Please share the video to create awareness and help the crew to get their jobs back! Head over to instagram.com/qatarairways/ and make our voices heard - use #UnbanJoshCahill - Thanks a lot! UPDATE: Thanks for all the comments on their Social Media Sites but as expected they are deleting and censoring all - I wonder why...

To Qatar Airways: Honestly Josh's bad review would not prohibit me from flying with you guys - after all, it's just two flights and may not be representative of all of your flights. There are also times that I disagree with flight reviewers and have had better experiences than what they commented. However, paying for the video to be removed, banning reviewer for unfavourable review and dismissing the crew would make me decide against flying with Qatar Airways as I don't want my air fares to be supporting such disgraceful acts.

Qatar Airways don't seem to understand that their actions have given them far more bad publicity than the original video did. If they'd just apologised for the poor flight experience this would have all been forgotten by now.

I and my family used to travel at least twice a year from the UK to India on Qatar Airways but have stopped since early 2021 when their level of services declined. I have been a loyal customer since 1998 and have been an ardent fan of the airline. This experience portrayed in this video by Josh further enhances my feelings for this airline. Won't be flying with them ever again.

Josh wasn’t the first one to have this experience with Qatar. Josh probably was the first one to have the integrity and the clout to not only resist being bullied, but take steps to enlighten others. We all remember stories of over 1000 workers who got worked to death for FIFA World Cup. Most people didn’t care. @josh, Thank you for caring and resisting corruption.

Hi Josh, I worked my self for Qatar airways for more than 12 years at a managerial level so I know a lot about what is going on “behind the scene”. What you have reported about dismissing people, is just an example of how Qatar Airways appreciates (or actually doesn’t appreciate) the work of its employees. What they have achieved all these years is built on the hard work of expats. But for them expats are just a workforce without dignity. I do not want to get into cultural issues, but honestly, the way they treat people is manifested in their culture. Whenever they are confronted with a situation that they cannot resolve the way they want, they just dismiss people. I am happy that at the end of the day Akbar Al Baker got a taste of his own bitter medicine.

Josh More power to you. Dont get bullied by these corporates

Dear Josh, I am completely shocked about that. I have never heard something about this. But for myself: I was fliying since 2002 Qatar Airways and made about 16 trips with them up to 2016 in Economy and Business Class. I was always very happy with them. But then, my wife and I decided not flying anymore with them because of all negative reportings about the FIFA World Cup 2022. Also I was not agreed with AB to dispute on court with Airbus. I did not want to fly also with an airline which release so many untruth and brings so much turbulence into aviation. A country which thinks that they stand over everything with human rights etc. Your video showed me how they act with their crew and kicked them out of the company. That is not acceptable, but maybe a chance for them to switch to an airline which accepts human rights and does not put them under pressure like they hav done it right now. For all my personal friends I will show this story and then they can decide by their own if they fly them again. The main problem is that they don't accept our way of live, but on the other side we have to agree with their kind of living. Anyway thanks very much for your release (including your right of the freedom of speach in a free country where you live) and I guess you can live with the fact that your video is no longer visible for the 3 mio. Qataris...

I flew with Qatar four times in 2022 (2 economy, 1 business and 1 first class)and I had negative experience in 3 out of the four flights. You’re right about the crew being exhausted, unhappy and probably underpaid that I heard them nagging about special meals on a long haul flight. My first class experience was worse than one of my economy class experiences, the flight attendant in my first class trip gave me a wrong immigration card before landing in Cairo and assured me that it was the right one when I doubted it was for me after reading the title which caused me significant delay after it was refused by the immigration officer who gave me another form and asked me to fill it and get in the line again! On my business class flight, The Q suite cabin was not clean with some food debris and hair from a previous passenger and they served me dairy containing bread for my vegan meal!

Best line from the video “I am not Sam Chui” 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done Josh, we need more ppl like you keeping airlines honest! Thank you ✌🏻

We fully stand behind you Josh. Keep doing your thing!

This video was my first time seeing your videos. Went to the Qatar review video and gave it a watch. The review was honest. I don’t understand why they banned you. I appreciate your honest review. Wishing you the best!!!!!

That's really awful experience, Josh. I came across to your channel (and subscribed) as I also had a horrible experience last year and decided not to fly with this carrier ever again. I am glad you didn't surrender to their pressure. Keep up the good work and Stay safe.

