  • Join me as I make my way from Perth to Marseille ahead of the 2022 French GP at the Circuit Paul Ricard. On this journey I'll showcase the Qatar Airways Q suite and Qatar first class. Plus, from Doha to Paris I got the opportunity to showcase the Qatar airways mile high club lounge - a glorious lounge onboard their Airbus A3380 aircraft.

      We have zero tolerance for ‘shenanigans’, Still traumatized from 9/11, if you so much as argue with the stewards or get into an altercation with anyone, we have plain-clothes secret Air Police (with fully loaded weapons) that will knock your head onto the ground. I say this with specificity since I was a witness to this back in 2018…it was quite dramatic. The guy they threw down needed throwing down though, I can assure you.

    I feel for the woman that was coughing. I had esophagus problems and coughed incessantly for a decade until it got bad enough to finally figure out the problem. My esophagus closed up going into my stomach. Earlier this year I had surgery to cut the muscle radially so food would get into my stomach. I was coughing so much I gave myself a hernia on top of it all. Now I don't cough any more.
