Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas there’s also the SQ288 that flies the SYD-CBR-SIN-SYD loop on a daily basis as well. This replaced the SQ ‘Capital Express’ service that did SIN-CBR-WLG-CBR-SIN with 5th freedom rights. But those 2 are the only international flights currently operating to CBR. With driving to Sydney only taking about 2.5 hours, there’s very little need to have to fly from Canberra. Considering transfer from domestic to international, check in, flight duration, and distance to the airport from northern parts of Canberra, you may as well just drive to Sydney to catch your flight.
I used to fly Qatar on company flights Saigon - London in the days of the bus terminal transfer. Then started using Business class and the transfer was by limo. Loved the new lounges as I used the showers first, then had a freshly cooked steak. Yes I agree steaks and lumps of beef never taste right on a plane. Once retired I priced other airlines and Emirates came in a lot cheaper, also fly into Birmingham and off a limo service both ways. All flights by B777 and A380. I just love the A380 and will cry if their taken out of service and that's the reason I'm checking theA350. Thanks for the excellent Vlog, take care.
"Roger! What's this!?"... "A tweeting bird?..." "A Tweeting bird!... Read the script! Rabbit gets clonked... Rabbit sees stars... Not birds! STARS! Can we lose the playback please!?"
I am a regular on lhr-doh-syd in J, last 3 Xmas trips, and the q suites are lovely - and I always ask for the lemon and mint drink when I get aboard 🙂. My only complaint is that getting a shower at DOH can be a pain , they should copy Etihad and give you a wireless buzzer to tell you when your shower is ready.
The reason I watch this channel. Paul is clear and concise, Has no moronic gimmicks like making stupid noises etc, No jump edits every two words. Is very honest. Good work Paul, safe travels.
Bob Brewer Qatar doesn’t actually want to serve Canberra. It does it so it can get a third daily slot at Sydney since the government would only permit it to take more slots from secondary cities.
This lockdown has finally allowed me to finish watching everything you have produced on here! WOW so many journeys and so much beef lol. Loved every minute of it too! Keep up the great entertainment please. :)
Also, those flying to Canberra could be coming to see the Raiders play at home. The stadium is about 3 miles, just under 5km from where I lived in the mid to late 70s, though it and they weren’t there then.
Is it just me or does anyone else really hate the idea of flying backwards? I don't think it's for me. Yet another great video from Paul, can't wait to see the onwards journey. Keep it up.
I've flown Qatar Q suite backwards, it's slightly odd taking off and landing, especially if you're watching the outside camera, but once airborne it's no different at all
Many, MANY moons ago, I took a flight on Southwest which had rearward facing seats. I decided to try it for novelty sake. Like somebody else said, take off and landing were a bit odd, but otherwise there was no real issue.
No problem facing backwards on a flight. Done it several times with BA. In fact it is supposedly safer than facing forward. The RAF always used to have rearward facing seats in their transport aircraft.
“Doha airport has an indoor transit system which has - pointless may I add, glass ceilings. So you can look at... another ceiling. Perhaps that’s a metaphor for life itself, but I digress”. Cracked me up, how insightful for a flight review! 😂 8:20am on a Saturday morning and need to escapeeeeee!
Awesome to hear that you came to Canberra, Paul. I hope you had time to visit our awesome city. If not, and you come back again one day, feel free to send me a message, I can organise a tour of our area. Despite Canberra being a Government centre, we do have people here unrelated to Government, and quite a few tourist attractions. In my job as a taxi driver, I deal with a lot of tourists. Correction though, we have two international flights, a Singapore Airlines flight that goes Sin-Syd-Cbr-Sin (SQ288) lands in Canberra around 9:30/10:30 at night depending on summer or winter time. Sadly, due to COVID-19 both of our international flights have been suspended for a few months though.
First thing at 0:58 in the video the bear is freaky! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO PAUL! I’ve probably rewatched it 500 times now! I CANNOT WAIT to fly with Qatar 🇶🇦 Airways someday especially if heading to Australia 🇦🇺 hopefully!Also the food on Qatar in Business Class seems INCREDIBLE and TASTY 😋 and the Q-Suite is amazing looking too! 😊 I love this entire Australia series too!Finally at 4:29 there is absolutely NOTHING WORSE than dots on airport terminal windows! You cannot see the planes and it reminds me a lot of the #dumbdetroitdots on the windows at the A terminal at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) my home airport here in the USA 🇺🇸 Cheers mate! 🥂 Great video! 🎉🎉 ✈️
Great video! Eventually, I'm keen to fly with Qatar business class from UK to NZ. I like at prices every now and then. Price does seem reasonable compared with Singapore Airlines
Would Jeb Brooks think those noise cancelling headphones are any good???? 😃 love your video clips Paul. Huge fan! Let me know next time you are transiting through Denver....... I might even be there and would buy you a drink!
