The crew of the Qatar airways are such lovely friendly people, When my son was almost 3 years old he was tired and it was way past his bedtime, he cried alot and it took a while for him to settle down, they were so helpful and compassionate. They could see how flustered/emotional/teary I was .. they tried their best to help me calm him down, when he finally went to sleep they checked on me again to see how I was doing. It was a long 12 hour flight, and they spoiled him with heaps of treats and snacks, they would play with him and were so happy to see his true cute self after he rested. I thanked them so many times and made sure they know how much it meant to me to have their support.
@Damian Patriot cheers mate. thank god kids grow up. But for real people hate it when the parents are not even trying to calm down their kids. God knows I was doing my best and on the verge of breaking down in tears. Eh... it's in the past now but what I still remember was the kindness of fellow passengers and the crew.
Skiral Don’t let the seat fool you, it’s rather narrow on Etihad and food quality has dropped A LOT. These guys flew Etihad before they got rid of 3 course meals.
The Qatar stewardess that gave him a Diet Coke was on my flight from Singapore to Doha yesterday and she was so kind to me. She gave me extra things with my meals and when I asked for a sprite she said their not selling it but she went to the back of the plane and got me one anyway!
Yeah, even the American airline's stewardess gave me that. The Qatar stewardess who gave you a diet coke does not mean Etihad or Emirates won't. Etihad is better in my opinion.
Exactly! It's quite not fair to compare lunch/dinner with breakfast menu. However you can make eggs very soft with a better technique of heating (reducing dry heat and putting more medium steam). Those scrambled eggs in the video are unfortunately made wrong way (mistake of galley manager probably)
A huge problem I have with this review format is that people can have different tastes and expectations to anything, especially when it comes to dining and service. To give an example: If myself and two other friends all tasted the exact same meal, chances are that if we were to rate that meal via a score, we would have different numbers. When reviewing the airline classes, for all we know, if those guys tried ALL THREE of those airline flights of the same class (and not review just one) THEN would they give the exact same score as each other? While entertaining and a little bit informative, I just do not see consistency in this review format, unless all three of these guys are reviewing the exact same flight(s) and then giving their thoughts/opinions.
Coudnt be more agree with your comment. for someone who is been flying with these airlines over & over & over again, I always experienced different kind of services and meals and I must say, they always surprised me. every time I go back to Indonesia, service from London abu dabhi & abu dabhi jakarta, london doha & doha jakarta, London dubai & dubai jakarta they are totally 180 different experienced. QATAR, Emirates, Etihad have different services when it comes to different destination. Well I think every months are different.
I've only flown Qatar and Emirates before, but what I remember vividly about Emirates was their in-flight entertainment system. I had a two-leg flight (Europe to Dubai and Dubai to East Asia) and the same favorites I set on my in-flight entertainment system on my first flight, stayed there on my second flight. Even the movie I only watched halfway through was still on, on the 2nd flight right from the time I stopped it. This was a couple of years ago, and it blew my mind
For me Emirates died when they introduced the 15kg luggage restriction for their cheapest fare. I really love Qatar for keeping it up with their 30kg luggage restriction to most destinations and the free seat selection, which is quite rare nowadays.
Remember Qatar Airways giving me a birthday present on my flight back home and the flight itself was amazing. For some reason the cabin was not that crowded so me and my family had like 2-3 rows all to ourselves we basically had business class experience with economy tickets lol
Philippine Airlines trained almost all pilots of Asia, and now they are all exceeding that airline, lmao. But I wouldn't call it bad because they are number one most improved, according to Skytrax as well.
My whole family and I loved our entire experience with Qatar in 2017!! My youngest brother who was 10 years old at the time had really high fever and flu during our flight to Manchester and throughout the whole 8 hours flight the crew was so supportive constantly asking us for anything that we might need and coming up every hour to check his temperature and bringing water and snacks so he would feel as comfortable as possible. His ears were hurting from the soar throat and they even had ear drops for that which I was very surprised by. Loved their hospitality!!
In August 2021, It was my first time ever travelled in an international flight with Etihad Airways (Economy Class). From Manila to Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv... The food were excellent and the cabin crews were quietly friendly. If I'm going to rate the over all services 10 is the heighest and 1 is the lowest it would be 8. 😊
How many meal they served? Could you choose from menu like on qatar? And how many times can you have beverage and snacks? Thank you if you answer would be so great :D
In my opinion it's the other way around. I had really high expectations with Emirates, but they really let me down. Qatar has the best price/quality for sure.
