Great report. Used to live in Lagos back in the 80s, so it’s always fun to see the airport showcased in some way in trip reports. And I have to say, looks exactly the same as it did in the late 80s, minus the newer domestic terminal and construction ‘snafu’ of the new international section. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video ! You make us really feel like we are there . I'm working my way through all your videos . Hope Lagos worked out . Looking forward to the next video
Absolute fab flight review there Patrick,that Doha International Airport is like....huge.,a city within it's self one could get lost in there.The flight its self was awesome Qatar is a top shelf airline✈also i enjoyed the background music you chose in this video👍
Really nice video! believe it or not, but You were the only one to briefly give all the important points and useful, practical hints about the Al Mourjan lounge (from the lockers, to the rest areas, to the different ways to oder in the restaurants upstairs), really nice work!!! 👍
Gorgeous vlog of your trip to my home town. I thought it was the other Lagos in Portugal. You did Nigeria proud with the visuals because I now want to experience flight back to England through Doha now 😊
Patrick, another great video. Do airlines have an issue with filming the lavatory prior to take off? I recall horror stories of planes stuck on the tarmac for hours without letting anyone use the toilet. I think you mis-spoke at 25:50, the mixed grill was lamb not pork. Not exactly halal. It's nice they had fruit available as snacks, but what do you do with the banana peels or peach pits before they start to smell? I like when airlines have granola bars.
I haven’t had issues recording in the cabins of aircraft. The crew usually just asks to try and avoid filming other passengers faces when possible. As for the fruit peels, the crew was attentive enough that I’m sure they would have collected it within a few minutes of you setting it down
OW status alone will not get you into Al Mourjan you’ll be directed off to the business lounge, also worth noting is that anyone traveling on a business lite fare won’t have access.
Great review - and you’re right they have TOO many versions of their business class - I have aircraft swaps over 80% of my trips from qsuites to 777 2x2x2 not happy but the soft product remains standard thankfully but they need to improve this ASAP - we had nots of unhappy pax and some having paid over $800 to reserve qsuite seat allocations !!!
I do find their fee to reserve a seat to be kind of ridiculous considering how expensive it already is to reserve. Hopefully over time they can streamline the different business class products they offer
25:57 did you say pork? Correct me if i'm wrong but all of Qatar's meals are halal, so that would exclude pork, and most kebabs are made with lamb and beef, if not just lamb or beef. Anyone else have an idea? I googled it and every source said it's halal meals only.
@@PatrickSheaAviation IMHO No 2 goes to Qatar but Emirates is the best in the sky --- and No 2 doesnt come even a lightyear close. It's like getting a basic IFE or not getting one at all.
One other thing. Did I correctly hear you saying that your main meal consisted of "pork and veggies"... I don't believe Qatar serves Pork in any cabin ...
I noticed this international flights to Lagos are now using the domestic runway for takeoff and landing. Probably the international runway is under maintenance.
@@PatrickSheaAviation yea because previously the international runway was as well used for takeoffs and landings for both international and domestic flights while the domestic runway was under maintenance.
@@PatrickSheaAviation you will always Find out the Variant 787- 8 Version, always enroute to Lagos on Flight radar 24, but I never noticed a 787-9 Version.
Great review...it's a shame that Qatar has so many different seating options for the business class and changing planes at the last minute is low class.
So far there's been nothing much said about those business class cabin design on the 787s, it is said that this is the more "Optimized" version of the Q-Suite for 787 because the airframe of the 787 is too narrow to house the Q-Suite. 25:51 Also, you said that you had grilled pork on your flight. As far as I know, Qatar Airways doesn't serve pork (Almost all middle-eastern carriers don't) due to religious purposes. So, I think you made a mistake.
Because of your very informative narration, I am able to watch all the action without having to read those stupid captions. Was nice to see people's faces again, too, without the idiotic face diapers. Really nice trip with you. Thanks for the post.
@@PatrickSheaAviation they build a new terminal and forgot that planes are big lol and they can fit many aircraft at once at the new terminal cos of wing span they are just a joke from the tarmac to the terminal are all a joke there was a time even the ac wasnt working for a long time and can u imagine that
Well maybe one day you’ll be able to try it out! Travel is the one constant in our world that will be around in some capacity forever, and always evolving too!

Wonderful! I hope you get the chance to fly Qatar soon! I’d love to get back to Nigeria
Well done Patrick. You called it as you saw it.!
Thanks!
Really been enjoying your videos!!

