Booked Qatar from Marrakech to Auckland returning to amsterdam both with a layover in Doha. On booking i was shocked to recieve a phonecall from the Moroccan Qatar Airway office to thank me for booking with them and to state that I will have a complementry room & food vouchers at Hamad International and the choice of a bus tour of Doha on my 23 hour layover in Doha!! All that for economy class!! Amazing!
Qatar airways is my favourite airline I’ve ever flown with. The staff were extremely kind, the seats are comfy (I always fly economy), the meals are good and the entertainment system is great.
Qatar airways for me. Just travelled with them last month. Best experience ever out of all the airlines I have travelled with. For me the highlight of the trip was the complimentary 1 hour Wi-Fi on each leg of my journey
Used to fly Qatar some time ago to South Korea with transferring at Doha and loved it ! Since so many seats were not occupied the stuff offered us to change our seats! And the Doha airport was super new and convenient ! This time We are flying Emirates to Japan with Transfer at Dubai and i am looking forward to experiencing it ...thanks for the information
I would actually really love it if you could do more of these comparative type of videos. Would love to see a comparison between JAL and ANA as well as between Eva & Cathay pacific and also between Korean and Asiana. Singapore and Malaysian would be interesting as well because they have a common origin.
Surprised, found Etihad service to be far superior to Emirates in my own experience. Was on an Etihad A330 and A320 so perhaps it's different based on route/aircraft. Also found Etihad reward system to be quite good!
I do not know about other airlines but the fact that Qatar airways provides food vouchers during transits and a 5 star hotel room accommodation if your transit exceeds 8 hours, for me that is the ticket buying point. And as said in the video above Hamad International airport is one of the kind and their flight attendants are extremely polite and helpful.
I have never been o/seas from Australia,,(I'm 64 and travel alone) I was really worried about booking, however, the flights I wanted happen to be Qatar and a 5hr stopover in Doha. Your video has put me completely at rest, thank you and keep up the good work
Did you take your trip? I am a 30YO female who travels alone from Sydney regularly through Doha/Dubai/Abu Dhabi. Trust me, they’re all great airports, and you’ll be fine.
kateemma22 all is good 10 hrs into the flight they run out of toilet paper,, that was a laugh. Doha airport is the most expensive place on earth, but it was a good flight
Hamad international airport is just next level. If you want to try the best flights try business or first class at Qatarairways. Other airlines should take notes
I took Qatar airline back in 2015 & their service is 100/100, the cabin crew were very friendly & nice. My flight was delayed for 8hrs & I was offered a very nice hotel to stay in. The airport is outstanding! Very clean. I’m flying with Emirates for the first time this week, I’ll see how it goes.
It’s not equal about ! You did Economy class on different aircraft , its need to be on the same aircraft . Etihad : A380 and B777-300ER Emirates : A380 and B777-300ER Qatar : A380 and B777-300ER same aircraft ( More Equal )
He explained why he did it this way in the first video. For each airline he chose the aircraft types you are most likely to with fly when you book the airline. Sure he could compare all threes A380 products. But it's quiet unlikely that you fly an A380 when booking Qatar or Etihad since it is not their main product.
Awesome totally agree! Just to add to Qatar's great review, from our experience they have the cleanest/most consistently maintained bathrooms in-flight among the three. Some folks consider this a huge factor in choosing hehe
hello Dan love your vlogs but with all due respect if you are going to do this kind of review, surely you should fly from the same point of departure for every flight. you can not compare flying from Heathrow to Doha with Qatar in economy, and then flying economy from Mumbai to Dubai with Emirates and then from Cape town to Abu Dhabi with Etihad, it dos not give a balanced review. if you left from the same airport with the three different carriers then that is a fantastic comparison. and this is not a criticism, just a balanced observation.
trying flying from Auckland New Zealand to Doha Economy 17 hrs 40 mins. Amazing crew wasn't looking forward to it but it was amazing. Plenty of leg room. Water to drink nothing was any bother.
I love Qatar Airways too. Last time i booked frm Malaysia to Morroco and transit at Doha Airport. Even though i booked only economy class but it’s really comfortable and nice. The food was really good alao. And I really enjoyed my journey with Qatar Airways . I hope i could fly again with Qatar Airways soon 😍
@@tabarekdoyoualradhi8866 I'm not rich. They have affordable prices also you have to book earlier than usual. There is a feeling that I feel more comfortable with Qatarnespecially when taking off and landing, they have delicious foods too that you can customize in they're website as you want. That's my experienced.
Im flying first time on qatar in a few days we are going on our honeymoon so looking forward to qatar airways experience and how they look after us on our special journey.
