Many of my friends know that I am a nervous flyer despite being a frequent flyer. However, unlike the thousand other times I have traveled, I decided to travel in Business Class this last trip. I have always wanted to travel business class but never felt that it was an option because the prices were always so high. However, after much searching around and deciding this would be my last trip overseas for at least 6 months, I decided to purchase a business class ticket with Qatar Airways.
Qatar Airways offers the best economy class product I have ever experienced. I have flown with QA at least 6 times last year. I have never been disappointed with their economy class product. The food was always good, flight attendants polite and movie selection good. Knowing this, I decided to fork over a large sum of money to fly their award winning business class product.
Upon entering the flight, I was greeted by the head flight attendant and offered my amenity kit along with a glass of Champagne.
The kit included lots of goodies such as lotion, socks, chapstick and so on. I found the kit itself to be quite sturdy.
The menu for the flight was quite extensive. I really enjoyed the meal on demand option that Qatar Airways offers to all of its premium cabin guests.
I started my three-course meal with an Arabic Mezze. It was delicious and quite filling. I could not finish the whole mezze.
The next course was steak and mashed potatoes with a sweet basil sauce.
The cake was delicious.
The whole meal service took about a whole hour. I tried to enjoy the meal at my own pace but the flight attendant kept on taking my food away before I could finish it.
After eating, I decided to go to sleep and I ended up sleeping for a total of 8 hours.
I woke up an hour before landing and decided to eat breakfast.
The yogurt was good but I found the sauce to be a little too bitter for my liking.
I found the french toast delicious.
After eating breakfast, we started to prepare for our descent into Doha.
The plane landing was smooth and after taxiing for about 20 minutes we have arrived at our stop. Due to the lack of gates available we were transferred via bus to the terminal.
