Β 

On the Ground:
Transiting in Doha is easy and convenient.
We had 11hours and 50minutes between both flights. Qatar Airways has an accommodation counter in the transit area. Depending on your ticket and fare you may get a hotel with a longer transit time.
We were lucky and entitled to get a hotel. About 1hour after landing we were already sleeping in the hotel bed. We had a swim at the pool and a snack before heading back to the airport.


The business class terminal is amazing. You have special counters for emigration and security check. Both were empty and we were able to clear it very fast.


Everywhere at the Airport you have free high speed WiFi.

Β 

We went to the Al Mourjan Business Lounge for a short drink.
The Lounge is gigantic and really nice. There are different sitting areas, bars, restaurants, game rooms, etc etc. We had a Mojito at the Lounge before we went to the gate.

Β 

We went to the gate for boarding on the indicated time and boarding started about 2-3 minutes later. Priority boarding was conducted.

The crew was very welcoming and super present in the cabin during boarding.

The seats were already equipped with amenity kits, headsets and water bottles. Welcome drinks as well as newspapers and cold or hot towels were distributed

Β 

Inflight:
The cabin crew was much more attentive again on this flight. They were welcoming and had great interactions with the passengers.

I ordered an Apple Cooler drink as after take off drink which was accompanied with warm nuts.

The food was not airline style but high quality restaurant again.

Β 

This flight was definitely 5Star again.


I would definitely recommend Qatar Airways for future travels.