I'm looking at booking either Emirates or Qatar for a flight from Paris to Kochi and then back from Hyderabad to Paris for visiting friends of mine in India. I found this review very interesting to watch. Although I feel that the deference's between the two are airlines are rather small, I tend to go for Qatar mainly because of this vlog. The fact that Doha Hamad international airport is, apparently, such a nice place to do your layover also helps in the equation. Anyways, Dan thank you for this, and the many other, interesting vlogs you make!
Wow!! We match in every opinion. In terms of food, I prefer Qatar than Etihad. in service, Etihad is the lowest and next is Emirates and Qatar is top of these three. Im working in Middle East for 12 yrs and believe I fly back and forth twice a year. Ive ridden Qatar, Emirates, Etihad. Emirates used to be my number 1. But I agree with you that their service went down straight. They lack of enthusiasm and they seem irritated when asking as simple as water during flight, both in Emirates and Etihad. I even had bad experiences even with ground crew at terminal in Manila from both airlines. They are always rude especially if you are in economy class. I even tried business class and their service are the same. So theres no need for upgrade since both cabin have same lack of service.. I check everything from service to facilities and even on ground crew, surprisingly, Qatar is on top. I dont know if its because they overhaul everything from Airport to their planes and they are still hiring new flight attendants and crew. 7 yrs back Qatar's airplane was already 5 star and their airport was even worst than Abudhabi. They did what they had to do and improved way better than any Middle east airport. Just flew back last Sept 2017 via Emirates from Manila Philippines. Will fly again (God willing) to Kuwait Airways via business class. I know their airport is still under renovation and will operating by 2020 but I heard they have new airlines so i hope to have a new good experience with them. Its been 12 yrs since I last flew with Kuwait airways because I avoid them for their lack of service, food and lounge. But Im going to try them next year.
Thank you! I was torn between Qatar and Emirates for my flight to Kenya. I’ve flown emirates and have to agree their service is sooooooo flaky and those girls look but but are mean spirited. Thanks for making my decision easier. Awesome video.
QATAR is my best. I flew with them 3 times in life already! Hanoi - Warsaw, 16 Oct 2017 Stockholm - Hong Kong 15 June 2018 Hong Kong - Vienna 19 Sep 2018
Agreed. But you should definitely have tried the A380 and the A350 of Qatar. Qatar’s A350’s configuration and seats and cabin are the best I’ve coach seats I’ve tried.
Love your reviews Dan. You've always seemed critical of Etihad? I've flown long haul with them (London to Melbourne) 4 times and find them faultless. I haven't flown Qatar or Emirates yet, but I'll be giving them a go.
Suggestions: Qantas vs Virgin Australia vs Air New Zealand China Eastern vs China Southern vs Air China Ethiopian Airlines vs South African Airways vs Kenya Airways JAL vs ANA vs Singapore Airlines SAS vs Norwegian Air Shuttle vs Finnair Virgin Atlantic vs Air France vs Lufthansa
Justin K South African Airways sucks my TV was broken for a 6 hour flight and the the airhost don't give a damn about anything u r Just wasting your time review that airline and I am a South Africa that enjoys to travel. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS PLZ.
Agreed. I travelled with Qatar Airways from Islamabad to Indonesia and back, though in Business Class but service had been so Magnificent and Personal that I started feeling embarrassed whether I was that Important to them.
I’m neither from the UAE or Qatar, having flown long haul flights with both frequently. Qatar is ahead miles away lol. In terms of service, crew diligence and what not, Qatar dominates. The only thing emirates has over Qatar is probably their first class showers, better IFE, those luxurious first class suites, etc. But that doesn’t concern the fact that Qatar is better.
Great series review Daniel! Well done for putting it together. What a trip! Whilst I certainly agree with you that Qatar Airways are a really good airline and have a excellent Economy class product, as well as fantstic terminal building in Doha, it is worth noting that if you're transferring through Doha airport onto another carrier, as I did on a staff travel ticket (entering Doha on a Qatar Airways flight from Melbourne and departing on British Airways flight to London), you have go through immigration and therefore pay the 'Visa on arrival' fee which was QR100 (£20). If you're doing the same type of journey via Dubai or Abu Dhabi, you don't have to pay any immigration fee to enter the UAE. I found this to be a little frustrating when I connected through Doha and I think that travellers should at least be made aware of this scenario. Of course this wouldn't happen if you were connecting through Doha and travelling on all Qatar Airways flights. Great review!
Matthew Duncan staff tickets are on standby, that's why your bags were not checked in till the last destination. The same is not applicable for full fare tickets, you don't have to go through immigration in Doha.