1:30…..that continues vidscreen is the best idea ever!
Again very good video! Totally true about QR aircraft swab.
Nice video…thanks 🌷

Their signature lime mint drink is fantastic I always go for it.
Totally!
Qatari the best airline 2024.
The best colour.
The best business class 🎉🎉🎉💜
They CAN have the best business class… but who knows what this mess is
@@PatrickSheaAviation hehe 👏👏

I Has Not Experience The New Business Class On Qatar Airways B787-9,The Cabin Looks Nice.Great Trip Report
Thank you!
1. Really good review.
Great video
Thanks man!
Chucks are always a great shoe and yours look well traveled....
They’ve seen all parts of the world. Almost time for some new ones for sure! 😂

You are correct, I was corrected shortly after the video went up on that
What carry on are you using? I saw it briefly when you put it in the locker and am interested
I just have a smaller Samsonite brand carry on that I use for shorter trips. I can fit about 5-7 days of clothes in it depending on how smartly I pack
Me at 22:17 - Tell me you've never flown Emirates without telling me you've never flown Emirates
Just because emirates has a great IFE doesn’t mean Qatar can’t also 🤷♂️

QR using remote gates is a real mystery, inspite of so many aerobridges at Hamad
Probably facilitates the equipment swaps they are notorious for.
@@johniii8147 thanks
That’s a good theory. I am not sure why they have put me at hard stands so frequently there
If there's a qsuite lite, this must be it!
Ha basically!
I noticed this international flights to Lagos are now using the domestic runway for takeoff and landing. Probably the international runway is under maintenance.
I do recall hearing about airport maintenance so you may be correct with that
@@PatrickSheaAviation yea because previously the international runway was as well used for takeoffs and landings for both international and domestic flights while the domestic runway was under maintenance.
Would u do American airlines Doha to new york jfk route?
Because they are a Oneworld member and have extensive codeshares now with QR. Mostly using the connection for access to India.
I might get around to that. I am planning to fly that aircraft by American but JFK to Delhi rather than Doha later this year
Qatar Airways ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your window comment made me laugh.
Qatar Airways Regularly operates 787s to Lagos
Correct, however it has historically been the 787-8s. It wasn’t until just before this flight they started mixing in the 787-9a
@@PatrickSheaAviation you will always Find out the Variant 787- 8 Version, always enroute to Lagos on Flight radar 24, but I never noticed a 787-9 Version.

It can end up being real good or real bad. At least the soft product is consistent across the different products
Great video P.S but it's L(Lah) gos not Legos like the things we played with as kids. Sorry to be that dude 💪🏿🇺🇸✌️
Good video, thanks. But it's Qatar, as in Cuttar, Not QaTAR. Cheers.
15:32 Damn .. you really need some new shoes!
Lol yea… these shoes are what we like to call “well travelled”
Why wouldn't you think you would not get good food in Lagos. Seasoning frighten you.
Are you sure that was pork? I'm surprised they would have pork on their menu.
Not pork. I was corrected after looking back at the menu
25:50 absolutely not, Qatar doesnt serve Pork onboard, whether normally or special meals,..all food onboard Qatar are Halal.
15:32 Seriously? How dirty those sneakers are?
Ha! These shoes have been well-traveled!
@@PatrickSheaAviationthat does not mean they cannot be cleaned...
So far there's been nothing much said about those business class cabin design on the 787s, it is said that this is the more "Optimized" version of the Q-Suite for 787 because the airframe of the 787 is too narrow to house the Q-Suite.

True
I did have a few people mention that, I believed it to be pork, but I looked back at the menu to find it was lamb and chicken cooked similarly
@@PatrickSheaAviation Nevertheless, very nice video. I hope you can keep us entertained the same way with your videos.
They served pork on a Middle Eastern Airline? Very surprising.
Nah it wasn’t pork… I learned after posting looking back at the menu
Because of your very informative narration, I am able to watch all the action without having to read those stupid captions. Was nice to see people's faces again, too, without the idiotic face diapers. Really nice trip with you. Thanks for the post.
QATAR is known to give SkyTrak perks for the high ratings. That airport is beautiful, but the departure process for passengers SUCK!
I do dislike the amount of times I’ve had to board/deplane from bus gates. Their flight product is deserving of its awards at least in my opinion
I prefer your other awesome videos. This one seems to drag on, way too much!!
the nigerian airport is very depressing
and disappointing
Well maybe the renovations will help 🤷♂️ but yes it’s in tough shape at the moment
@@PatrickSheaAviation they build a new terminal and forgot that planes are big lol and they can fit many aircraft at once at the new terminal cos of wing span they are just a joke from the tarmac to the terminal are all a joke there was a time even the ac wasnt working for a long time and can u imagine that

They built a new terminal without putting wide-body aircraft in the plan, International airport o... how stup!d 😂😂😂.
QR is a way overrated airline. I hate the attitude of staff. In flight crew is tolerable.
That’s unfortunate! I’ve had some of my best travel experiences with Qatar and their crews