Etihad, in my opinion, is the best, they provide great food, a quality inflight system and the comfiest seat, if you have flown all three you would understand.
@@croydondebruyne9849 Where do you live to need 350 locations? Some "secret" city? I've flown to many places using Etihad, all these locations were available with Emirates and Qatar but Etihad is just better. Didn't you hear from Forbes, that the 2022 best airline and #3 was Etihad? Didn't see the emirates up there!
I flew with all of the three airlines varius times. I have to say that Qatar's and Etihad's food were very good but i didn't liked Emirates food at all. In Qatar the crew was very friendly and it felt a Little bit like being at home, but Etihad ' s and Emirates crew were very professional.
I really appreciate Jean for pulling out the sanitary napkins in the restroom. Nothing sucks more than forgetting to bring a pad then having to ask for one on the plane while you're bleeding between your legs. I always look out for airlines that provides sanitary napkins because it shows that the airline is thoughtful and considerate.
I’ve flown with Qatar four times, and on every occasion I’ve been fortunate to have my own row. The last time, there were two of us in a row, there weren’t many on the flight, so the staff advised us to spread out, after take-off and find an empty row and relax.. 12 hour flight too..
I think for the food, you can’t compare breakfast to lunch. I’m ex crew for Emirates and although some breakfasts are good, they don’t compare to the lunch/dinner meals so I think that may have affected Qatar’s score a little.
I've gone on the way to Japan and i ate the dinner and it was pretty good it was difficult to choose what to eat! since they did have japanese food but they also had some pretty good looking chicken but i ended up eating the japanese food but it was amazing!
I agree! All airlines do pretty rubbish breakfasts so it’s really unfair to compare Qatar to Emirates and Etihad in respect to the food. I had a really nice beef stew on Qatar!
The service part just depends on how full the flight is, where your seat is and how many flight attendants are also doing jobs, you can’t really get too much of an accurate rating on that
Thai Airways A380 upper deck hands-down. Quick service, absolutely delicious food, well-mannered crew and a seat which is actually extremely comfortable. Not to mention, they have large footrests at each seat!
@@nickyjkelvin yeah, but heres a tip: choose a slightly more expensive fare type (class K minimum) so you can reserve the upper deck in advance. I don't call it economy, I call it upper deck economy if anybody ever asks, lol.
As someone who has only traveled personally on Qatar so I will refrain from comments on the other two, but It was a long 14 hour flight on an a350, and I really don't think there was any thing wrong. The crew and entertainment and food were all standouts. The crew were just so nice and they willing, without me asking offered an extra meal. The entertainment was so good like so many different options. Lastly the food was very good especially considering it was economy. So props to Qatar
I feel like breakfast on any airline is a hit or miss. Personally I choose the sweet option for breakfast on any plane. I always fly Qatar instead of Emirates now simply because I find that the Qatar A350s are nicer and the transit experience at Doha’s Hamad is miles ahead of the mess at DXB. Anyway great video and hope to see more amazing content!
CX is completely shit and bull crap I got upgraded to first class of course I accepted. But then they told me that the TV thing was fucking broken. I would rather ride Eco
@@tlon9 Yea, I flew Cathay Pacific a couple of times and it was alright. I flew business class once and the TV was also broken, the hinge didn't lock the TV into the viewing position. Any slight turbulence caused it to swing back into the "closed" position! Luckily it wasn't a long flight and it went pretty smoothly.
I love this video, Etihad is the only airline I have not being on amongst these 3. I love both Emirates and Qatar, looking forward to experiencing Etihad .
Thomson Cheng / I 100% agree, flown both Qatar Airways and Emirates, Both breakfasts are inedible, but the lunch Is amazing, Qatar Airways lunch Is slightly better than Emirates. I overall preferred Qatar Airways. :)
Hi, The Points Guy Departures team. I've enjoyed all your videos and make me always want to fly different flights. It's a request that you could make a full review of the new updated A380s of Emirates VS Qatar VS Singapore on the premium economy classes. Thank you in advance. Keep making more great videos.
I flew both on Emirates and Qatar, also on A380 airbus one from Singapore to Dubai another from Singapore to Doha. I choose Qatar as the seats are more comfortable, food was better too. Good video. Cheers!
just flew emirates to Colombo and the experience on the A380 was great, not so much on a very crowd 777 for second leg. Those headphones are a bit weird but what irritates me is why they (and many others) hand out printed menus when this could easily be handled via the onboard entertainment system. Having flown Etihad to India previously, they're both good airlines experiences.