*I used to work at QR Airways as a Staff Member, But i left for Obvious Reasons* *The Management is horrific, and they treat you like sh** . *They didn't give us Adequate food, we work long hours continuously and if any of the staff employees had a sickness/headache/stomach ache, they'd threaten to fire us if we don't continue working with the ailment ( and in several cases they actually did fire people. I would see them crying and it would break my heart* ). *Moreover, the Qatari Arabs are extremely Racist towards South Asians, it's Sickening. Plz Highlight this and help us* 🙏

If an Airline can not take constructive criticism to improve, there must be something really wrong behind the scenes. Thanks Josh for your work. Greetings/Grüße from Vienna.

My latest journey using Qatar turned into a real disaster, and I can affirm that their level has taken a nosedive. Appreciate you voicing your concerns.

I love you Josh. Thank you for voicing out the things we aren’t able to speak. It just feels good that I am no longer part of the company and it feels like a blessing. Thank you

I am honestly disgusted by how the airline deals with criticism and the consequences of having an honest review of their experience! Doesn't Qatar Airways realize that they have just made this entire problem worse?? They could have just apologized and it would have been okay. Thank you Josh for covering this story and for continuing to do your job!

We have an expression in the USA - “Turning a misdemeanor into a felony”. Qatar did precisely this. They could have apologized, cleaned up their act, ignored the video…done a bunch of things… but they decided to go nuclear. And what has it gotten them? This is what happens when petty autocrats get power. They don’t look at criticism as an opportunity for reflection and improvement, but as an attack on their hubris and respond accordingly. I’ve always said, the biggest predictor of someone’s (be it a person, company or country) eventual downfall is their level of hubris.

I’m a commercial pilot , I talk to Qatar Airline employees often. Pilots are dead tied - dangerous. Cabin crew are in a hell like job . They complain about late pay and benefits. I sum this up as a dangerous airline when crews are not rested and not treated properly. One nasty airline- NEVER FLY WITH THEM !!! We call them “the Qatar labour camp”. Dangerous airline IMHO. I’ve seen some approaches below minimums and wondering on the ILS / dangerous.

“I’m not Sam Chhui…” Honestly I was thinking of him when you mentioned the bribe with PR flights 😂

Can’t believe that a large airline like Qatar airways can be this childish when it comes to constructive criticism!!

Dear Qatar airways, I am a business class passenger and was about to book flights with you again but after watching this video I will not be flying with you again until you make this right. The best companies in the world accept when they have done things wrong and move forward to make it better, this is what you should be doing instead of taking the path you have. Well done for exposing this Josh and keep us all informed.

Please continue with what you are doing, don’t let this stop you being an airline critic, it’s the only way to raise awareness to passengers and inform the CEO’s the state of their airlines. Thank you for standing your ground and not taking any “bribes.”

I got 2 friends that used to work in Qatar Airways. One as a flight attendant and the other in a customer support department. Both say that it’s absolutely terrible place to work and never ever recommend anyone to apply to work there.

Hey Josh, I own and operate a travel management business specializing in the entertainment sector, particularly Hollywood. Committed to our clients' values and well-being, we've decided to cease all bookings with Qatar Airways. Our goal is to align our business practices with companies that share our principles, ensuring our substantial financial contributions support organizations with values we endorse. Thank you for shedding light on this issue, and keep up the great work.

Please take this advice seriously. Avoid putting yourself within the jurisdiction of Qatar in every way possible. Don't go into their territory, or transit over their airports. They are a very vindictive lot, and can cause you ACTUAL harm. The system there is parasitic, and there is no accountability. Stay safe.

Honest review @Josh good that you brought into public . Nice work keep it up be what you’re ❤❤.

I had the most miserable experience with Qatar Airways at LHR T4. After much chaos we were declared “No shows” and we could not rebook our seats

I've been flying Qatar 5 to 10 times every year since 2013, and have always enjoyed superb service. I had no idea until recently that I started hearing many credible stories about the abusive conditions many workers face. This video is the final nail in the coffin, and Qatar will no longer have me as a customer.

I'm a gold member with Qatar, I have been flying with them for over 15 years and its been great, but it ends now, and I am quite literally disgusted by the way they have responded to your helpful and professional criticism. Until i hear that they have released a full apology and reinstated or payed out full compensation to the crew I will be flying with Emirate's, So QA you can say goodbye to at least 20K a year from me, and i hope many more follow suit until you man up and do what's right.....

Congratulations, for being honest, you are one of the few who doesn't sell themselves, and that's why you're the only one I follow on the subject.

