I love that you always take the time to thank lounge staff on the way out. It's obvious that you're not only a top bloke and dad but also a very respectful leader of your tour business as you appear to show appreciation for every member of a team. Always get superb vibes from your vlogs
Great video! Thanks Dennis! You’ve sold us on seeing the new lounge! And, we 100% agree: Q Suite is definitely the world’s best Business Class. Favorite quote from this video: “A handle for those who need to brace or strain.” 😂😂😂
Nice Dennis, QR really are a class act. Hopefully they get a few more landing slots in Australia - maybe they need to offer Chairmans Lounge memberships to a few Aussie politicians too? 😁😆
That first glass of wine in the opening shot - I knew you were excited for us to come along on this one. The whisky tasting: your son was spot on. So lovely to see you with your family. Good showcase of the features of the seat. Still can't believe this is business class - doors that close and did I hear right dining on demand!
Stumbling upon this video was a lovely surprise. To cut a long story short, I hadn't watched any videos on this channel in years (probably last time was around the start of the pandemic), and this appeared out of nowhere in my recommendations. You look the same, you sound upbeat (no change there) and this was a fantastic video of the whole trip! Looks like Qatar are still winning the stakes in this class. Thank you for sharing / uploading 🌅
We flew with Qatar for the first time last October (2023), before the pandemic we exclusively flew with Emirates from Adelaide. To be honest we probably won’t go back to Emirates after our QSuite and Qatar experience it was fantastic and the A350 was much better than the 777 (although we did fly home on the Qatar 777). We utilised the Al Maha service on the way home to try it out and found it great as we had a short connection. We also visited the lounge you featured here was well worth the visit.
It is always nice to see your channel pop up on my feed. I appreciate the efforts and the wonderful narration you do. Aloha from the big island of Hawai'i
Flying with Qater last year in Business Class from Heathrow to Perth WA was a brilliant experience.They looked after me so well. Enjoyed the A380 from Doha to perth and the Q suite from Heathrow to Doha 🎉
Another great video, thank Dennis! I know Qatar used to fly out of Canberra but it hasn’t yet returned post COVID. Hoping they start flying back soon as I am really keen to try them out!!!
Recently took this exact route (loved Adelaide too btw!) and something that really stood out to me was just how incredibly attentive and friendly all the Qatar on board staff are. Something I noticed after my first leg LHR-DOH was the crew having a debriefing in the galley, noting any feedback from guests, asking if there was anything they could have done better and so on. Really goes to show how much they have instilled that culture of service and excellence in their crews and it really shows.
I'm flying Q-Suites in October from LHR-DOH-SIN and back again a week later. Can't wait. Especially looking forward to trying the Qatar Lounge in Changi. It's supposed to be very good. Great video as usual.
Another great review Dennis, I can relate to your travels and reviews. I would also like to commend you on providing clear information on the food and especially the wine. In so many instances I am looking at other reviewers reports only for them to overlook showing the wine list or just skipping over it briefly. Your editing and commentary is spot on, not to much and not too little. Keep up the good work. Cheers!!
Great video Dennis really enjoyed this one! Also at the beginning scenes of this video I noticed that Air Astana 🇰🇿 A321neo will there be a full video review of that too? I hope so I’d really like to see that! The new Qatar Garden Al Mourjan lounge looks ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! However, Qatar have always had some of the best lounges around at least in my opinion! 😅What a lovely review also at 2:25 that steak 🥩 looks pretty perfect in the lounge and the Qatar Q-Suite is ALWAYS STUNNING I cannot wait to fly it someday when I have enough miles! 😂 Cheers 🥂 here’s to one sensational review! -Caleb’s Aviation
Great video, Dennis. I recently had the oposite issue with my qsuite door gliding too easily. It wouldn't remain closed when the plane was ascending. The garden lounge is exceptional and I especially appreciated the attentive table service by the staff.
As usual, another great review Dennis. Nice to see you treating your son too. I once worked for a travel company where the CEO would fly business class while his kids sat back in economy! Meanwhile, I continue to buy those lottery tickets and dream.
Gordon Ramsay is famous for doing the same. He wanted to teach his kids that they had to earn luxury. I can see the logic but I'd rather share the fruits of my hard work with my dearest
Definitely the best business class out there, the product overall is well designed. Food and drinks selection are great! My favourite is the blanket, so comfy!
Thanks for the review Dennis, we flew Q-Suite back in 2018 DOH-FRA after AKL-DOH (which was the old Biz seating), flying Q-Suite AKL-DOH next month for 17 hours, can't wait!
