    Nice review on Qatar Airways economy class! I know lots of people cover their Business products, so its nice to see what to expect for the common flyer!

    • @liftoffandtravel
      @liftoffandtravel  4 месяца назад +3

      So true and the price for Q Suite are no so cheap these days. I remember once seeing £1600 in Business to Australia. Many years ago 💷
      Solid product in economy, decent food and as always good in flight entertainment.

    Hi did you check in a bag. Were they strict with the weight. How was the rating for customer service, seat comfort and food

    • @liftoffandtravel
      @liftoffandtravel  3 месяца назад

      My bag wasn't particularly heavy at 10kg so wasn't an issue. As for the cabin crew it all depends. They are human so some will be better than others. I didn't feel very chatty by the end of the second flight.
      Seat was as comfortable as you can get for economy. Food was good but there is only one option for the snack.

    The 3-4-3 seats across ‘club’ refers only to the B777.3-4-3 seating does not exist on any B787.The original B787 was meant to be 2-4-2,8 across,not 9 as they are now on most airlines except JL.3-4-3 on a B 787 would not work ,as the 3-3-3 they have today is hardly sustainable for minimal comfort on long hauls.If anyone knows about a carrier that flies the B787 with 3-4-3,plz let me know,it would def make it to my black list.Nice video,thanks.

    • @liftoffandtravel
      @liftoffandtravel  4 месяца назад

      Agreed, recently flew it on Americans 777-200 for 4hrs and it felt tight. Doesn't help the height of the seats is small.
      Would avoid that one to 😅

      Your Statement regarding
      Seat Configuration is wrong.
      Flew with Quatar Düsseldorf Doha in January this year in 3 4 3
      Service, Food was fare away from World-class.
      Never again, Emirates is
      better

    If flying economy class can you still make use of showers etc at the Doho airport without paying to use it

    • @liftoffandtravel
      @liftoffandtravel  3 месяца назад +1

      You need to travelling in Business Class or have status but I did find this extract on one of the reviews website.
      If you don't have access to a lounge with free showers, you can pay to use the Doha Airport shower facilities at the Vitality Wellbeing & Fitness Centre or the Be Relax Spa

    U can shower in Doha? Do u need to pay extra?

    • @liftoffandtravel
      @liftoffandtravel  4 месяца назад +1

      So to access the One World lounges you must have One World Saphire or higher status. Showers are complimentary in the lounge 👍
      There aren't many in the south lounge though.

      @liftoffandtravel  День назад +1

      Is that in addition to another bag? I took only a rucksack and that was fine but also checked in a suite case.
      However I have status. If you type in to Google Qatar carry on baggage you might be able to find the specific sizes

    2:32 More forgiving? The 3-3-3 on the B787 Is just as bad, if not worse and tighter than the 3-4-3 on the B777.
    The B787 was designed for a 2-4-2 config, just like how the Boeing 777 was designed for the 3-3-3.
    The best Is A350, it’s wider than the B787 but slightly narrower than the B777, airlines cannot fit in that extra seat without making it extremely uncomfortable, hence it has a spacious 3-3-3 config, unlike the 787.

    • @liftoffandtravel
      @liftoffandtravel  3 месяца назад

      That's a good summary 👍 there isn't a lot of difference width wise but particularly on airlines like AA who cram in 3:4:3 it's noticeable. Can't even put your arms down by your side.

      Yes avoid the seats that are 3:4:3 across the plane. The 787 is a friendly 3:3:3

      Qantas wanted $150 😨 for a throne seat and a recent 2hr flight with Wizzair was $30...
      If you've got money to spare then great but if not they are all the same just extra leg room. So debatable.

      Which plane did you fly with Emirates? Not tried Etihad in economy. We did recently fly the A380 with Emirates and we were impressed with how much food they give you! It was only a 2hr flight as well..
      will be trying Business class later in the year. I admit Qatar aren't perfect but we won't go in to that.

      Did Etihad Business from AD to KL. amazing service. Kuwait Airlines is excellent. I also look at the service of the staff, the airport experience. I just found Hamed to be extremely busy it was simple to navigate with good signposts. The cubicles had a massive queue seriously?
      Emirates was Dubai to Bangkok to Sydney the staff were first class the absolute pinnacle.

      I admit the boarding process for Qatar always leave a lot to be desired. No queues and rarely on time.