Awesome video! Thanks for your excellent work!!!

As a European who works a fair bit in Asia, I have flown Qatar Airways many times. I agree with many that their service has been starting to lack recently. And when I then see how they try to use bullying methods to stop bad reviews, while they also treat their employees like dirt, then I'm happy that it's pretty easy to switch over to Emirates, who still delivers a really good product and has leadership that deserves respect, unlike Qatar Airways.

Josh, I think you missed mentioning, that the whole point of flight reviews is to help airlines improve their product. How else would an airline know that the product they offer is one of the "best in the world" if everyone only present the good to the company? Perhaps Qatar Airways want to wait until the ratings and public perception of the airline diverged so much, that ridership plummets. Even then, the airline would struggle to figure out what went wrong because they would have destroyed the critical, honest feedback that they need to improve.

Congrats! I got banned by Spirit Airlines because I asked what accommodations would be provided to passengers after a flight was delayed 5 hours (and it was then almost 1 a.m. and didn't look as tho the flight would leave until sunrise).

Excellent vid Josh, excellent work as always. Extremely eye-opening, although in the case of Qatar it's more another confirmation than a surprise........

Interesting Josh. I’ll send copy to the Australian Minister for Transport who caused a political storm here when she refused to allow QATAR to increase its flights to Australia. She said it was because of QATARs culture and it’s assault of women in Qatar a few years ago. I think you’ve proved her right.

Qatar is the airline that held women hostage and even took them off their flights to force them to have intimate examinations because an infant had been found in a rubbish bin at the airport. I'm willing to bet it was no traveler who did this but a desperate local girl who had to hide an unwanted pregnancy for fear of the severe punishment if she was caught. But they made all these women on planes and in the airport submit to these humiliating examinations. I'd never fly with them or want to visit their country.

Qatar Airways’ behavior is disgraceful, pathetic and shameful. It is not fair that those innocent cabin crew members got fired.

That is horrible customer service. Qatar Airways appears to forget customer is always right.

This makes you wonder how many other aviation KZfaqrs/influencers have pulled content based on threats and bribes. Thank you for standing for the truth.

Wow. I’m going overseas from Australia next year and was considering flying Qatar. That will now not be happening. Qatar sound like a dictatorship. Disgraceful, nasty behaviour. Shame on Qatar Airways. On what planet does an entire country geoblock a video reviewing an airline because they don’t like the review? That’s a dictatorship right there. How precious. Well done Josh for not budging on your principles and for fighting for those poor overworked (and now fired!) staff. Oh and Qatar - the whole world is watching 👎🏼

Your channel is so much more honest

I am an African employee and I experience the worst form of hate you can ever imagine when it comes to doing my work. Reporting to management doesn’t help because I stand a risk of losing my job if I decide to raise a complaint on the treatment that I get. There’s been previous crew who got fired for trying to ask for help concerning the racism. I thought I was the problem until I started interviewing the African people who work as crew, it cannot be a coincidence that all Africans are complaining about the same issue with regards to treatment. The Supervisors on board lack support to crew and are only there to serve as hawks for the company putting unnecessary pressure on crew, and they are ready to get crew into trouble. Next time if you see an African crew on board please be kind, Africans are going through a lot in this company and no matter how cautious we try to be at the job we still get the short end of the stick. Part of the work nature is to hate Africans. Please be kind when you see an African on Qatar airways, emotionally we are in pain we have no choice but to stay because have families to take care of.

Hi, Im a retired Lufthansa employee and Ive seen in 41yrs of employment much in Relation with customers. Well known in the 80s Airlines coming from this Region traditionally treated their Crews Like possession . Apparently this attitude has increased again after the austerity measures. According to my information, you were never a free person if you hired there. In our world of free or censored media, such inhumane treatments simply spread faster. Thanks Josh for not giving in and publishing this. It's just revealing for this airline to ban you instead of entering into dialogue.

Thank you for your public service Josh! Qatar airlines banned you, now I’ve banned Qatar airlines. I will never fly with Qatar airlines personally, and I will not allow any of my team members to fly with Qatar airlines on any business and company related trips. Qatar airlines will be blacklisted for their unethical practices, they will never earn a dollar from me or my company anymore.

Yes last year in May travel to Australia, I was charged £85 for extra luggage(assuming you can check two within the weight allowed on check in) But no, only one suitcase was allowed. Then on board to the flight, you saw a lot of flight attendants heading towards the plane, and as the flight progressed, not much snacks being served or refreshments being offered. Yes, and the toilets was dirty. First and the last, never ever again.