Thanks for the review, first Qsuite flight for us in December so to see an up to date review was so useful. Normally fly Emirates or Etihad in 1st and Business but so excited for the Qatar experience!!
I flew Qsuites from Melbourne to Doha to LAX return last year and each leg of my trip was fantastic. The food was phenomenal. I particularly loved the afternoon tea. The staff were lovely too. I'm hoping to do it again next year. I look at it as thought the flight is part of the holiday, not just the 'getting there'.
My wife and I travelled to Edinburgh from Auckland, NZ, last September on Qatar, cattle class. The first seventeen and a half hour leg was, a trip best forgotten. The Airbus A350 we travelled in was, shall we say, well past its use by date! I had almost zero knee room so I was forced to either, sit with splayed legs or sit slightly sideways. The squab in my seat was collapsed so the centre stuck up with little support on the sides. Talk about discomfort! My seat wouldn’t recline so when the person in front of me reclined theirs, i was stuck with a gap of about ten inches between my screen and my face so was forced to not watch anything! My wife’s seat reclined ok but when trying to put the seat upright, before landing, it wouldn’t! Crew tried to rectify it but couldn’t and then four or five others in the same section as ours struck the same problem. The crew were a bit pissed and it showed. Not their fault! Food was mediocre, not that that really mattered! Fly with Qatar again? Not unless hell freezes over!!! Return flight flew with British Airways, Heathrow to Houston. On a Dreamliner I think it was. Excellent! Air New Zealand from Houston to Auckland, again on a Dreamliner. Economy Skycouch, it was great having the extra space! Another great flight!
That lounge looks awesome and huge! (Apart from the typo at 5:21 'Waguy beef'). QSuite is a formidable product... as long as your plane doesn't get changed last minute. And great video as usual!
NICE. We’re doing the UK at Christmas. Flying out of Adelaide 😎 … couple of questions, what’s available in Adelaide Airport for Qclass? Is it worth getting there early as I’m not seeing a Qatar lounge? Also do you get to keep the PJ’s? 😂
Well Denis, you have let the cat out of the bag about the Garden Lounge ! We flew through on our way home form the Uk from Adelaide and made an effort to find the garden. It was as good as you show and the non dining end was almost empty. SO, so relaxing and better than the main lounge. I think I prefer it to the Al Safwa. Qsuite to and from Adelaide is one of life's real pleasures, as Adelaide is such a great airport; always friendly and efficient, and usually ina taxi within about 35 minutes of landing. Bravo Adelaide.
As much as I hate to admit this. From your video, I would have to agree that Qatar is on another level compared to the other (good) carriers' bussiness classes. great video, great review! Thanks!
I hope I eventually get to experience the QSuite. My last 4 flights with Qatar were to be in QSuites but eith last minute equipment changes they were non QSuite flights. One flight was on a 2-2-2 configuration straight out of the 1980's and must have been the oldest aircraft in their fleet.
I always enjoy your flight reviews but I would like to see you eat more such as sample inflight snacks .. some airlines have terrific offerings. Again, really enjoy your reviews!!
Hi Dennis, I love all your videos and this one is awesome. Keen to try Q Suite but wondering what is the most affordable time to fly and what would be the longest route offered? It all looks fantastic.
I was there on Saturday. Flew the Qsuites from Bangkok to Doha. Amazing experience. Great food. As a whisky review channel I was a bit disappointed with their whisky selection.
You bring a whole new meaning to travel. You do it beautifully and with humour. I will be taking Qatar Airways to Doha from Seattle on the new Q Suites so I am watching in awe. Thank you Dennis. I hope I actually run into you sometime. P.S Someone fixed his hair at the end of the video! 😂😂😂
I love Qsuites and I started using Qatar since 2021. This November I am again using Qatar. It will be 5 times since then. Service and lounge is excellent.
Very Good video, I always flying Qatar air ways Business class, they are the best, very welcoming, food is perfect, Business lounges at Al Doha is beyond imagination, also Qatar one of the best county you can live at, very safe almost no crime, you never think to lock your car, very respectful to women and other people.
I have never flown on Qatar before and I'm sure they have a solid product. However, I paused the video when you showed the seat controls and I did not see a La-Z-Boy type leg rest which can be deployed. That is, imo, a massive oversight. Having such a feature is super important to me when I choose an airline to fly with. And that's why I watch flight reviews.
