My journey started at LHR T4 in the amazing Qatar Airways Business Class lounge. This is probably the best business class lounge I have visited! It was not too busy and the lounge had a great offering from showers, drinks, a-la-carte dining as well as other dining options, wireless and wired charging for devices and, friendly and helpful staff! I don’t normally eat in the lounge too much but they seemed to have some good options and the staff were so welcoming that I couldn’t resist!
When it was time to board the aircraft, I arrived as the first passenger to board. Elina was at the door and helped me to my seat. She asked one of the crew to go through the seat features, safety and so on with me. Once seated, I received a cold towel, pyjamas and a welcome drink. I opted for their signature mint and lemon drink which was delicious.
As it was a night flight, the lights were dimmed for take-off and replaced with some beautiful mood-lighting! The aircraft has 2 external cameras giving you a better overall viewing experience.
The aircraft is WIFI enabled! Qatar Airways own loyalty programme is called The Privilege Club and just by joining this programme gives you 1 hour of free WIFI on-board! Alternatively, you can pre-purchase a pass for $8 prior to the flight or a pass on board for just $10! This is cheap!
There are 3 lavatories serving the 46 QSuites, so about 1 lavatory for every 15 QSuites. The lavatories are stocked with lotion, dental and shaving kits! They were always kept clean!
The IFE (Inflight Entertainment) screen measures in at 21.5 inches from its top left corner to its bottom right corner. The screen is crisp and clear as well as responsive! However, you can also pair your own device or use the hand held controller.
The safety video mentions that there are over 4,000 entertainment options available! Whilst I didn’t count them, I did notice that there were a decent number of movies and TV programmes to choose from. Disappointingly, there were no live streaming channels available but what I did like was that there were many episodes for each TV programme selected!
The headphones were comfortable and over-the-ear headphones. I prefer these as the buds always fall out! The quality was good and being noise-cancelling, they did a pretty good job in cancelling out the aircraft noise!
Qatar offers their Business and First Class passengers flexi-dining or as some call it, dine-on-demand. This means, you can choose the time you wish to eat! This is handy if you have just eaten a huge meal in the lounge! JK. But it is very useful as eating at certain times can help your body become used to the new daily meal pattern at your final destination (if there is a significant time difference) and this helps with limiting your jetlag!
The meal was excellent and I accompanies this with Laurent Perrier Rose Champagne! A premium champagne compared with their rival serving Moet or similar!
Qatar offers amenity boxes rather than amenity bags for flights flying into Doha. The box contains products by Distyque. The contents include, facial cream, body lotion, lip balm, fragrance, eye shades, ear plugs and socks!
On this flight they had also provided a protection kit containing hand sanitiser, gloves and face mask.
I found the bedding to be comfortable and I enjoyed a good rest.
The service overall was good but the cabin crew named Elina who originally greeted me on-board was also always checking up on me. Her attention to detail was immaculate and was so friendly and provided a superior level of service then most airline crew! As such, she helped lift the overall score for the overall service! I should add, I have always had excellent service on Qatar Airways business class flights!
If you haven’t tried QSuites, you really need to! You are really missing out! However, I must add, booking a QSuite over a standard business class seat will incur a small premium. The airline also reserves the right to change aircraft which may result in your seat being changed from a QSuite to a standard business class seat and the airline does not have to compensate you for this change. But what is positive is that Qatar are retro-fitting more of their aircrafts with QSuites and expanding the QSuite route.

best business class for sure
Great airline
stil a awsome design and lay out lovely crew good service
great video💯
Nice review. Also to add, for those staying in Doha there's fast track immigration and arrival snack area for Qatar Business Class passengers. When I arrived normal immigration lines were 30 minutes long but Business Class immigration was no line at all.
Oh wow! That’s cool! Thank you😀
❤Qatar airways the first time I got upgraded from economy to business in which I have flown with them.
Oh lucky you!!! Yes they are really good and so cool as they try to always think about the passenger experience and comfort! They are always introducing new designs! They have a few different business class products which are all very good and I will be showing these soon! 😀
Great review buddy as always 👍🏻 loving the air max 90ts 🤗 how would you compare it with Singapore airlines business class ? all the best mate 👍🏻
Hello! Firstly, apologies for the slightly delayed reply! Secondly, thank you for your kind words!
I like your questions and it made me think! So, after some thinking, here is my thoughts!
Crew - Singapore Airlines’ crew are one of the best in the world! Qatar’s crew are also good but sometimes a bit hit and miss! The flight you watched was amazing but the next leg was less comparable and I’ve seen this in other reviews also. SA’s crew are consistently some of the best crew!
F&B - I think SA also has the edge on food! I can’t speak for a meat eater but I bet they would probably agree. Previously I was Vegan, now Vegetarian and I have just come off a SA flight (although it isn’t quite fair to compare as this is on their First Class Suites on A380) but I do feel they have the slight edge. If you watch the next video which is QA QSuites on B777-300, you may agree for me, the champagne is better on QA - I do like a glass of LPR (Laurent Perrier Rose)
Hard Product - QA just edges this one! The SA seat is much wider! 25” on the newer 2017 seats and a massive 28” on their 2013 seats, compared with 21/21.5” in QSuites. However, with QSuites, you can close the door and with higher walls than nearly all other business class products out there, QSuites gives you more privacy! The bed is also straight compared with SA where you need to sleep at a slight angel (window seats).
The inflight entertainment is about the same. However, the screen size on QA is 21.5” vs 18/18.5” on SA. But this is neither here or there!
WIFI - SA wins this one! They offer complimentary WIFI to their passengers travelling in Suites, First, Business, as well as their PRS Club and Krisflyer members! QA offers only 1 hour to their privilege members! Full flight cost is cheaper on QA at $10 (or $8 if purchased in advance) vs SA at $15.99, but as mentioned, if you are in Business, it is complimentary for the full flight on SA, so SA wins this category!
The amenity kits - I think QA edges this category!
QA also hand out pyjamas on the longer flights! SA only offers these in First Class or Suites!
Overall, I think they are about equal but in different ways! So, it would boil down to what I intended to do during the flight, for example, sleep or stay awake! If I planned on sleeping for the majority of the flight, then QA would be my choice but if I planned on enjoying the entertainment and F&B I think it would have to be SA.
I would love to hear your views!
I loved this video, I am a miniature designer and I would like to make yours for this video, what do you think?
I am glad you loved the video! 😀Thank you for your offer, I'm not sure exactly what this means? But I am not really collaborating with anyone as this is a hobby and so I don't have any financial resources available. I hope you understand but thank you for your offer and continued support. Have a great day! 👼