This story confirms my observations re: Qatar Airways where I recently experienced poor QR flights and selected food choices repeatedly ran out. It also adds fuel to another horror incident involving Qatar Airways where 5 Australian female passengers were forced to disembark a flight bound for Sydney by armed staff and subject to humiliating invasive strip search incl. gynaecological examinations which subsequently was a reason additional Qatar Airways flights were blocked by the Australia Govt.

Lol “I’m not Sam Chui.” Love you Josh!

I am a Female Crew Member from South Asia. A Very Senior Qtr Airways Official Made Me take Off My Clothes in his Office and He Did Bad Things 😭 When i said i will go to the Police he Locked me in a Room for 3 Days Without Food and Just Gave Water 😭 I Want Justice, Please Please Help Josh ... I Am Depressed and My Parents are Also Troubled ..

I travelled from Manchester to Bangkok on a BA flight which was code shared to Qatar. As I am disabled I was wheelchaired to the aircraft door. At Doha the connecting flight was delayed for over twelve hours overnight. I was just pushed in a wheelchair to the waiting area near to the next gate and literally left in the wheelchair for over twelve hours with no assistance. I have since claimed and received compensation. The whole route Manchester to Bangkok was code shared to Qatar airlines. So much for BA and Qatar passenger care,

Thank you for your video. Really good one. The best one.

I remember Al Baker being quoted several years ago "Economy passengers don't notice when you reduce the legroom" which made me think that I would never choose Qatar. Lo and behold, earlier this year we had a two-leg flight with BA which code-shared with Qatar via Doha. On the return, they brought the flight time forward by an hour, then had a delayed takeoff making us 45 minutes late into Doha, leaving only 30 minutes to make the connection to the BA flight. On arrival in the UK, my luggage, along with about 40 others', was missing. It took two weeks for it to be returned, having been in Doha the entire time (gosh, who would have guessed) and my case was damaged beyond use. Am I likely to fly with Qatar again....?

I actually was going to be flying Qatar in the New Year. But in support of the staff of that airline, I shall pay more and use a different carrier.

My recent interactions with Qatar Airlines pretty much confirmed your observations. Definitely make me think twice using them for future travels.

Racism towards south Asians is real in middle eastern countries(specially in Qatar). I have faced it many times.. I was once travelling there, I have tatto of "Om" (symbol of Hindus) on my wrist.. one passenger on the flight kicked me and not even apologized(I thought it mistakenly happened). but, he whispered to his friend calling me P.a.j.e.e.t and DUNG worshi..er & they both laughed.. But, I controlled myself at that time. & never went in those countries till this day. I have self respect about my culture and religion as well.. I know all peoples are not like that but it was Bad experience...!!

Disappointed by Qatar Airways management. Their failure in handling A320 and A321 orders, leading to cancellations by Airbus, is just as unprofessional as using older planes and less skilled crews for routes to countries like India. Equally concerning is their decision to ban Josh which seems more like a petty act of revenge than a sustainable business decision. This series of missteps reflects a serious lack in professionalism.

What an unfortunate experience Josh, you are brave for posting this. I’ve just cancelled my flights x 4 from London - Doha - Bali and rebooked on another airline.

Good for you for calling out this corrupt airline, Josh!!! What an ignorant company! Do they not realize how much WORSE they are making themselves look by responding to a customer review in this way--with attempted bribery, banning a paying customer/reviewer from the airline, and then firing their own crew members??? Everyone should watch this as an example of what NOT to do and how NOT to treat paying customers. I will never fly on this airline.

I respect your integrity very much Josh, and this makes your channel such a worthwhile one to view. Thank you.

It’s disgusting to see how these British expats act a certain way when working for multinationals based in the UK and then when they are hired by massive companies based in countries with lack of freedom of speech, they completely switch and became one of them. I’m sure the family of that British executive would be ashamed of his behaviour. Congrats for the courage Josh, I agree with you, Sam Chui always seems so positive in most of his videos, all those airlines have flaws, they are not perfect. Thanks for the video Josh, I’ll avoid flying Qatar Airways from now on.

