Brand | Al-Mourjan | The-Garden | Asian-Dining

There’s a reason business class bookings are on the rise in Australia, more people are opting for luxury when it comes to airline tickets, and can you blame them?

Extra leg room, gourmet food and lounge access all sound very tempting, but is the splurge worth it?

Here’s our extensive review of the flight from Sydney to Doha with Qatar Airways. 

Cabin and Seating

The 1-2-1 configuration ensures that you have direct aisle access, which is a small but significant luxury on a long flight. The seat itself is incredibly comfortable, transforming into a fully flat luxurious bed. As you settle in, the plush cushions and generous space invite you to relax and unwind. The personal touch of the flight attendants – warm and welcoming – sets the tone for the journey.

The meal service is exceptional, with a gourmet menu that change frequently based on the route and destination. There’s a selection of different flavours to suit every traveller and fine wines and beverages to compliment. Meals are served on an elegant white table wear with a selection of sides and appetisers.

One of the highlights on this flight is the inflight Lounge – A sanctuary in the Sky as it’s commonly known. A personal favourite spot to relax, read your favourite book while enjoying the scent of freshly laid flowers with a signature drink in hand. Snacks and light, fresh meals are also available to order from this bar at any time during your flight. A perfect way to enjoy a long flight.

A personal favourite and a wonderful touch is the Läderach chocolates upon arrival. A sweet selection of chocolate truffles to welcome you to Doha.
