- I had the priviledge to atttend this wonderful event. All speeches and musical presenttions you find on the Airbus website. Yet, the best was still to come..the first passenger flight after the speeches - just join my report, but pls be benign..I traded timeliness for editing:) If you want to go straight to the flight move on to 05:47
Congratulations Homer for being a part of this 'flight to nowhere' - you are honored appropriately for your great work in the sky informing all of us. Merci !
Thank you..yes, it was a priviledge and a day I shall never forget:)
The cabin really is impressive.for me it's the most beautiful looking aeroplane out there.
Yes..although the 787 cabin of Qatar Looks almost the same..it always depends on what the Airlines do with an aircraft
Homer.. For years I've always watched your videos.. As RUclipsers who love flying/aviation we are lucky that someone shares his passion at the same time shares his views and inflight experience any passenger curious about. Lovely how you've flown on worlds leading airlines. Hats off to you.
abdulla noor Thank you very much indeed for this wonderful comment! Fortunately, over time, there are more and more people doing it and we can enjoy their videos, too:)))
What a phenomenal report, homer. I really enjoyed that. You are so lucky to have been able to get on this flight. It clearly was for the media and journalists; it was great that you were able to be on board. The a350 looks like a wonderful plane. I love how all these new planes are so quiet now compared to the previous generation of planes. It looked like even in economy, it is a wonderful product. It's interesting how the A350 uses winglets instead of the raked wings like the 787. I wonder if there is much of a difference in the technology. Thanks for posting this homer. What a unique experience!
sfflyer123 What a great pleasure to hear from you..sorry for the late reply. Yes, for every avgeek (hehe) this was an unforgettable experience and i was lucky in so many ways..being there..flying at a cristal clear blue sky..and having a window seat!! Very best regards..when will you be coming to Germany again?
homer3152
mmmh now i'm a bit undecided... One Flight over Russia or both Qatar flights to Tokyo over Doha... fly A350 and B787 in a row? ^_^
homer3152 Nice tour homer..keep up the good work man ...i guess i see you on another video soon :) keep em coming ..
Just back from BKK with Finnair...video report coming in due course:)
homer3152
nice, homer. I hope to see your report. I will hopefully be in Germany in September. If you are there, let us get a beer!
Thank you Homer for this great video. You were very lucky to be included among this group to get a personal viewing of the 350. Very jealous! I loved the clip of the Mountains. Looking forward to your next production :)
I miss your videos, they are so good, enjoyable and I could watch them over and over again thank you sir.
Kappa Thank you very much..right now I have less time to prepare new ones..but at least 3 are in the production line:)
Excellent, its good to see it coming into service and wonderful that you were able to be on that flight. Look forward to your first commercial A350 review.
Great video and description, not as boring as most other A350 video's on RUclips. Waiting for Finnair report ;)
I recall my first flight with Qatar Air with great fondness. It is my favorite airline and I fly with them whenever possible. I flew in an A380 from Philidelphia to Doha then Doha to Manila.
Thank you so much Homer for the upload, the A350 looks to be a truly magnificent aircraft.
Conor Mc Kernan It is..thank you very much for watching!
Just excellent Homer! Not only were you exclusive with the A380, but the A350 on the other hand, i'm sure there wont be many trip reports in the near future. :) The cabin looks great. When I first saw the overhead bins I didn't really understand why they designed them like that, but now I see that they really are extra large. It's amazing what you got to experience yesterday, and thank you for sharing it!
My big pleasure..specially for you:) Kind regards!
What an experience and privilege to be the first to fly on the A350! Great review, the A350 is a stunning plane.
***** Thank you very much..yes..it was T H E day for me:)))
Really I get so amazed and make me so proud as one passenger of qatar airways. The design of the airplane. The uniforms and specially the treatment for the passenger so amazing. I cannot denny the fact that they are the best airline of the world..keep it up and see you soon in my journey in the future 😊
Hopefully azt the bar of the A380:) Thank you very much for your nice reply.
Really I want be a part of this team.but sad to say all the time i applied is postponed. .but it's ok. .still they are the best of me..ever!!one day I wish I can be wear those uniform.that is my dream come true
What a beautiful plane, excellent livery, incredibly turned out cabin crew and a great video. Thanks for sharing. :0)
Absolutely brilliant Homer...i'm pleased you made it...I find it fitting that you as one of the original AV Geek reviewers on RUclips should be the first to have the A350 video up.