Tried that lounge a few days ago for the second time. I like it but the only downside I thought was that I can feel a bit warm at times, maybe because it’s so open and the AC might not cope with the 40 degrees outside. Apart from that nice, clean, nice food options and friendly staff 😊
So glad there is appreciation for the AM Garden lounge at DOH! I actually prefer it in decor/ambience to Al Safwa First. The gardens themselves are fun to walk through on a layover as well. The Q Suite is well known and seriously the best business class I've travelled on. I love the seat, food, amenities, service. Too it MAD-DOH and DOH-ZRH earlier this year, and very much looking forward to it again in Feb on the way to Australia. Another great review, Dennis! (P.S. your son is hilarious... very Aussie!)
Flew Qatar a few times in economy and got bumped up to business class out of the blue. I can NEVER go back to economy again. They spoiled me. Truly the top of the tier in international flight. From aircraft, crew and lounges it doesnt get better.
Missed a connection in Doha. Spent 6 hours over night in the garden lounge. My personal favourite any where in the world now. Qatar on board service is wonderful. Been lucky to have the q suite and the real old 2-2-2 and every product in between. But service is just so good regardless.
Really nice done. AM Garden is not really new in that sense, but its a great lounge. The only, in my opinion downside with QR lounges is that alcohol is far away, that goes for all QR lounges in DOH. Using one of these far away seatings and I'd have to walk a great distance to just get another beer or refill my glass of wine. Even at Emirates lounges I can grab a beer in the closest frige. I also miss qsuite here in Scandinavia its 789s with the "fake" qsuite and they are so uncomfortable
Flew QR To CDG via DOH ex AKL the. CDG to AKL via DOH last year.. absolutely fantastic service and flight. Still have my PJs hahaha they super comfy. Crew were super professional and always on hand when u needed them.
@@mcarroll1823 not sure about changing size tbh… and possibly change in suite, but it’s not fully enclosed from floor to ceiling so people walking past would see you. There’s PLENTY room in bathroom. Also only Business class use those bathroom so they are very clean as less people use them
Hi Dennis. Some years ago it was risky booking Qatar because your plane may be changed at the last moment for one without business class doors. Is it still like that? I love your videos - always have.
Nice one mate! Definitely on my bucket list, hopefully I win the lotto to make it happen. Looking forward to seeing you trying out Cathay’s new Aria Suite coming later this year.
We flew from Aukland to Doha and on to London last December. Amazing experience. Interestingly, the plane did not stop in Adelaide on the way although initially it was supposed to. It became Qatar's longest flight. Any ideas why it only sometimes goes via Adelaide? Next year we get to fly from SFO to DOH on to DEL. Can't wait.
The linking of Adelaide and Auckland was only temporary whilst Qatar was waiting for more aircraft and crew to come back online. As soon as they had the aircraft the Auckland Doha service returned to being a stand alone service like it was pre-covid. It was great while it lasted though with brilliant service between Adelaide and Auckland.
Goede video Dennis. Qatar BC lijkt me heel fijn om grote afstanden te vliegen. Wat een leuke zoon heb je. Spreken je kinderen Nederlands? Groetjes uit Holland😄🇾🇪😘
Thank you for the great review as always! While I do think QR has one of the best business class products in the world, I feel it isn't quite as good as it used to be pre-covid. 1) The post-meal chocolates aren't appearing as consistently anymore - although I do prefer Laderach to Godiva! 2) On one of my recent flights DOH-SIN, they ran out of not 1 but 2 of my meal choices (an appetizer and a breakfast main)! This is despite making my order when I boarded. Staff said that they're not given a lot of stock from the kitchens - a little cost cutting perhaps? All they really need to do is open up their pre-select dining to cover the entire menu. That'll solve the problem of incorrect supply ratios and food wastage. Having said all that, while they're not as good as they used to be, they're still very much a cut above many other airlines. Hoping for a return to pre-covid service levels on my next flights with them!
There's no doubt Qatar's Q-suite is the best business product flying in and out of Adelaide. Emirates doesn't even come close with the older aircraft and its dated business class layout it uses for Adelaide - Dubai. I'm very much looking forward to Qantas' private suites on its new A350s but that will mean a hop-over from Adelaide to Melbourne.
Ah, Dennis, a classic Bunnik presentation as per usual. The lounge was up to scratch in 2023 returning from Paris. Qatar does a great job in keeping its clients well fed, comfortable and surprised by the service. Thanks and keep them coming. PS can you persuade Jeb and Suzanne Brooks to visit our shores for an aviation get together to celebrate the post Covid recovery?
