A recent traveler shared their experience flying Qatar Airways’ A330 business class. While the journey had its highlights, a few aspects fell short of expectations.
Well-Maintained Cabin but Limited Space
The Qatar Airways A330 was spotless and well-prepared. The business-class seat was fully functional but felt slightly narrow, especially for a taller passenger. The lack of direct aisle access was a downside, though manageable when traveling with a companion.
Service and Dining
Cabin crew was welcoming and professional, upholding Qatar’s usual standards. The Arabic mezze and dessert were outstanding, while the steak was decent for an in-flight meal.
Wine Selection Was a Letdown
The biggest disappointment was the downgraded wine list. Premium options like Laurent Perrier’s Alexandra Rosé 2012 were missing, and replaced by more standard choices.
Key Highlights from the Review
- Spotless aircraft and well-maintained seats
- Attentive and professional crew
- Excellent mezze and dessert with a decent steak
- Reduced wine selection with fewer premium options
Final Thoughts
A pleasant journey with great service and food. While the seat layout and downgraded wine list were drawbacks, the overall experience remained solid.