I'm going to Bangladesh with Qatar airways from Cardiff UK end of july, I'm looking forward to using them for the first time. I used Emirates last time which I thought was good, they paid good attention to my son when we went. But this time I have two kids so I will see how there service is like. Great informative video by the way.
I booked my long flight with Etihad...18+ hours flying and 20 hours layover -_- I kinda wish I saw this before booking. I've been with emirates for a few flights, but I wanted to try a new airline
How was your flight? Did you exit the airport through a transit visa? If you did, did you claim your checked in luggage or simply left them at the airport so that they get checked through?
I've flown with Emirates around 15 times from London to Dubai and it's made me fall in love with flying. I have flown with British Airways, Ryanair and Virgin and they've all been quite average/poor, but every Emirates flight is always perfect. Still need to fly Qatar to see what the hype is about.
Mahalo for your review! I am in the process of booking a flight from Singapore to Barcelona. Your review helped me decide between Qatar and Emirates. Booking my flight with Qatar Airways.
Wow! Thank you soooo much for your detailed review of these 3 airlines' economy offerings. I have never flown with Qatar preferring Emirates but I will certain consider Qatar for our next trip from Australia to Europe.
For me I flew and Emirates, and Qatar Airways. They are quite the same, for me. The biggest minus to Qatar: NO FREE SHOWERS IN DOHA and expensive airport hotel! But the security check was rapid and not that rude, as usually it is in Dubai. The crew is more organised in Qatar. And what made me happy of Qatar, is that they do not have that chaotic collection of used blankets and earphones, as they do at Emirates.
So I have flown all three in economy and have also flown them in the A380s, 777s, 787s, and A320s. Seat best = Etihad A380 Worst = Qatar 777, Etihad A320 Airport best = Doha Worst = Abu Dhabi Food best = Qatar Worst = Etihad Airport security staff best= Dubai Worst = Qatar, very rude. Airport General staff best =Qatar Worst= etihad Airhostess overall best = Qatar Worst = etihad If Qatar would utilize more A380s on the North American route it would be by far my favorite. However, because of pre immigration in Abu Dhabi I tend to fly Etihad. Also not having TSA precheck on Qatar is also disadvantage for me. Emirates offers more A380 flights to the USA so I do enjoy their service alot as well. Anyways for me, the overall experience considering everything would be Emirates. But if Qatar had more A380s then it would go to Qatar. The 777 is just not comfortable on long haul flights.
My die heart airlines.. i so much love Qatar airways that i pray everyday that i be a flight attendant with Qatar Airways for their incredible services. God be my helper. So Many people have credited Qatar Airways so much so dat i shed tears and i ask myself that when when?.. Good video and perfect Analysis. Will be expecting much from you. Thank you
No doubt.,Qatar airways and Hamad intl Airport both are best.,,i travel with qatar airways all the time service is much better than other carriers and hamad airport is a way better facility specially if you have long haul connecting flight.,,big thumbs up 👍🏻
Btw, I don't eat on etihad anymore. Their food gives me indigestion. Evrn special vegetarian meals. So I have to bring my own food whenever I fly with them. The food on qatar is the best of the tree to me. And evrn though etihad has Wi-Fi, it's useless. You can connect, but that's pretty much it. Nothing opens. Emirates is only slightly better. IFE is very bad on Etihad selection wise. But technologically, all three have good ife: large bright and responsive screens, no lag.
ETIHAD is the best in fucking service. A flight Attendant stayed up for fucking 16 hours, with no sleep, he just stayed up to make sure we were doing alright, plus their was a couple arguing in the plane, and the crew threatened them to shut their mouths or they were going to be thrown off the plane, Qatar Airways is complete dogshit, they were rude to us..
I've never traveled on Qatar but I have flown multiple times on Emirates and I loved it. The one time in my life I went on Etihad was the worst 24 hours of my life (I was going to Pakistan). After seeing this video I think I might also look for flights on Qatar since their tickets are also cheaper at the moment.
