A recent journey of passenger from Doha to Tbilisi with Qatar Airways in Business Class provided a mix of highs and lows. After a comfortable overnight stopover in Doha, fully covered by Qatar Airways, the flight experience unfolded with a blend of excellent service and slightly worn-out seating.
Comfortable Yet Tired Seats
The A320 Business Class seats were spacious but showed signs of age, making them less comfortable than expected. Despite this, the anticipation for Qatar Airways’ renowned hospitality remained high, especially after a relaxing visit to the Al Mourjan Garden Lounge.
Exceptional Onboard Service
From the warm welcome with traditional Arabian coffee and dates to the attentive crew, the service stood out. This small yet thoughtful gesture set the tone for a pleasant journey ahead. The crew remained professional and accommodating throughout the 3-hour, 20-minute flight.
Breakfast
With an extensive breakfast menu, the options were impressive. Having already enjoyed an Arabic breakfast in the lounge, the choice landed on a Western-style meal. Fresh fruits followed by a frittata with mushrooms, asparagus, and potatoes made for an excellent combination. A cappuccino wrapped up the meal perfectly before a short nap.
In-flight Experience
While an iPad was offered for entertainment, the stunning views outside and the desire to capture moments took priority over screen time. The overall flight experience was smooth, with the attentive crew ensuring comfort throughout the journey.

Final Thoughts
