Flying with Qatar Airways often sets expectations high, and this particular journey from Istanbul to Auckland via Doha didn’t disappoint the passenger.
Exceptional Food and Suites
One of the most praised aspects of the trip was the quality of food and the luxurious suites. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation made the in-flight dining feel more like a fine restaurant than an airline meal.
Attentive and Polite Staff
Throughout both legs of the journey, the staff remained a highlight. Their politeness and attentiveness contributed significantly to the overall positive experience, ensuring a smooth and pleasant flight.
Lounge Access Letdown
The only drawback mentioned was the lack of included lounge access at the airports. Even with business class tickets, lounge use came at an additional cost, which was a surprise.
Key Highlights from the Review:
- Route: IST–DOH and DOH–AKL on Qatar Airways Business Class
- Food and suites described as exceptional
- Staff were very attentive and polite
- No lounge access included with the ticket
Final Thoughts
Overall, the flight experience was really good with great food, comfortable suites, and helpful staff. The only downside was not getting lounge access without paying extra. Still, the journey itself was smooth and enjoyable.