Great job on this Dan. Enjoyed watching and readily agreed with everything you reviewed. I know airline prices seem cyclical to some destinations QA is a bit higher priced but worth it. I do love Doha and the airport. QA & EA business class are really similar but fantastic. Great advice also on the FF programs
In Dubai, almost all the bathrooms were closed “for cleaning” and it told us to use the other bathroom, but it was closed. Also, there was barely food. Just a McDonald’s in the whole terminal to get food in T3
Great video I had been travelling on Etihad until last year I was a gold member and traveled economy part of the time And upgraded on very long flights Over the years I have seen the standard of service decline ie Service ( the crew use to be so professional even in economy) food ( started to eat before a flight if in economy inedible sometimes) lounges ( you see the cutbacks happening not just in Abu Dhabi but there lounges world wide) even the loyalty points changed for the worst I know it’s a business and profit is key but they don’t seem to care about the customer anymore
qatar the best any day of the week plus i flied with them and everything was 10/10 apart from the ground staff 9/10, it will take a mountain to climb for emirates or etihad to catch up but emirates and etihad world class airlines as well
I've recently flown Manchester to Perth on Qatar. The service, hub airport, meals and seats are superior compared to Emirates in my view. If you think the seats are good on the 777-300, you should also try the Qatar A380-800 - which feel a bit wider and more comfortable. I will definitely be flying Qatar for any future trips between Australia and the UK.
i haven't tried Etihad yet, but so far Qatar and Emirates are almost same to me. i have to agree with u that Doha airport is much much much better than Dubai. the thing i found better in Qatar on board service was serving special meals(i ordered non-lactose meal) together with regular one. in Emirates i got my special meal about 30minutes before everybody else and had to wait till they finish their meal so that my food tray was taken away. free wifi was available only on short flights WAW-Doha/Dubai-WAW while on long one to and from Incheon,South Korea there was no wifi even the one to be paid. i can't sleep while i'm traveling so i didn't care much about seats quality. entertaining system was great during both flights. cabin crew was really nice. after all i think i will definitely choose both in the future. P.S. i would love to watch your review of Polish airline in the future;)
As a frequent traveller to/from middle east and having used ALL three of the airlines on this video, I would agree with the 'Nonstop Dan'.. Etihad has certainly been my worst experience . Because I have been upgraded to a higher loyalty programme with Emirates , I will be using them for my next flight.. I also agreed about the Emirates B777 and its interior that need revamping with a different seat manufacturer etc - to give that 'spacious' ambiance that both the Qatar and Emirates A380 gives.
My husband flew from Auckland to Doha and then Zurich by Qatar 🇶🇦. He loved it and preferred over Emirates. He had a not very good experience with Emirates. One of their flight attendants offered to help & serve food, but his work colleague said no. That was just slow things down and passengers had to suffer and waited longer. What a racist on the plane!
I have flown Emirates and Etihad from JFK to their hubs, and onward, I can't agree with you more about those two airlines. Getting ready to fly Qatar from NYC to Laos via Doha/ Bangkok /Luang Prabang, so I am very pleased to learn it should be a nice layover in Doha, just wish Bangkok airport and airline was better, at least its a short last leap.
The information was greatly needed. I will be flying Emirates for the first time out of JFK airport to South Africa to visit a friend as a highly recommended airline. I would like for you to compare American, JetBlue ,Delta and United Airlines! Once again thanks for the info and keep up the good work!👍😎
Hi Dan, I need your advice. Am I better off ordering airline tickets before or after the New Year? I am looking at Phuket around Easter time. Also, whose business class would you recommend more: Emirates or Qatar? I have heard great things about both. Thanks in advance for your advice. The videos are great. God bless, best wishes, and health and happiness for your New Year.
Qatar airways and HIA “Hamad International Airport” in Doha, Qatar are the best in the world. And thats not just my opinion. And you can access the wifi now on A380, A350 B 777, 787 etc
Nice comparison, and probably fairly accurate (although I have not flown on Etihad or Emirates myself). I've been flying Qatar every year since 2009, and am platinum member this year. I would say that if you flew them in 2009, you would have been even more amazed, their food was incredible in 2009 and 2010, and the seats were huge. Food really went down hill and hit rock bottom around 2013 (read: inedible), but has gradually been improving again since. Qatar has always had excellent staff, with many going the extra mile by bringing me extra food, wine refills without asking or making me a custom cocktail... yes, in economy class. The main downside with Qatar now is the seats on 777/787 are really cramped in terms of width, like other airlines. Their a330/a340/a350/A380 are all comfortable though. Oryx entertainment is very good, and screens are excellent on a380/a350, almost like an iPad. The other downside recently with Qatar is that you earn less miles and tier points than before with most economy tickets, making it hard to get any status or useable number of miles for most travellers. Overall, still one of the best airlines for flying economy class to Asia and beyond!
Dang! I'm flying Etihad next year from the UK to Doha. I'll take your view into consideration though I want to experience Etihad for myself before coming to a complete conclusion. The only airline I have experience with is Delta as I don't fly that much. The last time I did was earlier this year in February- before that it was 11 years ago! I was 7 years old back then and don't remember the flight that much!