Hands down the best 'looking lounge!' much better than the one we visited in Doha flying Qatar And the best cabin manager we have every had ( short of our QF1 First experience ) was on our Qatar 777 flight DOH to AMS
really good suite and crew when i flew with them, they changed my schedule with only hours before we flew, 2hours late leaving heathrow which meant i missed my ongoing flight to mnl so spent 8hrs in the lounge great as it is, so i missed my domestic flight in manila but to be fair to qatar they paid compensation and refund was quick and easy.
Qatar flight crews are lovely but the ground crew leaves a lot to be desired, especially when you have missing luggage. JAL and Qantas are more proactive in this regard.
I love that you always take the time to thank lounge staff on the way out. It's obvious that you're not only a top bloke and dad but also a very respectful leader of your tour business as you appear to show appreciation for every member of a team. Always get superb vibes from your vlogs
‘Practice running to your gate’. LMAO 😂😂. Great video, Dennis.
Great video! Thanks Dennis! You’ve sold us on seeing the new lounge! And, we 100% agree: Q Suite is definitely the world’s best Business Class.

That also had me laughing!

😂😂 I’m dying over here Paul! 🤪 You’re too much mate!
Mate you’re a legend 😂
Qatar are maybe not PC enough Australian politicians ( no reference is made to any particular political party )
You too!❤
Thanks mate. Sadly I don't think the Minister for Qantas will be approving additional flights any time soon.
@@DennisBunnikTravels hahahaha well said

That lounge looks absolutely magnificent. Maybe one day for me.
I am glad you did a video review of Qatar Q suite as it is currently. Thank you for the reviews. I enjoy them. Best wishes!
We did BC on Qatar in their Q suite this February. Flew from Dallas to Doha. It was one of the best flights we have ever had.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Do you recommend any best seats?

Omg practice running to your gate lol 🤣🤣 always great seeing your videos

So glad there is appreciation for the AM Garden lounge at DOH! I actually prefer it in decor/ambience to Al Safwa First. The gardens themselves are fun to walk through on a layover as well.
The Q Suite is well known and seriously the best business class I've travelled on. I love the seat, food, amenities, service. Too it MAD-DOH and DOH-ZRH earlier this year, and very much looking forward to it again in Feb on the way to Australia.
Another great review, Dennis! (P.S. your son is hilarious... very Aussie!)
It's on the bucket list for sure to fly Qatar business. Just need a lottery win first 🙂
That scene at 38 seconds was actually in Samarakant, Uzbekistan, rather than Kazakhstan.
Flew Qatar a few times in economy and got bumped up to business class out of the blue. I can NEVER go back to economy again. They spoiled me. Truly the top of the tier in international flight. From aircraft, crew and lounges it doesnt get better.
Missed a connection in Doha. Spent 6 hours over night in the garden lounge. My personal favourite any where in the world now. Qatar on board service is wonderful. Been lucky to have the q suite and the real old 2-2-2 and every product in between. But service is just so good regardless.
Really nice done.
AM Garden is not really new in that sense, but its a great lounge.
The only, in my opinion downside with QR lounges is that alcohol is far away, that goes for all QR lounges in DOH. Using one of these far away seatings and I'd have to walk a great distance to just get another beer or refill my glass of wine. Even at Emirates lounges I can grab a beer in the closest frige.
I also miss qsuite here in Scandinavia its 789s with the "fake" qsuite and they are so uncomfortable
Thank you very much, Dennis, for sharing your great flight review video with us!
Another amazing review!!!!
Flew QR To CDG via DOH ex AKL the. CDG to AKL via DOH last year.. absolutely fantastic service and flight. Still have my PJs hahaha they super comfy. Crew were super professional and always on hand when u needed them.
Flying in a few weeks. How to select correct size pajamas and can I change in suite, hate public bathrooms. Thanks.
@@mcarroll1823 not sure about changing size tbh… and possibly change in suite, but it’s not fully enclosed from floor to ceiling so people walking past would see you. There’s PLENTY room in bathroom. Also only Business class use those bathroom so they are very clean as less people use them
Hi Dennis. Some years ago it was risky booking Qatar because your plane may be changed at the last moment for one without business class doors. Is it still like that? I love your videos - always have.
Gym to practice running to the gate... Luv u Dennis.
I'm gonna ask Josh Cahill what he thinks! 😉 Lol 😂
Nice one mate! Definitely on my bucket list, hopefully I win the lotto to make it happen.
Looking forward to seeing you trying out Cathay’s new Aria Suite coming later this year.
