice trip report my second favourite airline the first airline I got upgraded from economy to Business thank you Qatar airways.
Cheers - glad you enjoyed - and great result getting an upgrade!

Nice video. I am flying Qsuites Bali to Miami via Doha next February and am really looking forward to it.

@@GLAFly agreed, only Singapore Airlines is close in my humble opinion. Glad to see they fly to Dublin. Have to do that in 2026.
@erinkimbrell3196 I've not had the chance to fly Singapore Airlines yet - absolutely want to try them out at some point as they look incredible.
@@GLAFly Singapore Air is very good and Changi Airport is fantastic. You will enjoy both.
@erinkimbrell3196 Changi is a bucket-list visit for me - I think it looks like an incredible airport and I'm sure it won't dissapoint! Thanks.
Thankyou for this. My partner and I are planning a trip to Dublin from Perth, Western Australia. Next year so this helps alot
Delighted that you found the video helpful 😀. Hope you have a fantastic trip over to Dublin - have you flown with them before?
@@GLAFly no this will be our 1st time with the airline

@@houseandbeyond988 Jealous! Would love to try out their A380. Haven't been in a bar/lounge onboard on any aircraft yet.
Wow wow wow I like it

we need some subtitles
