Qatar First Class - Best Seat in the House on the A380

Күн бұрын

Ever wondered what first class on the Qatar A380 is like? Join me and let’s find out together as I fly from Sydney Australian to Doha in First Class on Qatar Airways.
Qatar Airways have a well-founded reputation as offering the best business class in the sky. They even boast that their Q-Suite is First in Business.
So does Qatar Airways even need a First Class? And is Qatar First Class worth the extra cost considering Qatar Business Class is so good?
With these questions in mind I didn’t hesitate when given the chance to upgrade from Business to First when checking-in on a recent Qatar flight on the A380. Especially as this was a 14 hour flight - the perfect opportunity to really check out Qatar’s First Class and compare it to my recent flight on Air France La Premiere.
The other reason I wanted to try it is because Qatar only offers real first class on one aircraft type - the iconic double decker Airbus A380, the world’s biggest passenger aircraft. Qatar First Class is therefore not only exclusive but it is also elusive with only 10 A380s in their fleet.
Join me as I travel in the lap of luxury from Sydney to Doha in the Best Seat in the House - 1A.

The only thing more impressive than the first class experience is Dennis’ ability to put away such a variety and quantity of booze without falling over!

Thanks Dennis for taking us along on this First Class flight. It probably be the closest I will get to flying first class and it was delight to see the benefits awarded on this flight. I doubt I would pay the extra given the Business Class product is so good, but with unlimited funds I would love to give it a try. A fantastic video, thanks for sharing.

Flew Qatar 1st class Sydney to Barcelona a couple of years ago using Qantas points. Was a fantastic experience. In the 1st class lounge at Doha for 12 hours there is a private “hotel “ for long layovers. The customer care is unrivalled. Would love to fly with them again but QFF points availability is non-existent and we cannot afford a revenue flight 😢. Thanks for bringing back memories of that flight 😊.

Hi Dennis,love the review,gave us lovely memories of flying business class to Sydney from Doha on the A380 in 2019.to be honest,we thought the Qatar B/C was the bees knees,and flown it many times since. But would certainly like to try first class,just once will do,and with Qatar.👍

We love seeing your wonderful flight reviews - they're always great. We have been so fortunate to have travelled first class (Etihad) on an A380 long haul flight and agree if you can ever do it, you should. We are booked to do this again (Emirates) in March/April 2023 and can't wait. It is truly a once in a lifetime type of experience. And experiencing a shower on a flight is truly living in the clouds. Thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching that, Dennis. You’re absolutely correct, there remains a need and desire for First. I’m trying to book flights to Montreal for October, in First, and it’s not to be had unless I want to transfer through the USA (thanks, but no). I can only hope that it’ll become available as Lufthansa return some more A346 to routes. One small detail, as a Scot and lover of our National beverage… Glenmorangie is pronounced just as in the fruit ‘orange’ [Glenm’orange’ie] 😂 So good to being back to your regular videos, and I always look forward to that notification 👍🏻👍🏻😁

Dennis, the main reason Qatar switches to Air NZ or Marhaba lounges is mainly due to the opening hours of the Qantas lounge may not align up with the QR departure post Covid; although relationship between QF and QR doesn’t seem going well as you mentioned.

Great video (as usual) Hope we can have the opportunity to do the same next time we fly Doha-Bangkok. This year we opted out of Qatar on our move from Sweden to Thailand in favor of Thai airway (the first time in over ten years) Stupid choice that we regretted a lot. Next longer trip we will come back to Qatar airway which is our first choice They have always been a pleasure to travel with them both privately and on business trips.

Hi Dennis, thanks for another excellent review , especially after the hiatus of the past two years. Regrettably, Qatar only flies the B 777 from Melbourne to Doha, so no bar visits scheduled for May, but first class is on the cards for a future planned Cairo trip via Doha in September.

I booked a Qatar airways flight from London to the Maldives on the A380 in 1st class so I could have this exact same experience. We even had to fly from the US to catch plane for the itinerary. Then we got there and there had been an equipment change to a 777 without 1st class. I was SOOOOOO disappointed. The Q-Suites were very nice but I really wanted that bucket list experience to fly 1st class in the a380

That bar area on their A380's is as good as it gets & the best reason NOT to pay extra for first-class - after all - it's a shared area. It really is all downhill after experiencing their A380's in business/first-class.