Terrific video! Definitely earned a subscribe from this traveler! For New Years this year we had the privilege to take Qatar Business class qsuite from JFK to DOha! Incredible journey, however, on the way back we took economy and it was a miserable flight! I agree about the food on Qatar. This was our first time with QATAR. Now in the past we have been very loyal to Emirates airways (jfk - Dubai) long haul flights and 15 years ago when our son was a toddler- the flight attendant literally carried &walked up & down the isle with him to give me some rest. I was given the same courtesy about a few years ago with our daughter! So if your a perspective traveler, I don’t think you can go wrong with picking either of the 3 the gentlemen reviewed! Happy & safe travels 💜
Top review, thanks! I also looked up a lot of reviews before booking 4 flights with Qatar in September, my choice for Qatar was first: price for ticket, second: luggage included in cheapest fare and last: you’re are able to choose your seats for free, and bonus good flights hours. All in all most of them 3 would give the same (top) service in economy onboard but for me Qatar is still a step before the other who changed there policy in economy over the last years.
2019 Melbourne to abu dhabi with Etihad airlines brand new 787 dreamline , worst experince ever . 2011 to 2012 3 - 4 times melbourne to abu dhabi Etihad A 340 was really good . Etihad dont care about passengers at all and i really dont know why they keep the 5 stars
8YL the jet engine in the plane is loud so it limits sound quality. When it comes to planes noise cancelling is the most important thing to block out the jet engine noise. But audio quality and comfortability do matter too😁
My experience with etihad hasn't been good at all. Granted, all my flights with them have been extra long haul to Melbourne and Sydney, but the food was hardly edible, and the little I did ingest gave me a heartburn. The seats were very thin and hard. I had to get disposable pillows to pad the seat with. Turkish is better in long haul economy. Their food is quite good. And on a 13+ hour flight, it does make a difference. Where Turkish looses points, is service. Their crew just don't know how to smile or be warm. Their surly behavior borders on rude most of the time.
I flew Turkish Airlines sometimes emirates once and I can say that Turkish airline the food is good but there's only 2 choices in economy the last time I flew in December 2019 and January 2020 back to UK their service is good since I was 12 back then and hadn't reached puberty they gave me a little bag of wooden flight attendents and pilot a little plane some books I forgot the rest but since I'm older and nearly 15 I doubt I will get that but all in all I give Turkish Airlines a 9.5/10 everything was good but the screens were way too quiet,I went to multiple planes and they are very quiet but you can solve that with headphones,good airline!
Flew with all three, Qatar was the best for me in terms of crew service (they’re friendly x1000), emirates come close as second for me although emirates has the best IFE in the world. Etihad comes no where close, etihad’s crew is alright, but their seats, meh. Looks nice, doesn’t feel nice.
Really hate some of the Etihad seats where the headrest is a solid triangular block on one side of your head. Absolutely impossible to get comfy with them. Also, last time I flew with them, they just forgot to load my requested special meal :/
I personally feel Emirates prioritizes their first and business class product and don't care much about economy. As for service, sometimes the attendants just walk past the seat and think it was an accidental click of the call button and other times, they just ignore it and come 5 minutes later. If you're seated on an A380, I found that most of the cabin crew focused more on the back of the main deck rather than the front near cockpit area. Also, I think Emirates food is good on the other hand. Great video tho!
@@alexpartridge9012 I always fly on qatar air lines and it's my favorite and they are about the same at least qatar allows you to take 30 kg bag with you maybe the food recently is bad
2 weeks ago i went to a flight from Prague - Dubai by Emirates A380 i asked for a coca cola, the flight attendant said “alright, wait a minute” i waited for an hour and she hasn’t bring it to me, so i went up to the drink isle to get it.
I had the same experience last November 2024 i was flying back to Italy 🇮🇹 i was not feeling well and ask a tea but never 👎 received any until i arrived in Italy, after flying with emirates for 14 years its time to say goodbye 👋, emirates disappointed me for there services 2 times
The Qatar and Etihad cabin crew were so friendly at the boarding door! The Emirates guy sounded GRUMPY! 😂 (I’ve come across that on multiple Emirates flights! There was one cabin crew on my flight from LAX-DXB in 2015 who was downright HEINOUS!)
Great video and comparison apart from the food section. It seems impossible to get scrambled eggs right on any flight i've been on and all of the scrambled eggs i've tried have similar taste/texture, so I don't think it should be marked down on that. But Qatar does serve great lunches/dinner too.