It's like an early Christmas present for all us loyal Homer fans. Right...on a more serious note...Who was that beautiful young lady you had the company of flying with? 😉 I noticed you flew over the legendary training base of Castelnaudary..the place that starts to mould the most elite fighting unit in the world....After the SAS and SBS of course (Well I am British)...The French Foreign Legion!!. Thank you for the live photos yesterday and thanks for uploading this splendid video so soon. Emirates Alex keep off that dislike button 😉
I am amazed about your detailed geographical knowledge:)) Yes..it was a total expereience for an avgeek like me:))
magic plane, just flew on an a380 from sydney to frankfurt in the premium economy, and it was amazingly quiet flight. I love all airbus planes and I'm flying every 4 weeks between Sydney and Thailand. I prefer airbus to any other plane.
Look at that pretty bird! Love the sun glass look on the cockpit windows.
Well done Homer, and congrats on getting the privileges to see the A350 delivery!
P.S.: I am a week late to see this, but still great to watch! :)
Thank you very much Nihsel..better late than never:)))
What a wonderful flight! The economy class looks just superb - thanx for sharing!
My pleasure..nice to hear from you again:)
Man, that is one beautiful aircraft...inside & out!
Wow such a fantastic video homer !! another great job. We look forward to travelling on this beautiful bird soon :) . The cabin crew on Qatar are up there with Emirates. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great flight yourself..nd take a video:)
Thank you very much for this video! The A350XWB sure is an elegant plane. Can't wait to fly one!
My pleasure..glad you liked it:)
Fantastic review, homer! I always enjoy watching your reviews for u also inject some humour in your videos! Keep it up! 😉 Shukran
My pleasure..thank you very much for the nice words..Shukran:)
My goodness...what a perfect share!? Thank you for this! Are you a journalist? Freelancer? How does one qualify for this event of a lifetime?!
Fantastic! You really do bring the love of the travel experience through in your vlogs. I hope that one day I will have the privilege to capture that same love if I have the privilege to do any Copywriting work for them in the future. Thank you again for transporting me to a destination we all want to go…forever in the air and in 1st class...
PBlueturtle "Forever in the Air and First Class"..what a nice Quote to start 2015:))) Thank you very much for this wonderful comment..I am sure I will see luxury flight Video from you in the future, because you will make your dreams come true:)
Thanks for the upload Homer I was n't able to watch the life presentation, during the vid I was a bit dissapointed but finally there it was the rotating plate !! ;-)
Regards Maarten
Never without it lol:)
Marvelous plane. Blessed are the men's inventive minds for the good!
Brilliant video Homer, the Airbus A350 looks EPIC!
Yessss..thts why I choose the music:)))
im in love with the wingview and the plane in general!
What a magnificent looking aircraft!
I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't jealous, amazing airline, amazing experience.
I am jealous of myself, lol..yes..outstanding experience!
Wow! a350 looks amazing! It's so much better than QR A330, their cabin needs to have this!! Looks outstanding
Thank you!
A beautiful plane, apparently a great flight and best wishes for a successful career in flight with it.
MrMrwilson11 Thank you very much for commenting and best wishes for you, too!!
That was exceptional!!!
Thanks for sharing this exclusive experience with us aviation junkies
The A350 is a beautiful looking plane, on looks alone I like it better than the 787, but either aircraft would be perfect if you're flying with Qatar Airways!
Frohe Weihnachten und ein Gutes Neues Jahr!!!!
soixante douze Thank you very much for this nice comment!! Yes, whatever aircraft - it depends always on what the Airlines make out of it..I just wrote such a comment yesterday on another Video. Alles Gute und herzliche Gruesse!!
Thanks for uploading - great video of a beautiful aircraft! Personally, though I love both, think I like the 787 just a little more. It pushes the tech envelope a bit further with greater use of composites, electrical systems and more radical wing design. Both seem on par with avionics. I look forward to seeing them side by side at the gates of the world! I'm just sad to see all the 767s, A3xxs and even 757s 'die off' as a result :(
What a magnificent video, Homer! what an honour to be a part of all that went on ... who was the lovely lady sitting in a seat close to you - she was very pretty ... until next time, cheers and a very Merry Christmas to YOU & YOURS :) xo
Judi Fotherby Sorry for late reply..always a pleasure to her from you. My very best wishes and greetings to you..have a great 2015!
