THE QATAR First Class | Doha to Bangkok on Qatar Airways A380

welcome on board carter e380 first class this is wandering scholar speaking to you from kyota airways premium cabin entrance at doha hamad international airport today i'm flying on board catas airbus a380 on a seven hours journey from doha to bangkok my journey begins at the aosa check-in area which can be accessed by entering the terminal from door one [Music] my checked in luggage was assisted by a bellman as i was personally escorted to the dedicated check-in desks kasha seems to staff their countess according to first class departure times as there are only very few cities that feature first class service [Music] but there is absolutely no rush here a hot towel was presented shortly after i was invited to wait and not longer after an agent became available to check me in the entire checking process took about 12 minutes according to my recorded footage which was unusually long given thailand has basically stripped all of its covet-related entry restrictions however i was very well taken care of during this process as the bellman or in this case more for footman were standing alongside of me this entire time making filming awkward at the same time [Music] exclusivity and privacy is valued at high especially in qatar first class passengers are invited to use a dedicated security and immigration facility that is hidden miles away from the bourgeois commotion and after a short ride up the escalator we are now at the al safwa first class southwark is so the quietest place i've been in any commercial terminal [Music] greeted by the elegant waterfall i am looking out towards an incredibly spacious corridor that are embellished on the two sides with artifacts borrowed from the museum of islamic art an impaired design architectural masterpiece located on doha's corniche [Music] the corridor is the artery of the lounge and strolling down takes me past another waterfall and to the dining room our software lounge is open 24 7 to accommodate qatar airways never ending flight and our lakota menu is also offered every hour of the day here in our software also a class of the one glass at a time is a rather nonsense policy to be honest even though at our safwa and one glass pool is almost half a bottle one of the caveat about our sapphire dining is that all food here are pre-cooked and heated when served in the lounge in other words there is a literally no open flame allowed in the terminal building so what you get here is basically equivalent to the preparation of an airplane meal while the food is still decent enough to resume the role of a wine pairing dish the one options here are really what you should be after off i mean one does not often see a few decades-old vintage serb for free in an airport [Music] after an indulging dinner the crowd at the land started to disperse as all of the middle east regional first class flights have departed for the day on my way out i pass through the bar display area where you should sit if you're really looking forward to some slimer time one of my favorite furniture in the lounge must be these individual port seats that offers a very smooth and deep recline [Music] as you can see from the departure board qatar has a concentrated flight arrival starting at 8 30 p.m and for the ensuing three hours both the almost on and off software lounge is going to be near capacity with transit passengers as for me i'm looking to find a quiet spot for the next few hours so that i can preserve my energy when i board my flight at 2 am and in my case the spa area is perhaps the best place to retreat from the crowd right yeah now i'll see you all in a few hours time now before we head off to board our flights i'm sure many of you are wondering how i managed to fly in such a style since i was in high school and a very comprehensive answer to that question can be found at studenttroubleexpert.com if you are flying qatar in first class arriving five hours before departure is absolutely worth the effort meanwhile the terminal at doha also offers a variety of retail and fmb however i'll save the remaining time i have to explore the airbus a380 you can immediately tell the scale of our plane by the sheer length of the queue entering the gate area and once upstairs the super jumble emerged from the glass as we are now moments away from boarding our seven hours flight to bangkok [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] kyota's first class may be understated but the hard product is still in every way emblematic of this gulf nation's elegance and humility i had assigned myself suite 1a on today's flight which has three windows at my disposal along with an adjustable privacy partition [Music] after a few glasses of crook 2004 it is a time to browse our fnb agenda of the day you very much they're going to take some photos outside absolutely thank you very much the crew really shined out the first impression today and the service was seamless as expected for the rest of the flight we started to taxi shortly after the new order was taken and this was commenced by a football themed safety video though singapore airline safety video still remained my favorite entertainment on any commercial airliner okay a380 is certainly one of the greatest aircraft in terms of passenger comfort you can barely feel the airplane taking off even when it is accelerating 200 miles per hour a customary port side view of doher's skyline upon departure was ensued tonight by a right turn toward the persian gulf and service was in action in no time to preserve sleeping time on this rather short overnight service just as i was about to enjoy the world-class hospitality the seat on this aircraft unfortunately had a malfunctioned entertainment system the crew was extremely apologetic but nothing could be done given the full first class cabin mostly filled by operational upgrades anyways it's now the time for the orchestra to begin [Music] [Music] let us do some hidden gem that has to be found [Music] there is no way i could have comfortably slept after all those food had i not consumed most of the wines on board and of course the a380 bar is the place to be if you want to arrive in bangkok not knowing how to disembark returning to the nose and my bed has been made with a burgundy colored duvet i'll see you all in a few hours time [Music] there is probably nothing better than waking up and entering the a380 bathroom on a plane this is not a feature unique to any airline but the upper deck structure of this aircraft simply allowed it to have the largest bathroom on any commercial airliners it is a pity there is no shower available but i'll forgive it just because how rare it is to fly an a380 nowadays it was a little over an hour until landing and i chose to sample a few a la carte items just before arrival qatar does not offer a full breakfast on this flight given the short flight time and a branch platter was served instead it's no secret that i hate airplane breakfast bakata at least made some nice effort to make it more presentable than the pile of stiff omelet seven hours is really the minimum to fully enjoy a first-class flight but with the other night on today's flight the time went by even quicker having flown qatar's award-winning business class many times in the past i would not say i was astonished by my first class experience while the seat has a lot more space than the key suite the food and beverage offerings are only marginally better than the already top-notch food served in business class however the wine lover i guess the kruger four and the biandi santi alone are enough to justify paying the increment for this flight as much as i enjoy my seven hours journey in qatar's first class i probably would not pay the faux price again if i were to have a choice it has been a pleasure and i cannot wait for our next departure thank you for watching this wandering scholar video [Music]