We flew from Aukland to Doha and on to London last December. Amazing experience. Interestingly, the plane did not stop in Adelaide on the way although initially it was supposed to. It became Qatar's longest flight. Any ideas why it only sometimes goes via Adelaide?
Next year we get to fly from SFO to DOH on to DEL. Can't wait.
The linking of Adelaide and Auckland was only temporary whilst Qatar was waiting for more aircraft and crew to come back online. As soon as they had the aircraft the Auckland Doha service returned to being a stand alone service like it was pre-covid. It was great while it lasted though with brilliant service between Adelaide and Auckland.
We did the '4' config earlier in the year - really great to keep an eye on the kids :-)
Goede video Dennis. Qatar BC lijkt me heel fijn om grote afstanden te vliegen. Wat een leuke zoon heb je. Spreken je kinderen Nederlands? Groetjes uit Holland😄🇾🇪😘
HI Dennis Thank you for another great video.
Is lounge access the same as in the United States, 3 hours only before your flight leaves?
the sarcasm here is on point as always 👌 😂
Opnieuw weer een sterke/leuke video Dennis!
Hey mate, probably a silly question.
Can you still get lounge access if you dont fly business and dont have access through premium card access??
Mr Bunnik is quite the jet setter, cheers.
Have flown Q Suites, amazing experience 👌
Lower body mirrors are very helpful for many who have stomas.
great review Dennis. Hoping one day i can make it on the Q suite
Great video as always Dennis! I think Qatar took a look at the lounge(s) by Singapore Airways at Changi and wanted to beat them!!
Thank you for the great review as always! While I do think QR has one of the best business class products in the world, I feel it isn't quite as good as it used to be pre-covid. 1) The post-meal chocolates aren't appearing as consistently anymore - although I do prefer Laderach to Godiva! 2) On one of my recent flights DOH-SIN, they ran out of not 1 but 2 of my meal choices (an appetizer and a breakfast main)!

All they really need to do is open up their pre-select dining to cover the entire menu. That'll solve the problem of incorrect supply ratios and food wastage. Having said all that, while they're not as good as they used to be, they're still very much a cut above many other airlines. Hoping for a return to pre-covid service levels on my next flights with them!
that was a nappy change table! the "seat" over the toilet! Thought you would have known that! he he he!
Absolutely fantastic video Dennis!
There's no doubt Qatar's Q-suite is the best business product flying in and out of Adelaide. Emirates doesn't even come close with the older aircraft and its dated business class layout it uses for Adelaide - Dubai. I'm very much looking forward to Qantas' private suites on its new A350s but that will mean a hop-over from Adelaide to Melbourne.
Ah, Dennis, a classic Bunnik presentation as per usual. The lounge was up to scratch in 2023 returning from Paris. Qatar does a great job in keeping its clients well fed, comfortable and surprised by the service. Thanks and keep them coming. PS can you persuade Jeb and Suzanne Brooks to visit our shores for an aviation get together to celebrate the post Covid recovery?
Amazing video Dennis. Very envious of your travels!
Nice video Chief. On my bucket list 😅
And the best dad award goes to … !!! 😁
Great review! Your last name sounds Dutch btw
I Goo For The Glenlivet.Great Trip Report
Hands down the best 'looking lounge!' much better than the one we visited in Doha flying Qatar
And the best cabin manager we have every had ( short of our QF1 First experience ) was on our Qatar 777 flight DOH to AMS
I had no idea Ryan Gosling's your son! 😉
Great video and coverage of both the new lounge and I’m glad to see Qatar is still the best airline
❤❤❤Nice video, Dennis!!❤❤❤
It’s a fantastic lounge and airline!
It’s a small thing, but I think the QSuite on the 777 is better than the one on the A350, having flown both long haul.
Dennis good to see you and your son hope you are all ok - Kevin & Cyndy UK
really good suite and crew when i flew with them, they changed my schedule with only hours before we flew, 2hours late leaving heathrow which meant i missed my ongoing flight to mnl so spent 8hrs in the lounge great as it is, so i missed my domestic flight in manila but to be fair to qatar they paid compensation and refund was quick and easy.
Qatar flight crews are lovely but the ground crew leaves a lot to be desired, especially when you have missing luggage. JAL and Qantas are more proactive in this regard.
Dennis a great video I would have thought Emirates would be up and on a par with Qatar in business class but that is just my opinion.
Great video Dennis
Gorgeous son, he has your eyes.
Lovely video but better airport than Changi?
Qatar all the way. Thanks Dennis
Looks like you've drunk the Qatar Kool-Aid.