Superb video Homer! You are now getting invites to these important companies presentation and launches! :)
Thank you very much!
I was watching the launch live (finally have decent internet speed, yeah!) on RUclips, and all the while, I was wondering if you were there, Homer! Very happy to see I guessed well! :D
8:55 What lovely company you have Homer!
S7r0ng3r
I was thinking the same as you. Nice colour nails on that hand.
This day was every avgeek´s dream:)
To be part of aviation history, as you have been Homer :)
Thanks for sharing! What an amazing plane it is :)
My pleasure..yes..I loved it:)
No comment from no comments
Thats amazig you were on that flight. When I saw Qater took delivery, I knew there would be a flight report from you soon. I did not know it would be soooo soon. Thanks for sharing with us.
TalksWithDirt Always a pleasure to hear from you..and thank you for thinking of me when watching TV:) Very best regards for 2015!
Awesome report! I don't know what I should write.
Thank you for sharing your video with us. I am looking forward to your next video!!
Frederick König Always great to hear from you Frederick..have a great 2015!!!
Thanks for letting me see the inside of the 350 Homer! Keep it up! :) Wish you all the best!
Thank you very much..best wishes to you for 2015!
woow. thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with the rest of us, you are one lucky man :) that cabin looks amazing, even though i'm no big fan of the a350. how was the IFE? especially the touchscreen, is it better than on their 787? thanks again!
Always a special pleasure to hear from you - one of my fav youtubers:)) Did not try the IFE on this short flight..my IFE was the window:) But Screen was excellent and menue structure seeme ok. I would expect it to be identical to the 787 in prnciple. Very best regards!
Once the tourist mabuse8306 referred to video homer3152
lol i remember the vid where u struggled with the touchscreen Amandeuce
It's great that you started posting more videos again :D I have just booked a flight to Hawaii and i'm really exited about it :D
Pls take a video of your flight!
Oh i will :D
Wonderful ! Amazing to see you were allowed to be part of this unique flight. The plane looks really nice and of course Qatar's livery is beautiful. Can't wait for your flight in this beauty. At firts look, which one do you prefer ? A350 or B787 ? Cheers :)
C Travels Thank you very much for your comment. Not sure that as a passenger there will be big differences, particularly as QR equips bot with an (at first look) identical cabin. Hope I will find out more in a few weeks when I fly the A350 again.
Wow! What a report! Thank you so much for sharing :) The plane looks stunning (especially the "sharklets"), as well as the cabin! Did it meet your expectations? Your way of filming/flirting with the FA is the funniest thing ;) Is it Fabrice Brégier speaking at 16:20 btw? Thanks again, looking forward to see more!
2fly2 Thank you very much for your nice comment. Yes, I liked the cabin very much. I shall be travelling on their 2nd 359 very soon - this time in Business Class. From DOH i shall continue in the Dreamliner should be a nice comparison. I shall take a video. Fllow me on Twitter and Insta for some live images from the trip:)
You are one lucky guy ;) Will do!
awesome trip report! It's such a beautiful aircraft. Did they invite you to fly on this flight?
Yes, they did
Thank you for sharing this great video! It feels like I was watching from Toulouse ;)
You are welcome:)
Lucky man! :) Congratulations to this special experience and thank you for sharing!
My pleasure for sure!
wooow all of the QR FAs on this flight are soo beautiful daang, great video sir!
Wonderful video as always Homer! But, 18" coach/economy seats are not that large at all. I was stuck in full coach cabin in an 18" seat for a 10 hour flight with my knees hitting the seat in front of me. Mind you, I'm only 5' 6.5". I would think that such an elegant airline would at least have 20" seats in the back.
Unfortunatly that about the standard for economy now.. at 20" you're moving into premium economy territory.. anything to make more money off us!