Wow. To the management of Qatar Airways - I hope you're monitoring this. I fly first class several times each year. I'm also a business owner, and employ a significant number of people. If I treated my staff like this, I would not deserve or expect any success. If I treated my customers like this, I would expect to be out of business. Although I'm not a particularly influential man, I will be absolutely certain to share this video, as well as the one you tried to have removed, to as many people as I can. Earlier this year I considered flying with you. That will not be happening now. When you make a mistake in business, the best thing you can do is to admit it and fix it. I hope that for the sake of your hard working staff, not to mention your customers, that you consider doing what you need to do to make this right. Own it. Apologise. Fix it. Regards, An almost customer.....

What else can you expect from an airline named Qatar Airways, the flagship airline of a Country that openly shelters and hosts Hamas terrorist leaders? From the disgraceful way that they treat their employees to their own bullying behavior, of course they’re going to be criticised, but then, respect for the truth isn’t particularly important to them or their cultural beliefs either, when it comes down to being questioned about their own integrity and questionable business practices……They can only have themselves to blame if they receive a bad review, after all, what is it they say about ‘Not shooting the messenger’!

This is why I love aviation and the passion for it. Every vlogger should stand up for the truth not just Josh. My heart goes out to the crew that were coerced into submission by the airline itself and eventually terminated. No one deserves that. Period! Seriously 😢. Well said Josh - "the only decent redemption would be to reinstate thier job's and show a positive change by first acknowledging the mistakes done by the airline. I'm sure most vloggers are supportive of the change we wish to see.

Corporate bullies hate nothing more than someone like you who is honest and moral , they are terrified cause you cant be bribed and you wont be silenced. Great work man continue to do what you do and putting out great content week after week. I was going to fly business from Australia to UK with Qatar, now ill be flying another carrier.

"I don't need free flights, I am not sam chui" - That was Bang on!

Well done Josh I watch all your videos it's awesome to know there is honesty and integrity in this world.

Thanks for sharing that brother, you have my support. If you’re ever in Singapore, say hi.

I like the shade "I am not sam chui" :)). Great work keep it up!

Few have the balls to shed light on corporate greed. Thank you Josh for making us an informed consumer.

Thanks for your honesty& BRAVO! I was considering flying from Amsterdam to Phuket in December but after discovering how brutal the Airline is in firing the crew members who allow you permission to review your flight, I changed my mind. SHAME to Qatar Airways

A lady from my country worked for Qatar airways, as cabin crew…. After two years she left, damaged, demoralized and totally traumatized😢. Sad sad !

Josh, you've been thrown into the world of investigative journalism and you're doing a great job. Keep it up.

My husband and I were really looking forward to trying out the Qatar Qsuites next summer for our holiday but after seeing this, we would never give them our money. Freedom of speech is so very important and we would never support an airline that bullies someone for their honest review and allows a hostile work environment for their staff.

Thank you for standing your ground! I am not surprised that their first question was about your motives behind your review. It is because they have tons of people lead their social media to attack anyone they do not like and they think they can buy anyone on social media to join their forces.

sounds like a slimy airline that i'll avoid - thank you for the honest and transparent review!

"I'm not Sam Chui" oh the shade! 😂 I value your honesty Josh and not taking the PR flight offer. Its why I watch your content.

It seems that Qatar actually believe that calling themselves “the best airline in the world “ makes it so. For anyone that flys Qatar with relative frequency, the decline in the Qatar experience is impossible to ignore. I think this video will be the catalyst for them to either seriously improve their quality of service and staff treatment, or else allow themselves to further decline into a 3rd tier airline.

It is a shame that most CEO’s and executives find little use for humanity as long as they get their bonus they will do just about anything making sure that they step on anyone they need too. It’s a shame really that most are like this. It’s not a surprise that they did this to the staff but that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.

I appreciate your honest work.

My family and I flew to Thailand from ORD in September on Qsuite. I found a used tissue paper on my seat. The lady who was sitting next to me didn’t have her amenity kits she had to ask for it. One of the flight attendants seemed unfriendly and kind of rude. My husband had to ask her if she was okay. I even emailed them about it. They responded but I don’t think they care. We may fly other airlines in the future.

Unbelievable!! I cannot believe a major airline would resort to these kinds of tactics in the year 2023?? I fly very frequently and have used Qatar airlines many times. I will no longer be flying Qatar. There are much better alternative airlines who do not treat their people and paying customers like dogs. #unbanJoshCahill

I was planning to book on Qatar Airways Business but after watching your review I switched to Emirate Airline

Good on you for standing your ground

As someone who flew Qatar in July, I thank you for sharing this and the previous video. An absolutely shocking decline in quality from flying them in 2019, and their reaction to you was exactly the reaction to me when I complained.