Adrien Logel As for quality air travel, I would think that Germany is tops on my list and closely followed by England and France. Germany has both models of the 747 as well as the A380 and both models of the A340. So when it comes to air travel on my favorite airplane, Germany rocks!
Booked Qatar from Marrakech to Auckland returning to amsterdam both with a layover in Doha.
On booking i was shocked to recieve a phonecall from the Moroccan Qatar Airway office to thank me for booking with them and to state that I will have a complementry room & food vouchers at Hamad International and the choice of a bus tour of Doha on my 23 hour layover in Doha!!
All that for economy class!! Amazing!
That sounds amazing, especially for an economy seat!
Anthony Clark incredible
Doha- Auckland route is the longest so far taking more than 16hrs one way it must have been tiresome since you had flown from Morocco
If your room voucher was for the transit hotel, it is particularly good value because the price for 1 night is 850 QAR or 190 Euro, US$226
I don’t get that even though I’ve travelled several times with them in first and business long haul flights.
The points guy uk: we need 3 people to make this video. Nonstop Dan: fine I’ll do it myself
lol
I’ve flown Qatar and Emirates and I can also say Qatar airways is better, though I love Emirates too but Doha airport is a beauty to behold!
I agree. Hamad international airport is such a beauty. It's my favourite airport.
@@pakistaniboi6391 it's my favourite airport to. It's quite amazing isn't it?
Yes is the best! !!!
Me too
Dubai is overrated and Etihad likes to take their customer’s money and leave. Qatar airways is just right.
Qatar airways is my favourite airline I’ve ever flown with. The staff were extremely kind, the seats are comfy (I always fly economy), the meals are good and the entertainment system is great.
I agree, Qatar is the best airline for me because of their service. 😀
I think Emirates is better 😂

Me too
Excellent. Me too I think
Etihad is better coz I live in Abu Dhabi 🤣🤣🤣

I flied in economy on Emirates 380 Aircraft and guess what.. I LITERALLY HAD FOUR SEATS TO MYSELF! It felt amazing four seats to myself!
Qatar airways is the best ... Good experience from marrakech morocco to doha and from doha to malaysia : good food, services, everything 😍😍😍
rachid loussadi you have to pay for food or does it come with flight price?
Dinna F It comes with the flight price

You should probably do...
United/Delta/American
British Air/KLM/Lufthansa
Cathay/Singapore/Thai
Latam/Avianca/Copa
Iberia/Tap/Alitalia
Travel Teen change KLM to air France
Well all of them are nice but united? Don't think so

I agree, Qatar's A350 is amazing and very quiet, although I preferred their A380 which was just silent, roomy and smooth.
I also agree
Qatar A380 is very limited though I've been on both qatar and emirates both are fine

Qantas vs Virgin Australia vs Air New Zealand
China Eastern vs China Southern vs Air China
Ethiopian Airlines vs South African Airways vs Kenya Airways
JAL vs ANA vs Singapore Airlines
SAS vs Norwegian Air Shuttle vs Finnair
Virgin Atlantic vs Air France vs Lufthansa
Justin K South African Airways sucks my TV was broken for a 6 hour flight and the the airhost don't give a damn about anything u r Just wasting your time review that airline and I am a South Africa that enjoys to travel. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS PLZ.
Justin K
The second one leaderboard
1air China
2china eastern
3china southern
JAL and ANA vs. a SEA airline? No, they would compete against Asiana.

Agreed. I travelled with Qatar Airways from Islamabad to Indonesia and back, though in Business Class but service had been so Magnificent and Personal that I started feeling embarrassed whether I was that Important to them.
Thanks for posting, Dan. Information was very helpful! Congrats on 14000+ likes!!
You have convinced me to fly with Qatar 🇶🇦 airways. I’m going Africa next year from Auckland (NZ)
Always had the best of experiences flying Qatar, love everything about this airline. This review was most interesting Thank you. Norma
I’m neither from the UAE or Qatar, having flown long haul flights with both frequently. Qatar is ahead miles away lol. In terms of service, crew diligence and what not, Qatar dominates. The only thing emirates has over Qatar is probably their first class showers, better IFE, those luxurious first class suites, etc. But that doesn’t concern the fact that Qatar is better.
agree Adil
I’m always flew with qatar airways... this is the best airline that I found.. thank you qatar airways!!
Cathay Pacific and Singapore comparisons would be great too. Thank you! Good stuff and very helpful!