Your a lucky man to be on one of the first flights of the 350, nice video too.
the cabin crew in the end of video,she's so adorable and gorgeous!!! love her smile :)
+DK TPS Yes,,very sweet
Once again very nice video Homer :) The cabin looks really nice, modern and wide, but I must admit that I don't like the conformation of windows in economy. Like in most Boeing aircrafts windows are not parallel with seat, wich is not good for filming. I don't know why Airbus is start with this. But instead of this everything else looks gorgeous :)
No, they're all the same, you've just been lucky whenever you've traveled on Airbuses :-) You can get duff seats and seats with a properly positioned window on both Boeings and Airbuses. It all depends on the particular airlines seating layout and where you choose to sit. There are websites that can advise you of the best seats though.
Not really sure about the Windows..I always felt it depended also on the seat where you were sitting. On this flight, they were perfectly aligned for me..and biig..perfect for filming.
Really nice report...long life to QATAR airways and A350-900...
Thank you!
Its nice that someone got information regarding the new plane... Good job mate.... Though I'm sure the food won't be the same that you have once we had our daily flight
Hi homer3152
Seen your videos in the past...
M happy that you are in the first A350 well done mate
***** Thank you very much!!
Thanks you for sharing this Homer and Happy Holidays!
Thank you very much..same to you!
wow...great video Homer, thank you for sharing!!
What a great video !!! Thanks again from Belgium !!!
Very Kind regards to my neighbours:))
What a fast climb! And I thought the 77W was fast at that!
JaqksonMC True
Very true
Hi homer another Brest video and what luck to be on the first A350 commercial flight can't wait to see more
Merry christmas
*great
Thank you very much..yes, I was luck:)))
Great in depth video - yes she is a gorgeous bird! Lucky you.
Thank you:)
This aircraft reminds me a lot of the 787! Similar windows and similar business class seats! I appreciate the tour of the inside! Happy Holidays!
Thank you ver much, ame to you. Windows here are much bigger, however.
homer3152 actually 787 windows are the largest of any civillian aircraft
Patrick Ssenyonjo
I heard the same. The 787 windows are said to be taller than normal whilst the A350 windows are supposed to be wider. It may be that window width makes more of an impression/ is more effective than height.
Similar windows.....? You realize it looks just like any other airplane windows right?
Mah584jr HD Aviation ....Window or porthole? I prefer porthole! Like bulkhead - not ceiling! Johnnie de Bangkok Aviation & Travel Editor PattayaToday Life & Leisure www.pattayatoday.net
Thanks homer3152 , this is an amazing aircraft :) Hope to see you onboard !
I do hope so, too:))) Are you QR Crew?
homer3152 no, but I'm waiting for an amazing flight review as usual!
ooooow Homer that music!!! It sounds like an old Nintendo game :-) ...amazing video! thank you so much for sharing.
Did you really say that? Mozart? Zauberflöte? Nintendo? No. You did not. Right? :)))
homer3152 no no i mean the music playing in the cabin :-) ...offcourse not your background. Around 12:00 minutes you hear it very good.
Vielen Dank für diesen interessanten Bericht ! Die Business Class zeigt aber deutliche Parallelen zum Dreamliner - zumindest auf den ersten Blick. Ich fliege am 29.01 mit QR68 FRA-DOH lt. Plan mit dem A350, ich bin wirklich schon sehr gespannt.
Ich habe auch keinen Unterschied erkennen können - ausser bei den Fenstern. Machen Sie doch ein kleines Video:))
Vielen Dank, oh je - mit den Videos legen Sie die Messlatte ziemlich hoch ;)
Ich schau es mir dann mal an in gut 2 Wochen.
That is one beautiful plane!
wow what a great experience that is even for just video.thank you homer very much thank you.
my pleasure!
This is why I like the A350, its completely new design from the ground up, new engine, new airframe, new everything, vs the Boeing 777X is refresh of early 90's 777, with a fuselage stretched so long it will be dangerously vulnerable to tailstrikes, and if a 777X's folding wingtip mechanism fails, the 777X wingspan will be too long and won't even fit into the airport's gates!!!
JundaComputersGmbH Interesting comment.
The Boeing 787 is the A350 competitor, not the 777X or otherwise. The 787 is also new from the ground up.
The fact is
I would be scared to death on a first flight! The crazy part is im from the First Flight state! lol Great post pal!
