I dont mind the biz class in their new A350..
i also dream only
I’ve flown QA many times and I think Emirates is the best
SQ is way better
Not really. Would say on par
Cathy Lim and Jayden Koay good read.
Sounds like fun 🙂 thanks for sharing
Thanks, Kelly. I had travelled with QA quite a few times. Hope their Biz class is what they claim for the award.
How much fare to Geneva with bissnes class?kl GeV kl…
Not good. When the tix coz so much n they made me walked end to end terminal , talk a bus and climb the stairs to my “biz class” seat. I dont feel the worth.
Yes very good services I flew twice .
I concur. Had the previlage to fly business class with Qatar. Enough said. Try it yourself.
The article should focus on what so special abt QA compared to others/industry?
Agree with Dave Ryan Aguirre Buaron. The points are pretty much standard for any decent business class flight. Nothing particularly stands out or differentiates Qatar Airways from the rest, based on this article.
Azi
Emirates is better
And one reason not to, I can’t afford it!
It’s really good
I agree. Qatar is the best I’ve been in
I think you’ve described what standard business class is/ should be. Not sure it’s a very compelling article to make someone fly with Qatar……that said i have flown long haul a few times with Qatar and they are very good. Better than what your article gives credit for. The stand out for me was the in-cabin service, was fantastic. The seats are average though and are not all lie-flat.
I can only dream 😉
I hear Qatar is a good arline but this is hardly a compelling argument for any businessman or consumer looking to change airline or upgrade to a business class ticket. I think you’ll have to work harder than comfy seats, USB port, inflight entertainment and a reference to a service (wifi) that is probably expensive and unreliable. This smacks of a PR tactic with little strategic thought. Just saying
separate terminal
Not anymore, the new airport is open now – all in one
Nik Abdul Malik shouldnt we try this
Rosie Hand Business Class baby