Great series review Daniel! Well done for putting it together. What a trip! Whilst I certainly agree with you that Qatar Airways are a really good airline and have a excellent Economy class product, as well as fantstic terminal building in Doha, it is worth noting that if you're transferring through Doha airport onto another carrier, as I did on a staff travel ticket (entering Doha on a Qatar Airways flight from Melbourne and departing on British Airways flight to London), you have go through immigration and therefore pay the 'Visa on arrival' fee which was QR100 (£20). If you're doing the same type of journey via Dubai or Abu Dhabi, you don't have to pay any immigration fee to enter the UAE. I found this to be a little frustrating when I connected through Doha and I think that travellers should at least be made aware of this scenario. Of course this wouldn't happen if you were connecting through Doha and travelling on all Qatar Airways flights.
Great review!
Matthew Duncan staff tickets are on standby, that's why your bags were not checked in till the last destination. The same is not applicable for full fare tickets, you don't have to go through immigration in Doha.
I'm going to Bangladesh with Qatar airways from Cardiff UK end of july, I'm looking forward to using them for the first time. I used Emirates last time which I thought was good, they paid good attention to my son when we went. But this time I have two kids so I will see how there service is like. Great informative video by the way.
I flew from Warsaw to Bangalore (India) many times and with different lines. The best is Qatar. Doha airport is more friendly than Dubai.
I booked my long flight with Etihad...18+ hours flying and 20 hours layover -_- I kinda wish I saw this before booking. I've been with emirates for a few flights, but I wanted to try a new airline
How was your flight? Did you exit the airport through a transit visa? If you did, did you claim your checked in luggage or simply left them at the airport so that they get checked through?
Already booked Qatar 6 months ago for Sydney->Paris and return, couldn't be happier knowing that the experience will be great! Thanks
Will Taylor I hope your experience was upto standard
I've flown with Emirates around 15 times from London to Dubai and it's made me fall in love with flying. I have flown with British Airways, Ryanair and Virgin and they've all been quite average/poor, but every Emirates flight is always perfect. Still need to fly Qatar to see what the hype is about.
I so love qatar airways, especially when the pandemic begun, they were able to level up their technology for a safe flight, kudos 👊🏻
Mahalo for your review! I am in the process of booking a flight from Singapore to Barcelona. Your review helped me decide between Qatar and Emirates. Booking my flight with Qatar Airways.
Wow! Thank you soooo much for your detailed review of these 3 airlines' economy offerings. I have never flown with Qatar preferring Emirates but I will certain consider Qatar for our next trip from Australia to Europe.
For me I flew and Emirates, and Qatar Airways. They are quite the same, for me. The biggest minus to Qatar: NO FREE SHOWERS IN DOHA and expensive airport hotel! But the security check was rapid and not that rude, as usually it is in Dubai. The crew is more organised in Qatar. And what made me happy of Qatar, is that they do not have that chaotic collection of used blankets and earphones, as they do at Emirates.
So I have flown all three in economy and have also flown them in the A380s, 777s, 787s, and A320s.
Seat best = Etihad A380
Worst = Qatar 777, Etihad A320
Airport best = Doha
Worst = Abu Dhabi
Food best = Qatar
Worst = Etihad
Airport security staff best= Dubai
Worst = Qatar, very rude.
Airport General staff best =Qatar
Worst= etihad
Airhostess overall best = Qatar
Worst = etihad
If Qatar would utilize more A380s on the North American route it would be by far my favorite. However, because of pre immigration in Abu Dhabi I tend to fly Etihad. Also not having TSA precheck on Qatar is also disadvantage for me.
Emirates offers more A380 flights to the USA so I do enjoy their service alot as well. Anyways for me, the overall experience considering everything would be Emirates. But if Qatar had more A380s then it would go to Qatar. The 777 is just not comfortable on long haul flights.
I saw another reviews and to be honest you are the best and you said your opinion very honest
For me the Qatar airways is the best
This has made a massive difference to my travel plans.. Thank you so much.
Qatar is best in all classes,im traveling more then 100 trip from hongkong ,dubai,Tanzania but all services is excellent.
omg your delivery was well executed and informative. thanks much you've gained a new subscriber
My die heart airlines.. i so much love Qatar airways that i pray everyday that i be a flight attendant with Qatar Airways for their incredible services. God be my helper. So Many people have credited Qatar Airways so much so dat i shed tears and i ask myself that when when?..
Good video and perfect Analysis. Will be expecting much from you.
Thank you
What a great effort from you mate, you got hectic of traveling back to back just to bring us the comparison thanks and much respect
No doubt.,Qatar airways and Hamad intl Airport both are best.,,i travel with qatar airways all the time service is much better than other carriers and hamad airport is a way better facility specially if you have long haul connecting flight.,,big thumbs up 👍🏻
I’m flying Qatar on Saturday so this is excellent news!
