As a US -based newsletter, when I think about large airlines in the Middle East, I think about long epic flights at 777s, 380s and other large aircraft. But can these airlines provide a great experience on a smaller plane?
We discovered on the A320 from Doha to Zanzibar on Qatar Airways, Skytrax The best airline in the world for the year 2024. Throughout the six -hour flight, we took a closer look at the narrow business seat at the airline and the “Mediterranean” service style.
So what should you expect aboard the A320 on the A320 diameter compared to 777s, 787s, A350S or A380S? Reading to find out that. As usual, we have some views of the window seat to enjoy all the way.
The excellent cabin passengers get access to a dedicated access area and a safety checkpoint.
We had to take a moment to appreciate the famous statue of the light reflector bear. Is it wonderful? Is it strange? Is it both? You are the judge.
There is a lot of good food and useful amenities in airlines. We will have a separate story on Qatar’s halls and the ground experience in the huge Doha.
Although the station in Hamad International is huge, Qatar Airways has grown a lot in recent years to the point that many airlines operations are in remote positions instead of jet aircraft. This adds a little trouble. But from an Avgeek perspective, this means great views to work on the slope road:
Seat
Torf us to Airbus A320, which will take us on our six -hour trip to Zanzibar.
Qatar has two different configurations for business degree seats on the A320 fleet. One has a chair seats as you find most of the A320 or 737 business categories. But the other configuration, designed for longer trips such as our trips, features 12 seats in the seat at the forefront.
Collens Diamond seat design has two seats for each row on each side of the corridor. It is a more beautiful design for the seat if you are a traveler as a husband, as there is not much privacy from your neighbor.
In general, it is a great seat for the A320 business class. It is not just good like some other seats in a single business degree that provides unreasonable access to the corridor for each seat, such as Jetblue Mint, for example. But it is still much higher than the average.
The service with HELLO started from the flight host, a pre-start drink in the real glass pots, and an introduction to Dine-on-Dine service in the airline. If you are flying Qatar’s work, remember to look at the list early because it takes your full meal and requests a drink before taking off.
Even at night, it is easy to estimate the amazing range of Hamad International Airport in Doha. Check the offer as we took off:
When the lights of the city of Doha faded behind us, the double times exploded and the attendees ran on the trip to a high degree of equipment.
The start of the service
We were invited to eat meals at any time and any matter, as is the case with usual flights. Here’s a look at the trip menu:
Here is a look at the list of drinks:
The pasta can be boring as an enormous meal. This dish was not. I tasted great and I appreciate fresh vegetables.
Quick dessert approximation of the meal.
The pursuit of the journey was amazing. However, we can say that the conquest dining service style of work has made them work on Overdrive.
Stability for a long time (nest) -Hul
Enderight Entertainment systems vary through the Qatar Fleet. On this A320 the screen was large, and the film and television library was a lot for this trip although it is not wide as the Emirates system, for example. My childhood map has designed me to 2000s.
These seats are completely flat when you are ready to sleep.
It was a soft and comfortable bed, and an excellent airline bed. I got a few hours of sleep quality before waking up in a timely manner for a pre -hunting breakfast and breakfast.
Just like dinner, breakfast was beautifully plated.
For breakfast at the end of a medium medium trip, this method felt higher than the average.
The views of the landing were beautiful Zanzibar:
Ruling
All in all, this was a comfortable journey for a medium -middle journey. Certainly, everything is equal to a more beautiful journey on long, long objects in Qatar. Especially if you are flying alone, since the A320 seat does not provide the same access to the global direct or privacy of the QSUITE and QATAR seats at the business level. But you still get a comfortable comfortable seat benefits with nice finishes. In the end, it is a good platform enough to allow the airline service to shine and land well.
Just remember that part of the airline A320 fleet has standard chair seats. So you will want to pay attention to the seat map when booking.
We will return with more stories about our time in Qatar Airways, including a long -term experience with QSUITES seat. Meanwhile, let’s know your thoughts in the comments section below.