If this was my company, I would like to understand how we could improve and apologize for the poor experience. I would then develop an improvement plan to address these concerns. The management team obviously lack experience in running a large business, this is evident by the way they treat their employees. Any good management team would recognize that their employees are their biggest assets. Great reporting Josh.

All in favor of a boycott against Qatar Airways, raise your hands

Thanks Josh. Subscribing for your channel now.

This is an awful case of censorship. Keep up your great work! You’re doing a great job and I love your channel.

As a cabin crew I could only say that my heart breaks for my colleagues in Doha who lost their jobs over the review 💔 At the end of the day they didn't do anything horrible, they were just unmotivated and exhausted. Non-flyers will not understand the level of fatigue flight attendants could reach when they are overworked. It's not a crime to be tired or skip toilet checks after every customer, at the end of the day we are all just human. I hope they will find their better place to work at ✈️ ❤

Thanks Josh, thanks for posting. I've just cancelled my 22 flights booked with Qatar this year and rebooked with Ryanair. Thanks again.

I am a long standing (23 years) member of the most prominent Pilots Forum. No discussion of Qatar is permitted. Someone is running scared !!

Hi Josh I am not surprised with what has happened to you and Qatar Airways My wife and I had an incident over the meal service in December 2022, we were not fed as they had run out of meals When I asked where are our meals, the cabin manager said that they have a full flight and have run out, REALLY!!! I gave them a suggestion like anything left in business class, anything, we are on a flight to Melbourne from Doha and we need to eat They offered us pretzels and coke, UNREAL!!! They then said being that you are in the last row on our next service (breakfast) you will be served first, I then said can you please warm up our breakfast and we will eat that now We were refused, not much we could do as we did not want to make a scene, Oh! btw we did not accept the pretzels we had nothing When we got home I wrote an email to their customer service about the incident and waited over 3 months for a response, they just send us a generic response which would of been a cut & paste message, we are flying again next year and we both refuse to travel Qatar with the experience all stated above During your video, what stuck in my mind was, you are not Sam Chui and do not get bribed, BRAVO, that is one reason I do not subscribe to him, Also I sent an #unband Josh Cahill to Qatar in instagram, and I have also shared your video to most of my drivers here at work over (120) of them who travel regularly Josh keep up the good work, and do not let these giants bring you down

I didn’t care about the bad review, and I would’ve continued to fly with Qatar because, honestly, I don’t care what ‘Josh Cahill’ says or thinks about Qatar’s service in the air-but bribing and banning him? That takes it to another level. My six flights to and fro a year from Europe-India will be with another airline.

I’d be very scared to fly with them again. I flew with them before and I’m scared now. Will they make lists of all the commenters here? NEVER will I fly with them EVER again and you shouldn’t either. They have your life in their hands once you’re on their plane.

Incredibly brave, mate. I flew for the first time from Dublin - Doha - Dhaka and back in the summer of 22 and it was underwhelming and frankly, logistically a less. From delayed flights at Dublin forcing me to miss my connecting flight by 2 minutes at 1am local time. Literally sprinted across the airport for that. To trying to reschedule for the next flight in the morning (or ideally) afternoon/evening and that taking over 2 hours, before their taxi took me to the wrong hotel at 3am. The on on arrival, no where to park the plane. This latter one is more a Dhaka thing I concede. But you can imagine my humour over the 24 hours culminating in Dhaka traffic for 2 hours nearly for a 15 min trip at a quieter hour. The food was mid. The plane to Dhaka was old as hell. But I will say the staff were nice, in particular the stewardess I got talking to on the ground at Dhaka facing me for an hour. Good friends since. But yeah, Emirates was tenfold better experience the dozen times I made that journey or any other with them.

Dude ! Middle East and freedom of speech??!!! As a person who grew up in Middle East, unfortunately I have to say that you can’t find it anywhere in Middle East.

"I have a few friends working as flight attendants in Qatar, Emirates, and Etihad. Based on their experiences, I've concluded that every Middle Eastern airline has similarly challenging relationships with cabin crew staff, with subtle differences. However, Qatar's actions are beyond any comment - simply disgusting. My advice is to stay away from Middle Eastern airlines, no matter how fancy or great their product may seem."

Josh exactly what did you expect?You said crew were bad,the toilets were dirty.From this point of view the crew were not doing what they were paid to do