Btw, I don't eat on etihad anymore. Their food gives me indigestion. Evrn special vegetarian meals. So I have to bring my own food whenever I fly with them. The food on qatar is the best of the tree to me.
And evrn though etihad has Wi-Fi, it's useless. You can connect, but that's pretty much it. Nothing opens. Emirates is only slightly better.
IFE is very bad on Etihad selection wise. But technologically, all three have good ife: large bright and responsive screens, no lag.
ETIHAD is the best in fucking service. A flight Attendant stayed up for fucking 16 hours, with no sleep, he just stayed up to make sure we were doing alright, plus their was a couple arguing in the plane, and the crew threatened them to shut their mouths or they were going to be thrown off the plane, Qatar Airways is complete dogshit, they were rude to us..
Acclivity Gaming c

Love the comparison format!
I Always love the Qatar Crew Main Uniforn , its Maroon , soft and warm .
They treat us the best service , love it and love it again .
I've never traveled on Qatar but I have flown multiple times on Emirates and I loved it. The one time in my life I went on Etihad was the worst 24 hours of my life (I was going to Pakistan). After seeing this video I think I might also look for flights on Qatar since their tickets are also cheaper at the moment.
Thanks for the info. Flying Qatar from erbil to bkk next month January 2019.
Excellent video! Extremely professional! Thanks so much, great information!
WTF you spent five days in economy classes?! How did you survive that?😂
Ya omg
We all have lmao..
Bruh it's not bad I fly Emirates alto and I mostly fly Eco and 4 flights in business and the Eco seat is Soo comfortable so it's not bad
@@gta5employyee991 damn bro how much do u make 💸💸
Great job on this Dan. Enjoyed watching and readily agreed with everything you reviewed. I know airline prices seem cyclical to some destinations QA is a bit higher priced but worth it. I do love Doha and the airport. QA & EA business class are really similar but fantastic. Great advice also on the FF programs
Qatar Airways😊:Going places together ❤
In Dubai, almost all the bathrooms were closed “for cleaning” and it told us to use the other bathroom, but it was closed. Also, there was barely food. Just a McDonald’s in the whole terminal to get food in T3
I look forward to the budget week with ryanair, easyjet and mayby norwegian.
Great video
I had been travelling on Etihad until last year
I was a gold member and traveled economy part of the time
And upgraded on very long flights
Over the years I have seen the standard of service decline ie
Service ( the crew use to be so professional even in economy)
food ( started to eat before a flight if in economy inedible sometimes)
lounges ( you see the cutbacks happening not just in Abu Dhabi but there lounges world wide)
even the loyalty points changed for the worst
I know it’s a business and profit is key
but they don’t seem to care about the customer anymore
qatar the best any day of the week plus i flied with them and everything was 10/10 apart from the ground staff 9/10, it will take a mountain to climb for emirates or etihad to catch up but emirates and etihad world class airlines as well
I've recently flown Manchester to Perth on Qatar. The service, hub airport, meals and seats are superior compared to Emirates in my view. If you think the seats are good on the 777-300, you should also try the Qatar A380-800 - which feel a bit wider and more comfortable. I will definitely be flying Qatar for any future trips between Australia and the UK.
Travelling with Qatar next week, loved the review up until you said there was no wifi😭
They have wifi now haha. They partnered with ooreedo to provide complimentary wifi and paid wifi.
You wont be bored because the inflight entertainment is pretty diverse
Good job !! This is a great advice video. Happy to see this. Thanks a lot 👍
Love this video...I'm going on my honeymoon and was unsure who to fly with...now I know!! Thank you 😊
I am so glad I found this. We are flying Qatar for the first part this summer and now I am so excited!
Same here,, I was a little nervous booking Qatar and Doha (5hr stopover) to Europe from Australia, now I'm very happy
Great airline 👍
Didn't like qatar food!
I've never traveled in any of these companies.
But through the videos I saw on UA-cam.
I think Qatar has the best economy class.
I think Qatar Airways economy seat design in long haul is looks more cramped and claustrophobic because it’s rectangle design
You made my decision making easier. I will be flying long haul and wasn’t sure whether to book Qatar or Emirates. Thank you for the video
i haven't tried Etihad yet, but so far Qatar and Emirates are almost same to me. i have to agree with u that Doha airport is much much much better than Dubai. the thing i found better in Qatar on board service was serving special meals(i ordered non-lactose meal) together with regular one. in Emirates i got my special meal about 30minutes before everybody else and had to wait till they finish their meal so that my food tray was taken away. free wifi was available only on short flights WAW-Doha/Dubai-WAW while on long one to and from Incheon,South Korea there was no wifi even the one to be paid. i can't sleep while i'm traveling so i didn't care much about seats quality. entertaining system was great during both flights. cabin crew was really nice. after all i think i will definitely choose both in the future.