WAAAAW!. I didn't realize that HOMER will board on an economy class!!. But I guess you enjoyed the experience even in an economy class which seems similar to business :)
Good luck and looking forward to your future videos!
fassooool Oooh yess..I would have enjoyed this day in any class, hehe. But meanwhile I expereinced this aircraft in Business and trust you have watched the report:)
Thanks, that you did it! But the music of Q A is terrible.
Hehe..I think it is the best ever for a flight:))))
Hey Homer, what is your day job? I see you traveling a lot and also getting in this type of events and I was wondering. Are you working in aviation or something? Thank you for you response and great job, keep it up!
No..my job has nothing to do with aviation..but for sure in my next life:)
Great video! It would be great to see a video like this of the Etihad 787
I hope somebody will take it:)
Wow just wow. Great video again homer
Thank you very much!
You are soo lucky to be in that plane nice video airbus is really trying to compete with the dreamliner
Excellent Tour, enjoyed the commentary.
Thank you very much!!
1. 08:55 Finally, Homer travelling with a nice companion or at any rate a nice seat mate.
2. 15:20 Great look on Stew's face when she gets bumped and almost spilled the champagne.
3. Listen, I am the first adopter in anything tech. But, I really wonder what big data shows us with regards to passenger selection of an airline or a flight based on Airplane Model. I am sure the determinant factor is price period...
radbcc Price is a big factor..but also airline loyalty programmes..where you collect your miles and how you can use them. There are many more factors..e.g. for me having a single seat at the window..other People have different preferences
Cool to hear "All Together Blue" at 19:42 with that sax sample
I mist say A350 is the best plane ever! nice video!
I always thought this plane was good. Now, I think this is absolutely amazing! I just wish Emirates Airlines would get like 90 of this plus the -1000 expansion. Probably worth more than the 140 A380's they're getting :)
They canceled:) Bot both planes will fulfill their roles and are being needed.
Very nice video
kyle oyugi Thank you very much!
GREAT VIDEO HOMER!!!!!!!!STILL WONDER WHY A350 FLAP IS NOISY AS A380 FLAP
I am wondering too!
Very nice video, nice aircraft. Thanks Homer :D
My pleasure!
Wow, my wish is to travel the world. You sir are a lucky man
Homer Thankyou for sharing this great event ur so lucky to travel on the first A350XWB what a beautiful plane she is, but how did u manage to get to the ceremony & get on the plane, a dream come true, i would of luved to be on that plane, great video footage well done & gr8 work & i hope u have a merry Xmas & a Happy new Yr 2015 :)
Tim Miles Sorry for the late reply..best late wishes for you, too. Yes, I was very lucky:)))
Amazing report! Curious - how did you get yourself invited to such an event? I wanna go too......
did you know The name For this bording music in 8:25 please i love it
Hi Homer...enjoy your vids...man I'd love to fly Qatar Airways..ah well..
can always visit this way...lol
As usual FANTASTIC video report Homer!
8:55 She's niiiice! did you get lucky Homer? Would love to "fly" with her :D
What a GORGEOUS bird she is!!...the plane I mean... of course... :D
Your Report is fantastic!
I'm curious if Lufthansa will take the A350 opposite.
Thank you so much..herzliche Gruesse nach Berlin:)
And You Airbus Fans...You know this is NOT a New Design'd Plane. IT is a off shoot of the A330. IT is the same frame with new engines. Plus some Carbon Fiber Parts. Where as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was a Totally New Plane built from the ground up.
oh, amazing video by the way. just got a new suber.
Geminijets NewMexico A pleasure to welcome you:)))
what a happiness!! Airbus is amazing!
noa'ia 'e sik ma keleag lelei (thanks for the beautiful video).....always enjoy watching vidoes of aircrafts whether it's from Boeing or Airbus.
Thank you very much for watching:)))
Great video! Why there is a hole in the middle of the tray table?
I think that is where you put your fingers to deploy the tray
Random channel Hehe..ist for a class or Cup, of course
Mind blowing videos.. very fascinating indeed..
+Fida Muradi Wow..thank you very much for this kind comment!
hi homer , what a grat video, hope soon more reports from you
Did you see all the old ones yet, lol?
This amazing video and thaank you for sharing what was the name of that beautifull opera?
Great video

Madscientist-2000 It was a round trip from/to Toulouse..just watch the inflight map:)