Parents flew to Australia on Qatar, 14 hour journey. Everyone was on board and they had a 1 hour delay while everyone was sitting in their seats. For such a long flight they only gave them a snack pastry and dinner - so only one main meal. At "breakfast" time they came around with the same pastry and when people said they were hungry they offered them the leftover dinner meals from the previous service. It was awful!
Good video. Would be interesting to see how each of you would rate the different airlines. For me Qatar Airways is by far the best of the three...its all about opinions
I really want to go on Qatar airways one day. Only disadvantage I would give to etihad airways is it only goes to 160 locations around the world. It doesnt go to alot of places. Qatar and Emirates go 360 locations
good comparison video..much appreciated guys. But , i think , for passengers flying to USA , Etihad's US Pre clearence feature at Abu Dhabi airport is very helpful , one HUGE reason to opt for Etihad while flying into US by Non US citizens .
The crew of the Qatar airways are such lovely friendly people, When my son was almost 3 years old he was tired and it was way past his bedtime, he cried alot and it took a while for him to settle down, they were so helpful and compassionate. They could see how flustered/emotional/teary I was .. they tried their best to help me calm him down, when he finally went to sleep they checked on me again to see how I was doing.

@@sanjaydwivedi7545 if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything
Amazing,Eman.
An important thing is that Qatar has 18,5 inches wide seats, Emirates has 18 and Etihad has 17,5 on their A380s. This matters on a 8-15 hours flight
You probably made that up because obviously Etihad had the widest seat
Ethan Price yeah this Guy probably thinks that AUSTRALIA doesnt exist haha

Oofis mufis

Yeah, even the American airline's stewardess gave me that. The Qatar stewardess who gave you a diet coke does not mean Etihad or Emirates won't. Etihad is better in my opinion.
My bro was sick on Emirates and the crew was so supportive and helpful and this was on a six hour flight to London
Qatar does serve a very good Lunch and Dinner. It is impossible to make the breakfast omelette stays soft inside the oven.
Then they could serve something else -
I am a gold member with qatar few 10 legs in a year and the food is not good in economy.
Exactly! It's quite not fair to compare lunch/dinner with breakfast menu. However you can make eggs very soft with a better technique of heating (reducing dry heat and putting more medium steam). Those scrambled eggs in the video are unfortunately made wrong way (mistake of galley manager probably)

Now do RyanAir, Easyjet, and Norwegian

Norwegian is not really budget air
Food4you they’re a budget airline, similar policies to the former two with the exception is that their seats recline.
Luleph Ryanair is a classic for me aha
Norwegian was amazing, they gave me free tea :D Easyjet is not bad, a decent budget air. RyanAir is called Cryanair in the UK. You can guess why.

@@tlon9 Yea, I flew Cathay Pacific a couple of times and it was alright. I flew business class once and the TV was also broken, the hinge didn't lock the TV into the viewing position. Any slight turbulence caused it to swing back into the "closed" position! Luckily it wasn't a long flight and it went pretty smoothly.
And Air India
Love these comparison videos, keep it up
Thanks Agam!
Another fantastic TPG UK video. Love this economy spin on the previous 4 cabin concept. Keep surprising me guys, I like it :)
well narrated with examples... these are way frequent flyers really need.. thanks for such a wonderful videos
I love this video, Etihad is the only airline I have not being on amongst these 3. I love both Emirates and Qatar, looking forward to experiencing Etihad .
Love the format yet again, a 3way comparison. Great details, comprehensive and lighthearted.
Keep them coming guys!

what a shame he got the old A380 IFE screens instead of the amazing new HD screens that are being retrofitted
I think if they all had taken morning flights with breakfast, they would have all given low marks for the food not only just for Qatar
Thomson Cheng omelets are just bad on fights.
Thomson Cheng / I 100% agree, flown both Qatar Airways and Emirates, Both breakfasts are inedible, but the lunch Is amazing, Qatar Airways lunch Is slightly better than Emirates.
I overall preferred Qatar Airways. :)
Hi, The Points Guy Departures team. I've enjoyed all your videos and make me always want to fly different flights. It's a request that you could make a full review of the new updated A380s of Emirates VS Qatar VS Singapore on the premium economy classes. Thank you in advance. Keep making more great videos.
Only just caught up with this posting !! As always chaps a great vlog....loved it !! Stay well in these most awful of times !!
I flew both on Emirates and Qatar, also on A380 airbus one from Singapore to Dubai another from Singapore to Doha.
I choose Qatar as the seats are more comfortable, food was better too.