Who framed Roger Rabbit... Classic. I think it and TMNT are 2 of the first movies I remember from my childhood. Cheers for the video Paul, great watch.
I loved it Paul, you know I admire and respect what you do. This one really touched me as I travel to the far twice yearly with Qatar in economy. Brilliant coverage of the QSuite thank you.
Hey Paul, unless things had changed when you were here, Canberra actually has two international flights a day. Singapore Airlines has (had?) a late evening flight as well. Makes us sound like a hick town, doesn't it? I'm not sure why the customs people would be bussed down here, as Qatar flies (flew) in daily and if Singapore still does (or did at the time), plus they are headquartered here.
This is what I was thinking too! I'm from Canberra and still see the SQ flight coming in at night. And as for the Canberra customs they are Canberra based, maybe some had moved to Canberra when the international terminal had opened up
Ive noticed flying on Qatar that the Movie section tends to be heavily censored. It's hard not to watch Whiplash and hear "Flippin" dubbed & replaced for F*** every minute.
It is the case. Qatar is a Muslim country and some scenes are cut from the IFE. You can expect sexual swearing, heavy sex scenes and scenes with LGBT interest to be cut from their movies.
Sept 2, 2020: Hi Paul! I found your videos accidentally and have enjoyed them immensely. You seem like a nice guy who approaches traveling from a pleasant perspective. I've given up on my search for employment after 3 years (three grad degrees), so traveling for fun at 63 sounds like fun. Life goes on! Thanks very much, Kate
Qatar airways is not the only international flight that operates out of CBR. Singapore airline operates CBR-SIN way before Qatar. SQ used to fly SIN-CBR-WLG back in 2016, then it became SIN-SYD-CBR-SIN with a unique flight number that doesn’t change for the entire round trip till the aircraft reaches back to SIN - SQ288
Thank You I didn’t know they had anything like that! How nice to be able to have your own little space and bed! I really enjoyed the video! How much in American dollars did it cost? Just curious
Wow! Thank you Paul. I didn't expect to see you for quite awhile. This virus must be harder for travelers like you than it is for those of us not in the business of flying for a living. Thanks, kepp your hand sanitizer handy and we'll see you soon. Great video.
Glad you've finally gotten to visit my country, Paul! You are right, those bushfires do feel like a long time ago now, although I'm sure those whom were more affected would say otherwise and rightfully so. Seeing that footage of you coming into Sydney reminded me of when I returned home from Japan back to Sydney in late November. I assigned myself a seat on the left hand side so I could see my hometown from the air during the descent. Sadly this wasn't possible given the smoke cover. At first, I thought it was some sort of fog but with further thought, figured it was smoke. The smoke began to get worse a few days after I returned from memory. Still, the flight was a pleasure. Fourth time on All Nippon Airways and my second time in their Premium Economy on their Boeing 787-9, always a treat. I got a giggle over the anecdote about the immigration officials in Canberra wondering why you decided to enter the country through there instead of Sydney. I don't think the concept of a cheaper fare would come to their mind all too often. I believe Singapore Airlines operates, or perhaps now, operated a flight between Singapore-Canberra-Wellington dubbed the "Capital Shuttle", or something like that too. I've never been to Canberra myself. We usually get the opportunity during school where I live, but I always opted out. I did enjoy your take on the much hyped Q Suites. I hadn't read up much negative points about it besides those that have a habit of moving around their space too much during the flight allowing for some light bruising. Similar to you, I think that my chances of ever visiting Europe someday are close to zero, but maybe not so much in the near future. Please take care. I'm looking forward to your uploads each week. They're always a treat to relax to after a day's work.
Kane Yasa Singapore Airlines replaced the Wellington flight with a Sin-Syd-Cbr-Sin flight either 2018 or 2019. The Capital Express, as it was known, got changed to Sin-Mel-Wlg.
Q suite should be on everyone's bucket list . Lucky enough to do London-Adelaide-London just before Lockdown. Simple awesome and a real part of the amazing holiday experience.
