Flying with Qatar Airways often guarantees a premium experience, and a recent flight from Cape Town (CPT) to Doha (DOH) on the A350 was no exception.
Comfortable and Spacious Cabin
The aircraft’s 1-2-1 seating configuration provided ample space and direct aisle access for every passenger. The seat design ensured a comfortable and relaxed journey.
Delicious Food and Quality Wine
Dining onboard was a highlight, with a meal featuring Kingklip fish, couscous, and roasted vegetables. The wine selection included Whispering Angel, a top-tier choice that added to the overall enjoyment.
Fast and Reliable WiFi
Staying connected in the air was seamless. The in-flight WiFi was strong enough to support a clear FaceTime call an hour into the journey, making communication effortless.
Challenges at Cape Town Airport
Before boarding, the experience at Cape Town Airport was less than ideal. Long security and passport control lines, lack of priority access, and a basic lounge without air conditioning made for a frustrating start, especially in the 34°C heat.
Key Takeaways from the Flight
- Spacious 1-2-1 seating layout

Final Thoughts
Despite some pre-flight hassles, the Qatar Airways experience remained exceptional. The attentive staff, comfortable seating, and impressive amenities made the journey enjoyable. With a quick layover in Doha before continuing in QSuite comfort to London, this was a well-rounded flying experience.