Good video.
Cheers!
Singapore to Doha? I went on a flight like that. The next flight was in an A380.
Emirates is far better than Qatar airways
@@mohammedashrafkhan5165exactly. i fly 1000 times with emirates but only 4 times with qatar
Can you also compare services provided by Singapore airlines?
For me its Qatar Airways thé best economy. And for food its one of the best
I know soooo good
Service infanate/10
@evakatrina a i think yeah . for food its not the best but its very good
I agree but sometimes the food is old
youcef toun I agree I have been told by plenty the food is nice and I think they have nice corlors
just flew emirates to Colombo and the experience on the A380 was great, not so much on a very crowd 777 for second leg. Those headphones are a bit weird but what irritates me is why they (and many others) hand out printed menus when this could easily be handled via the onboard entertainment system. Having flown Etihad to India previously, they're both good airlines experiences.
Excellent guys..two thumbs up..keep growing !!
Great video boys. So informative and well presented :) Can't wait for the first class review of all 3 haha
Next economy review do:
Air China, China Eastern, China Southern.
74Drive Or... American, United, Delta?
I have to disagree. Qatar is amazing and I've flown on the other two and especially Etihad came no where close to Emirates and Qatar
Like he said, it was just circumstantial and if it wasnt for the food, it would have been much better
Me too
I beg to differ
Hello There, a decent comparative vlog, a decent and well produced review video throughout. Cheers Peter Mc :)
Terrific video! Definitely earned a subscribe from this traveler! For New Years this year we had the privilege to take Qatar Business class qsuite from JFK to DOha! Incredible journey, however, on the way back we took economy and it was a miserable flight! I agree about the food on Qatar. This was our first time with QATAR. Now in the past we have been very loyal to Emirates airways (jfk - Dubai) long haul flights and 15 years ago when our son was a toddler- the flight attendant literally carried &walked up & down the isle with him to give me some rest. I was given the same courtesy about a few years ago with our daughter! So if your a perspective traveler, I don’t think you can go wrong with picking either of the 3 the gentlemen reviewed! Happy & safe travels 💜
Great Video!
Top review, thanks! I also looked up a lot of reviews before booking 4 flights with Qatar in September, my choice for Qatar was first: price for ticket, second: luggage included in cheapest fare and last: you’re are able to choose your seats for free, and bonus good flights hours. All in all most of them 3 would give the same (top) service in economy onboard but for me Qatar is still a step before the other who changed there policy in economy over the last years.
They charged me for mine
I haven’t had a chance to fly Qatar much. Between Etihad and Emirates, I always prefer Emirates. I don’t know why but Etihad’s interior puts me off.
Amazing review!very helpful
You guys are the best, thank you for the video
I missed the guy who flew eco plus on your previous video
ಠωಠ
regardless, excellent concept and delivery!!! 👏👏👏
Literally no one's talking about Etihad in the comments section :(
Ikr and now im stressing out because im flying with etihad in 2 weeks
Esmée Sophie well you shouldn’t stress out because these are top airlines and that doesn’t mean Etihad is bad
SocBall ow well thanks :)
Etihad is bad just took it from Sydney to Paris both ways were bad. I am finished with them
2019 Melbourne to abu dhabi with Etihad airlines brand new 787 dreamline , worst experince ever . 2011 to 2012 3 - 4 times melbourne to abu dhabi Etihad A 340 was really good . Etihad dont care about passengers at all and i really dont know why they keep the 5 stars
Pls try the same thing again but in other classes 😊
And other airlines
currently planning to go to tampa the video helped i had an option of emirates or qatar airways or eithad
Why is noise cancelling the only thing that matters to them, comfortable and audio quality also validate the overall rating of the headphones
8YL the jet engine in the plane is loud so it limits sound quality. When it comes to planes noise cancelling is the most important thing to block out the jet engine noise. But audio quality and comfortability do matter too😁
The headphones of emirates are very uncomfortable to wear. The shape is square which makes it horribly uncomfortable to wear
If it cancels out noise of babies and children, then it matters
My experience with etihad hasn't been good at all. Granted, all my flights with them have been extra long haul to Melbourne and Sydney, but the food was hardly edible, and the little I did ingest gave me a heartburn. The seats were very thin and hard. I had to get disposable pillows to pad the seat with.
Turkish is better in long haul economy. Their food is quite good. And on a 13+ hour flight, it does make a difference. Where Turkish looses points, is service. Their crew just don't know how to smile or be warm. Their surly behavior borders on rude most of the time.
