Singapore, Adelaide & Dubai

Qatar Airways QR624 | DOH/KUL
Business Class
Airbus A330-300 | A7-AEI

Before I embarked on this journey, I was vaguely aware that a new terminal was under construction at Doha Airport, and that the existing airport terminal, which did not feature any airbridges, was operating at above capacity. I was also aware that premium passengers were served via one terminal while Economy Class passengers were processed in a different terminal.

When my flight from Bahrain landed, the Business Class passengers were disembarked first and whisked away to their terminal. When I disembarked, I asked the staff at the remote stand about how I could get to the Business Class terminal. They shrugged and told me I had to get onto the bus. That bus took me to the regular terminal. There, I enquired about lounge access and I was simply told it was in another terminal. Nobody offered to help me get to that terminal. I resigned myself to hanging out at the crowded terminal for the next three hours.

Qatar Airways' A330 featured angled lie flat seats. They weren't the most comfortable, but I did get some sleep.Baca selengkapnya
