The flight duration to Qatar is influenced by the wind direction. Headwinds can extend the flight time, while tailwinds can shorten it.

I flew on QR-921 from AKL-DOH and QR-610 and it was the best experience of my life the economy class food tasted like first class and INSHALLAH I will fly with Qatar airways again!😊

My daughter works for Qatar Airways as a cabin crew member and she recently worked on this flight.

The return flight is longer due to the wind direction, heading to auckland you are going with the wind making it quicker but heading back to Doha, you are going against the winds which makes the flight time slower.

The return flight is longer because the crew has been eating a lot during the 2-day layover, causing the plane to weight more and fly slower

What a marvellous video, thanks for letting us have a glimpse of this exciting yet responsible life of Pilots.

*The flight from Doha benefits from tailwinds. The return from Auckland faces headwinds slowing it down. Also, the flight paths for both flights may influence the flight duration.*

I have the privilege of flying economy with Qatar Airways at the end of august, I absolutely cannot wait. 😎

"There and back again"!

Best airline ever. Loved flying business class to the Maldives from Houston. They treat you like royalty. I also love the nod to The Hobbit at 0:28 ❤

The flight time changes as the head wind and the tail wind play a major role in determining the speed of the aircraft

Love this airline, country and airport

I flew this both legs in December 23 and January 24 . Great service and experience even in Economy

Love you From Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️🇧🇭

It is the wind and a upper atmosphere affect that is called jet streams

Absolutely love Qatar Airways 🇶🇦 Love using them for our channels travels 🥰 Top class service and food always

I've flown on QR921 to Doha and then onto London during Covid 2020, 777-200. As much as I like flying, that was brutal!

I am a new subscriber, greeting from Algeria. I travel to China two times with Qatar Airways business class. Thank you for your comfortable trip and excellent service.

I always flew on Qatar Airways it is very professional from check-in counter to destination airport out... ❤

As it spins clockwise your moveing with the planet,and as you back your moveing against it.its like swimming upstream

There and back again!! Bilbo Baggins!

the tailwind makes them faster going to nz, because the wind comes from east to west. and the headwind makes them slower

The return flight is longer than the first one because of the wind direction. So on the return flight they'd be facing a lot of headwinds

The duration of the flight to Qatar is heavily influenced by the wind direction. Headwinds that slow the aircraft down by forcing it from the front can extend the flight time, while tailwinds forcing it from the rear of the aircraft, like the aircraft is flying on a river stream of wind, can speed it up.

Having recently flown Qatar 23 hours out from the U.S. to Asia and then 24 hours back -- fortunately in business class -- I know this is a spectacular airline. And yes, Doha is incredibly beautiful from the air. I hope someday to see the city at ground level too.

I have taken this flight several times over the past few years, but have not made it in the new Airbus jet. I’m sure it is an upgrade from the Boeing 777 extended range which was getting very long in the tooth. The service on board, however, was always first rate.

I’m about to fly Auckland to Doha in 2 months. Can’t wait

The flight duration towards Doha is longer as Headwinds are the predominant wind, resulting in a lower GS. I captain a 380 flight between the UAE and AKL, man, it's a long one.

What a great video! We need more

The globe is turning.the return journey is just the opposite of turning.

thank you for being such an important part of my learning journey! ️

Qatar, minha PRECIOSA 💎🥂👏🏻🇧🇷

The return is longer because the winds from the WEST go from WEST TO EAST and then from Auckland you are going from east to west so you will have a headwind

Im from Auckland and hoping to go on this flight with a return trip

There should also be an insight into what the cabin crew does on such long flights. Sometimes we don’t even sit or sip water once during ULH flights

The inernet says that qatar Airways is best. I'd rather be in qatar Airways than Pegasus. The boarding music is great! The safety video is funny! I have been in qatar Airways in 2023 June/July. My guest is a flight attendant. I like to experience qatar Airways again! I like Arabic rice, but i can't go back to qatar. So I wanted to go to qatar I think my dad is gonna use qatar Airways. I really love qatar, So if you wanna try qatar Airways Like cornice and Festival. Go to qatar Airways! Love qatar from bosnia.

The flight time to Qatar is influenced by Jet streams and they are fast flowing, narrow air currents found in the atmospheres of some planets, including Earth. They are primarily found in the upper levels of the atmosphere and flow from west to east.

Not only for this airline, but winds are headed from west towards east, that is why the flights against wind takes longer.

Enjoyed the flight ❤

If you fly one way over the curve it’s longer , flying back it’s flat ,it’s shorter !

I flew on the a350-1000

I flew with Qatar Airways I'm telling you had th best experience 😊

Headwinds and tailwinds impact a flight's duration. In the sky, there are winds and their directions, and aircraft have a limit as to how fast the air relative to the wings move. In a headwind, the speed of air, or airspeed, is greater than a tailwind, which blows in the opposite direction (same direction the aircraft is going) assuming the ground speed (the speed of the ground relative to the aircraft) stays the same. Airplanes want to maintain a certain airspeed when flying, and unless the wind direction doesn't change, the ground speed must change so the airspeed changes accordingly. The return flight from Auckland will have to fly with a headwind, and then the ground speed must decrease. Now it will take the aircraft longer to fly this distance. Aviation is very interesting ❤😃!