I flew Turkish Airlines sometimes emirates once and I can say that Turkish airline the food is good but there's only 2 choices in economy the last time I flew in December 2019 and January 2020 back to UK their service is good since I was 12 back then and hadn't reached puberty they gave me a little bag of wooden flight attendents and pilot a little plane some books I forgot the rest but since I'm older and nearly 15 I doubt I will get that but all in all I give Turkish Airlines a 9.5/10 everything was good but the screens were way too quiet,I went to multiple planes and they are very quiet but you can solve that with headphones,good airline!
Etihad is a great Airline. No airline is better than Etihad
Flew with all three, Qatar was the best for me in terms of crew service (they’re friendly x1000), emirates come close as second for me although emirates has the best IFE in the world. Etihad comes no where close, etihad’s crew is alright, but their seats, meh. Looks nice, doesn’t feel nice.
Really hate some of the Etihad seats where the headrest is a solid triangular block on one side of your head. Absolutely impossible to get comfy with them. Also, last time I flew with them, they just forgot to load my requested special meal :/
Etihad is the worst
I personally feel Emirates prioritizes their first and business class product and don't care much about economy. As for service, sometimes the attendants just walk past the seat and think it was an accidental click of the call button and other times, they just ignore it and come 5 minutes later. If you're seated on an A380, I found that most of the cabin crew focused more on the back of the main deck rather than the front near cockpit area. Also, I think Emirates food is good on the other hand. Great video tho!
I love to travel a lot but had never fly too far from my country. I wish one day I could fly aboard with these three airlines. Finger crossed 🤞🏼
This is my favourite video on RUclips
Do a comparison with a KLM and Airfrance businessclass (intercontinental) flight ! :)
Great idea!
Qatar is the best, flew on all the airlines. Many times, economy and business class.
Qatar tops any time ✌🏼👌🏼 but awesome video
Thanks Ross!
I agree
Agree
I flew Qatar compared to Emirates they were terrible
@@alexpartridge9012 I always fly on qatar air lines and it's my favorite and they are about the same at least qatar allows you to take 30 kg bag with you maybe the food recently is bad
2 weeks ago i went to a flight from Prague - Dubai by Emirates A380 i asked for a coca cola, the flight attendant said “alright, wait a minute” i waited for an hour and she hasn’t bring it to me, so i went up to the drink isle to get it.
I had the same experience last November 2024 i was flying back to Italy 🇮🇹 i was not feeling well and ask a tea but never 👎 received any until i arrived in Italy, after flying with emirates for 14 years its time to say goodbye 👋, emirates disappointed me for there services 2 times
i’m so happy i subscribed to you guys
The Qatar and Etihad cabin crew were so friendly at the boarding door! The Emirates guy sounded GRUMPY! 😂 (I’ve come across that on multiple Emirates flights! There was one cabin crew on my flight from LAX-DXB in 2015 who was downright HEINOUS!)
Great video and comparison apart from the food section. It seems impossible to get scrambled eggs right on any flight i've been on and all of the scrambled eggs i've tried have similar taste/texture, so I don't think it should be marked down on that. But Qatar does serve great lunches/dinner too.
For me, Qatar Airways is the Best 😍♥️🇶🇦
emirates far superior for me
Nah. Etihad is the best
Are the drinks for free? Like the wine, gin tonic etc..??
I'll be flying Qatar next week. Very excited
Water, juice, sodas, spirits, beer, tea, coffee... everything for free
Parents flew to Australia on Qatar, 14 hour journey. Everyone was on board and they had a 1 hour delay while everyone was sitting in their seats. For such a long flight they only gave them a snack pastry and dinner - so only one main meal. At "breakfast" time they came around with the same pastry and when people said they were hungry they offered them the leftover dinner meals from the previous service. It was awful!
Hello :) could make a new video from this 3 airlines. Is the standard better now?
Good video. Would be interesting to see how each of you would rate the different airlines. For me Qatar Airways is by far the best of the three...its all about opinions
I really want to go on Qatar airways one day. Only disadvantage I would give to etihad airways is it only goes to 160 locations around the world. It doesnt go to alot of places. Qatar and Emirates go 360 locations
malwani chicken in emirates, good to see our local food is serving globally.
good comparison video..much appreciated guys. But , i think , for passengers flying to USA , Etihad's US Pre clearence feature at Abu Dhabi airport is very helpful , one HUGE reason to opt for Etihad while flying into US by Non US citizens .
Cool 😎 video, thank you for all the useful info