Great review Paul, thanks! Great memories for me too . Flew the Q Suite for the first time on a TP run to Singapore via Sofia and Doha to stay with my friend in Feb (seems like a lifetime ago now!!). It’s such a great product. I tried both the forward and rearward facing seats and did favour the rear facing one for the extra privacy. Always love Qatar and their crews. On my way back to the UK from via Sofia I was the only one in business class one of their A321’s and was literally treated like a king! The crew couldn’t have done more for me. Roll on all of this being over so we can get back in the sky 🤞.
Agree that bear is weird! Looks a great experience. We haven't visited Australia yet but hope to when we can all travel again. Thanks for a really informative video.
Hi Paul What a great review, never flown with Qatar Airways to OZ, I will certainly take a look at them in future. Keep up the great reviews. Kind regards DS
Dude whodahell books flight in the midst of Corona? Assuming that the trip is non essential due to its destination and it being quiet far away in the future
I had the first time pleasure of the A350 QSuite on 2nd leg of SYD > LHR last month and it is hands down the best business class I’ve done. I couldn’t fault anything about the experience. I particularly liked the way the seat was adjustable forwards and back so you can get closer to the table if working with a laptop.
First time viewer here. Really appreciated the screen views of take-off & landing. Tired of looking out the side window when there are other options available. Your volume level is perfect and I don't find myself having to adjust -/+ b/c of background music. I would request that you do a slow, detailed viewing of the menu / wine & liquor. It's always nice to see all of the options. Thank you for the time taken to research your flight, record, edit, & post the video.
Delighted to see this video up - a month ago I booked onto the A35K in Qsuites Doha-Tokyo and I am now - if that were possible - even more excited for it. Thanks a lot Paul!
Hi there would it be possible to do review for biman Bangladesh airlines either from London Heathrow to Dhaka or sylhet (Bangladesh) or from Manchester to sylhet or Dhaka (Bangladesh) thanks
Flew them ATL-DOH-SIN. The first flight on the 777-200LR was great, but they swapped the a350-900 for an old a330-300. Bummer, as the latter had recliner business class seats and it was a night flight.. The lounge is impressive, but cold and impersonal. Their buffet in the evening was mainly south asian food-not my favorite. However, the on-board catering and the cabin service were far superior to anything else I've experienced. I'd go out of my way to fly them again.
I flew the Q-Suites from Doha to Tokyo Haneda. I would disagree about the beds. At 6’1, I found them quite crazy and uncomfortable, particularly the angled footwell. Also, I asked for an Old Fashioned and it was served to me without ice! Apart from that, it was excellent. Also, Who did frame Roger Rabbit?! ;£
I'm filled with envy!!! The Q Suite is simply amazing! Hey Paul, do you keep the amenity kit? Do you give them away? Would love to own 1 for my collection.
Australians ridicule Canberra, yet I believe that it is an unfairly maligned city. Actually, I think it is really lovely. Next time you come here, try Bendigo, which is a joy of gold rush Victorian buildings. Thank you for the video.
Just subscribed and love your videos. Do you do any videos once you are there (where ever that is) or just getting there and going back? This flight reminds me of the flt. I flew on United to Dubai, UAE and then on with a 1/4 full 747 to Doha, Qatar. They no longer fly to either :-(. With everything restricted do you have a lot of videos yet to publish? P.S. when this is all over I am considering the Indian Pacific train tour, looks fantastic.
Glad you finally made it down under Paul - hope you enjoyed your time here. Although those bush fires and smoke were by far the worst we've seen on record. Certainly not your typical classic Aussie Summer. Hopefully will never happen again. Interesting you chose to enter via Canberra. Qatar Q-Suites look impressive. Can't wait to see your Indian-Pacific report.
I fly that Doha to Sydney leg every 6 to 8 weeks, never gets easier!...but the Q-suite makes it bearable as its an outstanding product. First time I have seen a reaction to the signature drink like that, I normally have 2 straight away, very refreshing....spot on about Canberra too, boring dead city with nothing going on and an over-inflated view of itself, simply a large bush town and full of people who think the world revolves around their axis.
Here's a off question: When you got to Sydney and exited the plane do you have to take all your belongings off the plane then go back to the same seat after going through immigration and customs/and/or security? Oh another a quick question about luggage security locks on your baggage if you use them or not? Can you lock them or is it not allowed with TSA with checked or carry on luggage? 🤔
Lucas, I know what you mean about the teddy bear thing being terrifying - had a 4-hour stopover in this airport last May during a work trip at what would have been roughly 4am back home and my colleagues and I were so freaked out by it in our half-asleep state. Perhaps if we'd been more awake we would have been better able to appreciate it...? Or so I thought but it seems you had the same mixed feelings regarding it as well LOL!
