    Qatar Airways was my employer for almost 8 1/2 years and I witnessed SO many fates, especially of cabin crew members. I was ground staff somewhere in Europe, it was okay for me. But when I left the company and resigned, the last thing I was told was, "Don't think you can ever come back!" As if I would ever consider that... My conclusion: QR gives me ONE good reason to work for them (to be proud to work for THE best airline in the entire world! Yeah right...), and I have at least FIFTY arguments against it.

      In Qatar airlines cabin crew are forced to live in company apartments which are riddled with CCTV, security guards and a swipe card so that the company can enforce a curfew to prevent them spending the night elsewhere. They’re forbidden from leaving their apartment for 12 hours before every flight.
      They need permission to get married or leave the country. And they can be fired on the spot for any reason-even the tiniest infraction such as wearing the uniform while shopping. They can get fired for being pregnant and have to ask permission from the Airline to get married. And more, lots more.

    As a pilot, I once aspired to join Qatar. Then I started hearing stories of how the airline put stringent constraints on how their crews behaved and spent their free time, so I dropped the idea.
    Later, I flew the airline from India to Europe via Doha. While the flying experience was par for the course, the transit checks at Doha were painful and abasing. Haven’t flown it again. At least our luggage reached with us…

    I flew Qatar in September (Singapore-Doha-Athens) and was in Doha for a day. I agreed with everything in Josh's Qatar video. Badly maintained plane interiors, terrible handling of keeping customers on a bus for 30 minutes in 40 degree heat with no aircon, no inflight entertainment on a 3-hour supposedly premium international flight. They might think banning Josh is just being spiteful to one person, but they're seriously wrong. Millions of potential passengers will now boycott them because of this one action. It shows how they respond to criticism, and it shows disrespect to anyone thinking about using them. I can't see myself ever using them again. Qatar might as well ban me too, I have no desire to ever go back to the country.
    Doha was a wasteland of a place from what I saw and is a metaphor for the country and Qatar Airways as a whole. I saw abandoned construction projects and already decaying Fifa World Cup signs with no effort to take them down only 9 months after it ended, and even saw a half-finished hotel near Souq Waqif with the foyer left wide open with nothing inside. I almost never saw any humans other than in cars and in museums, except when I tried to walk towards a metro station across an empty parking lot and was stopped by a security guard. A shopping mall with over 100 stores I went to was mostly empty in the early afternoon. The most ridiculous experience was an abandoned statue of a FIFA World Cup mascot along the harbour. Fencing had been put up around it but was pulled down, there were no security guards and no care factor for the fencing being completely useless, I spent 10 minutes there taking photos and never saw anyone.

    Disgraceful behaviour from Qatar. I have very well off relatives that travel Qatar every single year from Adelaide to Athens. They live their sites! I'm seeing them soon and will show them your video, and dissuade them from flying Qatar again soon. Thank you for showing how spiteful and vindictive Qatar can be. They will lose customers because of this, and justifiably so IMHO. Keep up your awesome work mate. X

I normally did everything I could to avoid loooong lay-overs in Dubai. Well, let me tell you - 4 Emirates flights later, I only have good things to say. Their business class A380 out of JHB was astounding. The loooong layovers in Dubai were not as painful as I thought. Still hate travelling for business but Emirates sure softened the blow ❤❤❤❤

    Anyways it's a coincidence how in the related videos, there's a video about how Delta airlines saved passengers after that American airlines flight cancellation. It goes to show that they're still genuine good airlines out there.

    I hope we get to hear both sides of the story.

    It is important to investigate what really happened and hear both sides of the story before jumping to any conclusion.

    This is not only shameful of QR, it reflects very badly on oneworld by association (though no other oneworld airline would stoop to this level…and I personally think it’s the best alliance), but there is a oneworld group CEO that needs to monitor the issue, and it should be on the agenda for their next senior group meeting. No member will ever be able or should control another member’s practices, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be discussed in an internal forum.
    If one member is offensive, it could affect other members…even if only marginally financially, it’s an alliance branding weakness.

    What a shame for them. I've flown Qatar/Emirates/Etihad many times over this route and from Europe in Y class almost all the time. Qatar has consistently been the least satisfying experience. Doha's airport is very inconvenient too, confusing and dark. I've flown A380s most of the time and that's the precise reason why I favour Emirates now, although honestly Etihad's interior of their A380s is cosier and nicer. I don't like the 777. It's much noisier and feels more cramped.
    You gave me just another reason never to choose Qatar anymore in the future. Thanks.

    In late 2021 we used the vouchers to book 2 tickets from Male to London on Qatar. Everything looked fine and confirmed to at got to the airport. The check-in agent told us to call Qatar airways helpline in Doha..

    I was really excited to fly on Qatar for the first time last month (Nov 23) from Australia to Europe, after already flying with the other major “trinity” Gulf Airlines- Etihad and Emirates several times before.
    Unfortunately my experience was rather sub-par on all legs of my trip with inattentive crew members ( a few rude too) , poor food (some inedible which says a lot because I eat anything 😅) and confused and unhelpful ground crew in Doha Airport, one of whom had his eyes closed on the job as he was obviously so tired.
    Perhaps in other ticket classes or on a different aircraft my experience would have been better, but it really shouldn’t matter. Also, one could argue I just had bad luck but my experience was consistent on all 4x flights.
    Qatar banning you is completely unacceptable and a further deterrent from flying them in future, especially when there are other more consistent and better (in my view) options such as Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Emirates, Etihad and Cathay Pacific. Your experience just adds to the list of concerns I’ve read such as the female gynaecology check story in Doha airport, staff curfews and poor staff treatment, among others.