P.S. i would love to watch your review of Polish airline in the future;)
Am regularly flying with Emirates Airlines.
But i like Etihad Airlines.
Flawless, as always!
Very good video! I would vote for Qatar as well! Emirates was the best flight experience but it’s mostly thanks to a380.
QR or Etihad for me. I am quite picky with entertainment system so I don’t like ice.
I like all of them my FAV are Qatar and Emirates AWESOME
As a frequent traveller to/from middle east and having used ALL three of the airlines on this video, I would agree with the 'Nonstop Dan'.. Etihad has certainly been my worst experience . Because I have been upgraded to a higher loyalty programme with Emirates , I will be using them for my next flight.. I also agreed about the Emirates B777 and its interior that need revamping with a different seat manufacturer etc - to give that 'spacious' ambiance that both the Qatar and Emirates A380 gives.
My husband flew from Auckland to Doha and then Zurich by Qatar 🇶🇦. He loved it and preferred over Emirates. He had a not very good experience with Emirates. One of their flight attendants offered to help & serve food, but his work colleague said no. That was just slow things down and passengers had to suffer and waited longer. What a racist on the plane!
I have flown Emirates and Etihad from JFK to their hubs, and onward, I can't agree with you more about those two airlines. Getting ready to fly Qatar from NYC to Laos via Doha/ Bangkok /Luang Prabang, so I am very pleased to learn it should be a nice layover in Doha, just wish Bangkok airport and airline was better, at least its a short last leap.
The information was greatly needed. I will be flying Emirates for the first time out of JFK airport to South Africa to visit a friend as a highly recommended airline. I would like for you to compare American, JetBlue ,Delta and United Airlines! Once again thanks for the info and keep up the good work!👍😎

Well done. Being from australia and now travelling a lot more, so long haul flights are almost the norm, it helps when planning long trips.
Cheers
im in loveeeeeee with the EMIRATES airline !!!
For me definitely EMIRATES
Pepole attation my dad is flying to qatar tomorow not me im gong holidays 1st april 2020
Hi Dan, I need your advice. Am I better off ordering airline tickets before or after the New Year? I am looking at Phuket around Easter time. Also, whose business class would you recommend more: Emirates or Qatar? I have heard great things about both. Thanks in advance for your advice. The videos are great. God bless, best wishes, and health and happiness for your New Year.
Qatar airways and HIA “Hamad International Airport” in Doha, Qatar are the best in the world. And thats not just my opinion. And you can access the wifi now on A380, A350 B 777, 787 etc
RASHED ALEMADI wifi isnt free tho
Changi is better
Nice comparison, and probably fairly accurate (although I have not flown on Etihad or Emirates myself). I've been flying Qatar every year since 2009, and am platinum member this year. I would say that if you flew them in 2009, you would have been even more amazed, their food was incredible in 2009 and 2010, and the seats were huge. Food really went down hill and hit rock bottom around 2013 (read: inedible), but has gradually been improving again since. Qatar has always had excellent staff, with many going the extra mile by bringing me extra food, wine refills without asking or making me a custom cocktail... yes, in economy class. The main downside with Qatar now is the seats on 777/787 are really cramped in terms of width, like other airlines. Their a330/a340/a350/A380 are all comfortable though. Oryx entertainment is very good, and screens are excellent on a380/a350, almost like an iPad. The other downside recently with Qatar is that you earn less miles and tier points than before with most economy tickets, making it hard to get any status or useable number of miles for most travellers. Overall, still one of the best airlines for flying economy class to Asia and beyond!
I love Emirates
I have always fly in Emirates
Dang! I'm flying Etihad next year from the UK to Doha. I'll take your view into consideration though I want to experience Etihad for myself before coming to a complete conclusion. The only airline I have experience with is Delta as I don't fly that much. The last time I did was earlier this year in February- before that it was 11 years ago! I was 7 years old back then and don't remember the flight that much!
Such a nice concept ! Maybe who could do a Air France/British/Lufthansa ?
Thanks! I'll definitely try do compare them and even include KLM if possible :D
Can't wait for it ! 😉

Adrien Logel As for quality air travel, I would think that Germany is tops on my list and closely followed by England and France. Germany has both models of the 747 as well as the A380 and both models of the A340. So when it comes to air travel on my favorite airplane, Germany rocks!
Nonstop Dan Just wondering - how about Saudi Arabia and Kuwait?
Thank you very much for this! I'm about to fly Qatar to Heathrow from Sydney. Very good info.