Im glad that you got to visit my beautiful country but sad that you did so during the worst fires in our history. I was amused that you were asked "why Canberra?".......Most Aussies visit at least once many kids going as part of their education and I found it a beautiful and interesting city....but then I do prefer smaller cities.
Make the most of it because there won't be many more business class flights after this pandemic.Video Conferencing is going to see a sharp rise.The day of the Jumbo jet is at an end.Good video but I think it's going to go into the archives of how we used travel fairly soon.
I am using surfshark to book flights to Singapore just wondering if I am using a Japan as my address but we live in Ireland will we get stung on currency exchange first time to use it, any advice
I have been so looking forward to your Australia flights!! Great review, I don’t think there is a person the hasn’t liked Q Suite, I hope to fly it one day

The a350 900 has the same business class as the Dreamliner.
Gamer lady vs Gamer dude Not all of them do. Some newer -900s now have QSuites too.
thank you for a great review. I'm sure that we all miss being able to fly. Stay safe and healthy and hopefully this quarantine will end soon!

Very impressive product by Qatar Airways. But given the situation we’re in, even a flight with Ryanair seems like something special :D.
So true...

My only complaint is that getting a shower at DOH can be a pain , they should copy Etihad and give you a wireless buzzer to tell you when your shower is ready.
Lol Rodger Rabbit... been a while since I’ve seen that one!
Damn its a 3hr bus ride to essentially do a double security check... sad for the customs or border ppl. Just google mapped it lol
The reason I watch this channel.

Has no moronic gimmicks like making stupid noises etc,
No jump edits every two words.
Is very honest.
Good work Paul, safe travels.
What av channel has those gimmicks?
I love the detail of the Australian immigration agents being like "but why Canberra though?"
Bob Brewer Qatar doesn’t actually want to serve Canberra. It does it so it can get a third daily slot at Sydney since the government would only permit it to take more slots from secondary cities.
Immigration agents? Actyally we call them Border Farce, and they are led by an utterly incompetent Cabinet Minister
@@bobbrewer5182 Yes was going to add that Singapore operates thru Canberra Bob.

How can you dislike the lemon mint!? :O
It's two ingredients that go well with other things, but together? It's like adding parsley and cilantro and calling it a salad.

Dude whodahell books flight in the midst of Corona? Assuming that the trip is non essential due to its destination and it being quiet far away in the future
I really enjoy watching your videos.
Q-Suite! I'm jealous...
Great video Paul. I absolutely love to watch your videos, you're so calm..
I had the first time pleasure of the A350 QSuite on 2nd leg of SYD > LHR last month and it is hands down the best business class I’ve done. I couldn’t fault anything about the experience. I particularly liked the way the seat was adjustable forwards and back so you can get closer to the table if working with a laptop.
Your signature drink reaction was priceless 😂
Seriously, that combination sounded disgusting.
It lime and mint leaves mixed with water and sugar it’s delicious 😋
Know "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" I saw it in the theater when it first came out!
First time viewer here.
Really appreciated the screen views of take-off & landing. Tired of looking out the side window when there are other options available. Your volume level is perfect and I don't find myself having to adjust -/+ b/c of background music. I would request that you do a slow, detailed viewing of the menu / wine & liquor. It's always nice to see all of the options. Thank you for the time taken to research your flight, record, edit, & post the video.
Beautiful airplane ✈ and superb business class! Great video! A pleasure to watch you during this stay at home time!
who framed roger rabbit
Delighted to see this video up - a month ago I booked onto the A35K in Qsuites Doha-Tokyo and I am now - if that were possible - even more excited for it. Thanks a lot Paul!

Who framed Roger Rabbit. One of my favorites
I really liked your video ! I enjoy flight reviews videos when the person is talking and explaining things. I really loved it !
Qatar airways is ahead of all competition. But I so much miss flying now that even a flight with Blue air out of BHX would be a privilege
Hi there would it be possible to do review for biman Bangladesh airlines either from London Heathrow to Dhaka or sylhet (Bangladesh) or from Manchester to sylhet or Dhaka (Bangladesh) thanks
Awesome coverage Paul! I'm a big fan of your movies. Doing a great job! Especially in these tough times you make your followers very happy! Cheers!
Something i never expected. Seeing an Aviation Video being sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends (not that that's a bad thing). But Woah!!