I have flown from/to Doha and Auckland many times and it’s long but smooth flight. Only thing I hate about is Doha Airport, it’s small and don’t have gates so planes are parked in tarmac

QATAR 🇶🇦💕

Westbound flights are longer because of the jet streams that head eastbound! So the eastbound flights get a boost.

Maybe it's because of the earth rotation which can be parallel to the flight traveling direction

The wind direction changes so the aircraft has more headwind on the way back

I think the return is longer cause the north wind is stronger? Something to do with winds.

Because there can be weather conditions checking the aircraft for damages and tickets?

I flew on that flight in March this year Auckland to Doha, grueling but Qatar are a good arline so it wasn't too bad, I noticed that for most of the journey the window blinds were down! Odd!

Excellent video. Very interesting and informative.

Whos also here from tiktok because they were curious and interested 😂😂

the wonderful magic of jet steams!!

outbound is longer than inboud due to the wind flowing from west to east qatar to new zealand and plane is flying opposite wind

✈️ EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with @QatarAirways Traveled from KWI-DOH-CAI on June 2nd and Qatar Airways lost my checked bag. It's been over 4 weeks and no resolution. They gave me a claim number but no follow up. I've emailed and called repeatedly with no real updates or help finding my bag. It's embarrassing to have to beg an airline for basic customer service after they misplaced my property. Not to mention the financial costs to replace everything that was in the bag. As one of the top airlines in the world, I expected better than empty promises and run around. At this point I just want my belongings back or fair compensation. But the lack of concern or accountability shown is unacceptable. Other travelers BEWARE - if your bag goes missing with Qatar, don't expect it to be priority. Learn from my expensive mistake and avoid this airline if you value your bags arriving intact!

I love QatarAirways

Its longer on the way back because of the winds caused by the jet stream by the way i would really like to be a pilot for qatar airways

people that know this is a reupload. please just reply to this

Jet stream is the answer why the eastbound flight is faster than the westbound flight😎

It’s because of the head winds, on the way back

Return flight benefited the equatorial easterly jet streams?

The return flight is always longer the the outbound flight due to the prevailing head winds.

Because while returning the air against the direction of travel. There is air resistance

Is the difference in flight time due to the earth's rotation causing wind patterns to move from the west to east? I'm not sure, but this is even noticeable in a 3-4 hour flight, that it is always a bit quicker going east. Such a great video. If the wind is in the right direction, sometimes this exact flight flies directly over my house in Auckland on its way to Doha. Now I know more about it.

Jetstreams of wind causes GS higher given same TAS depending on wind direction?...

The earths rotation causes the difference in flight duration

The wind and rotation of the earth.

Basically due to Earth's rotation or the effect of Coriolis effect. Aircrafts travel faster from west to east

It's a very tuff, Stranious, and painful profession. No one will understand until they join this profession.😊

Tailwind component going, headwind component coming.

They check every RA Callout?! Crazy..

Deve ser uma "profissão " mto difícil! São responsáveis pelo avião....mas tb pelos passageiros! Uma falha....pode ser fatal! É raro! Felismente!🙏

I think that the outbound flight to Oakland takes less time because the plane flies in the same direction of the Earth's rotation, and the attractive force of the Earth is less strong when the plane travels in the same direction. It's almost like the effect of a catapult.

A350-1000❤

What goes into piloting this long flight is... a lot of coffee! ;)

Winds, and the rotation of the earth changes the flight duration

Ok, now do one for FAs ☺️

The flight back depends on air traffic and the time of day

Thanks for information end beautiful video end professional stuff !I do fly all time with Qatar….. Ther best airline Qatar

The return flight is longer because of the earth rotation.

I really really want to fly for Qatar Airways

Tailwind to Headwind

Flying East to West is always a longer flight time for any routes

it takes longer bc they are flying so fast that time dilation occurs.

Why is it longer? If not the winds, maybe the coriolis effect.

Headwind in flying to the east makes flight longer

Because flying through different time zones

Why did you reupload this?

17 hours due to wind moving opposite of jet stream!

Does another crew fly the plane back upon landing? Or is it just parked at the airport 4 days?

The return trip takes longer because of the jet stream.

The worst airline in the world where they do not allow you to modify travel details, and the only solution is to cancel the ticket and deduct more than half of the amount. Based on their employees' instructions, I changed the ticket to a voucher, but the voucher had the same previous information and cannot be used. Unfortunately, it has expired and I lost nearly a thousand dollars. I hope everyone sees you for who you really are.

is this created by Wendover Prod?

Why did they skip the part when the pilots have fun with the flight attendants? 😂

How did you get the a350 early for the sim?

Earth’s rotation

It takes longer to return since you are flying against the earth's rotation

Headwind dominant route, not to mention nasty jet streams smashing ya in the face

Wind is the answer
