Business Class flying: Is it worth it? Well when it comes to Qatar airways the answer is a definate yes
Fancy skipping the queues and being greeted with champagne and fine wine upon boarding the plane? Do you want a comfortable journey and food that you actually want to eat? Most people think that flying business class is an unnecessary expense, we did too until we flew from London to Doha with Qatar Airways. It opened our eyes to a whole new world. Here are seven reasons why flying business class with Qatar Airways is totally worth it:
Comfort
Long haul flights can be a real pain in the back, but not with Qatar airways. The seats in the business class cabin are super comfortable. The fight for space between your feet and your bag isn’t a thing here, there’s loads of room to stow your belongings.
The wide seats can be moved to lots of different positions including a full flat bed position so sleeping will come easily. There’s even fluffy pillows and comfy blankets to rest your weary head on that are so much better than the ones you get in economy.
Fantastic Food
Plane food is, on the whole, extremely unappetising. We reckon most people only eat it because they’re bored. But not here. Qatar Airways food is not only palatable, it’s good. They serve signature dishes, created by well known celebrity chefs, and no chef would put their name to terrible plane food unless they wanted to ruin their career in one fowl plane dive. You can even order your food on demand. From Iranian grill mixes to a great meze plates, the food here is anything but bland. Also, the wine list is endless. It is however a little sad when you see the air hostess pour the leftover wine down the drain – Doha is a dry airport.
You Can Be Productive
One of the worst things about flying economy is the boredom. There are only so many movies you can watch on a long haul flight before your eyes go square. And forget about trying to get any work done. Trying to get your laptop out of your bag is hard enough, let alone fighting with the person next to you for enough elbow room so you can actually type. However flying business class is a whole different story. The space and free wifi on is much more conducive to working.
The Service
World-class service. That’s all we have to say.
The Toiletries
The chance to freshen up mid-flight with a bag full of Giorgio Armani toiletries it just the ticket. You can avoid that horrible sweaty feeling that comes with long-haul flights with these luxury goodies. Big thumbs up.
All The Awards
Qatar Airways have received World’s Best Business Class from Skytrax so many times it’s hard to keep track. Skytrax commissions leading, independent, global surveys of airline and airport performance. They think that Qatar Airways are the best of the best and so do we.
The Business Lounge
Waiting at the airport for your flight is one of the worst things about flying. But not at when you’re business class with Qatar. All passengers who fly either Business or First Class get free access into the Qatar Airways airport lounge.
The lounge itself is like stepping into a fancy boutique hotel lobby or a private club. The deli counter is a winner and offers lots of fresh food. Also they have fantastic shower facilities if you want to freshen up, complete with heated floors and luxury brand products.