Flew them ATL-DOH-SIN. The first flight on the 777-200LR was great, but they swapped the a350-900 for an old a330-300. Bummer, as the latter had recliner business class seats and it was a night flight.. The lounge is impressive, but cold and impersonal. Their buffet in the evening was mainly south asian food-not my favorite. However, the on-board catering and the cabin service were far superior to anything else I've experienced. I'd go out of my way to fly them again.
I flew the Q-Suites from Doha to Tokyo Haneda. I would disagree about the beds. At 6’1, I found them quite crazy and uncomfortable, particularly the angled footwell.
Also, I asked for an Old Fashioned and it was served to me without ice!
Apart from that, it was excellent.
Also, Who did frame Roger Rabbit?! ;£
Drop a comment if you know this film... Seriously? Who DOESN'T know Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Amazing review! Looks like tons of fun. Thanks for sharing. All the best. Stay safe
I'm filled with envy!!! The Q Suite is simply amazing! Hey Paul, do you keep the amenity kit? Do you give them away? Would love to own 1 for my collection.
Australians ridicule Canberra, yet I believe that it is an unfairly maligned city. Actually, I think it is really lovely. Next time you come here, try Bendigo, which is a joy of gold rush Victorian buildings.
Thank you for the video.
Always look forward to your uploads Paul. Hope you are well and holding up ok! (BTW, it was Roger Rabbit) 👍
Just subscribed and love your videos. Do you do any videos once you are there (where ever that is) or just getting there and going back? This flight reminds me of the flt. I flew on United to Dubai, UAE and then on with a 1/4 full 747 to Doha, Qatar. They no longer fly to either :-(. With everything restricted do you have a lot of videos yet to publish? P.S. when this is all over I am considering the Indian Pacific train tour, looks fantastic.
Glad you finally made it down under Paul - hope you enjoyed your time here. Although those bush fires and smoke were by far the worst we've seen on record. Certainly not your typical classic Aussie Summer. Hopefully will never happen again. Interesting you chose to enter via Canberra. Qatar Q-Suites look impressive. Can't wait to see your Indian-Pacific report.
Fly Emirates
These videos make me happy, hoping that once again I can travel by air. Thanks Paul.
I fly that Doha to Sydney leg every 6 to 8 weeks, never gets easier!...but the Q-suite makes it bearable as its an outstanding product. First time I have seen a reaction to the signature drink like that, I normally have 2 straight away, very refreshing....spot on about Canberra too, boring dead city with nothing going on and an over-inflated view of itself, simply a large bush town and full of people who think the world revolves around their axis.
Here's a off question: When you got to Sydney and exited the plane do you have to take all your belongings off the plane then go back to the same seat after going through immigration and customs/and/or security? Oh another a quick question about luggage security locks on your baggage if you use them or not? Can you lock them or is it not allowed with TSA with checked or carry on luggage? 🤔
Lucas, I know what you mean about the teddy bear thing being terrifying - had a 4-hour stopover in this airport last May during a work trip at what would have been roughly 4am back home and my colleagues and I were so freaked out by it in our half-asleep state. Perhaps if we'd been more awake we would have been better able to appreciate it...? Or so I thought but it seems you had the same mixed feelings regarding it as well LOL!
I slept on a super VC 10 from Trinidad to Heathrow BOAC IN 1971 in first class. Loved the food loved the silence and hated the lack of space
Im glad that you got to visit my beautiful country but sad that you did so during the worst fires in our history. I was amused that you were asked "why Canberra?".......Most Aussies visit at least once many kids going as part of their education and I found it a beautiful and interesting city....but then I do prefer smaller cities.
Just a piece of advice for your next flights with QR. Never, ever order beef options from Doha sector. It’s always horrible! Lol!
Make the most of it because there won't be many more business class flights after this pandemic.Video Conferencing is going to see a sharp rise.The day of the Jumbo jet is at an end.Good video but I think it's going to go into the archives of how we used travel fairly soon.
I am using surfshark to book flights to Singapore just wondering if I am using a Japan as my address but we live in Ireland will we get stung on currency exchange first time to use it, any advice
P-p-p-p-please! Roger Rabbit! 😍
I have been so looking forward to your Australia flights!! Great review, I don’t think there is a person the hasn’t liked Q Suite, I hope to fly it one day
the bed will fit just about anyone ..........what if your 6 foot 8 .........ah well whats an inch between friends
Dammit Raid got Paul
Do you get a 240v socket? I need to use a portable O2 concentrator which needs to plug in on long flights.
Wow they had Who framed Roger Rabbit?! Love that film and bonus pts to you for picking it!!
