- Let’s fly the flagship of Qatar Airways on their flagship route to London Heathrow! On QR 001 nonetheless!
Qatar Airways operates up to 8(!) daily flights to Heathrow, but only one flight in the entire network gets the prestigious number 1 number!
Last week I’ve shown you what it is like to fly BA from Dubai to London. I thoroughly enjoyed that experience and believe British Airways improved a lot. This week I am showing you the same experience but with their close partner and partial owner Qatar Airways.
Come and join me on the busiest route in the Qatar Airways network and compare for yourself which OneWorld partner you like best in the Economy Class to London!
For me they’re both tied in service quantity and quality.
What sets each apart is their crew. While on BA it’s fun and interactive, on QR it’s more eloquent and refined. Whichever service style you prefer is your cup of tea!
I wish you much watch pleasure and look forward to read your thoughts in the comments!
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Doha Hamad International Airport, Qatar
To: London Heathrow, London, The United Kingdom
Flight Number: QR 1
Aircraft Type: Airbus A350-1000
Registration: A7-ANO
Flight Time: 06:42
Don’t forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed our video!
Feel free to leave a comment with your opinion and feedback.
Have a nice one!
You can also leave a Super Like as a tip for my work. I’ll invest it all on future trips.

My apologies for all the typos. I’ve never flown as much and slept so little as this week and the editing was in between.
I hope you enjoy regardless of this, thanks for your understanding!
No worries as always a great video, one important typo was leaving the end off Southend-on-sea which was the south end of Prittlewell Chase (hence the name) a famous hunting forest of Henry the eighth after he got the land of Anne Boleyn whose family lived nearby! As for living in Hounslow try Southend where I spend my days watching all those planes coming in to LHR or LCU and climbing out of LGW or STN
Bwahahahahah!
Great video as always, and I agree with you on the fact that curved winglets look way nicer than the more flat and squared ones! Can’t wait to see more from you mate! ✈️ and hope you try Norwegian sometime, even tho it’s only short/medium haul!
Woah,I just woke up and new video came out! 😊 Once again,awesome video!
A350-1000 is just amazing! Wish to fly on it again😅 I can see that Qatar is the best way to fly to London.
Amazing video my friend, thanks for sharing and see you soon!😊
What A Beautiful Aircraft The Aircraft The A350 Are,I Love The Out Doors Cameras One A350.Great Trip Report
Thanks buddy! It’s a great aircraft indeed, I love it. The camera’s are the best, I love how there are 3!
Very nice relaxing report!
I think your comment re the plane type influencing the overall experience is spot on - you even seem to have got better food on the A350.
I think the food gets all made in the same place so it doesn’t matter much. But the product yes, it varies on the aircraft! there is a huge difference between the A330 and A350 😔
As usual....its a pleasure watching your videos....thanks bro
It’s always lovely to see you around!!!
Excellent video ❤❤
I always love the transition from Middle East to European countries. Both areas look so beautiful. And especially you describe small regions like the petroleum or the islands in Qatar is really good. Most important I love the way you focus on small details like while landing you noticed another airplane which is really rare to notice sometimes.
Is there any country which you haven’t ever covered in your vlogs and you’re planning to cover in upcoming months ?
Another great video in your repertoire! Waiting for Mum-NY AI video of yours. Will share my views then😊
Thanks!! And next video will be BOM-DEL on the B777-200LR, not to JFK… That is currently way too far out of my way..
Nice - Short n Sweet Video.
excellent report love your narration and good camera work
Very glad you enjoyed! 😃
Hey Alex, been a while since I watched your videos 😅. Great vlog, A350K is one of my favourite planes especially because of how fast and efficient it is and the rolls Royce Trent engines are just a bonus.
Hey Ali! Good to see you around again! besides being fat and efficient I also think it is a beautiful aircraft.. I would say it’s my favorite of al the new planes.
Hope to see you around soon!
Always love to se your trip reports, loved my week in Muro but looking forward to the next trip in 35 days. this time we go to Kap Verde😊
Wow, one long holiday isn’t it, lucky you!! I’ve never been there, one of the places yet to visit.
Welcome back home!
Thank you so much, Alex, for sharing with us your Qatar inflight experience! What a stunning jetliner the A35K! I liked so much the inflight service, with a great offer of beverages and food. And I agree with you, the A35K sharklet is fantastic! As I've already read, a sexy one! Greetings from Brazil
Always a pleasure my friend! The A350 has quickly become my favorite dual engined plane. Stunning! Greetings back from Dubai ✌️
Was waiting for this ♥️
There you go!
Great stuff as always mate, the usual Qatar experience and on the Airbus 350😍. Little jealous!!!! So enjoyed your BA review to im a lover for BA I’d choose British Airways but QR is a fantastic airline👏👏
I also would choose BA.. It was more fun.. I fly QR all the time and I like it. It’s good. But I just have more fun with BA crew as they’re more interactive. The rest of the product is almost the same.
@@TheLayoverAviation good to hear and yes I’m the same I would prefer a more fun but professional crew then a robot type of service. look forward to the next 👍
I would pick qtr as it is a very good airline, bad thing about BA is that it makes lots of delays and not my type. Have a safe one.@@TheLayoverAviation
The iconic Qatar airways welcome music is so soothing to the ears😍 Brings back memories
They’ve just changed it! It’s not there anymore 😞
It's so funny to read the name Zhong Chenle in your avgeek report. Thanks for this! ❤
I honestly had no idea who he was until that day!
Really incredible video buddy! Liked!
Thanks Jelmer!
Flying tomorrow to Amsterdam on the EK A380! 😊
I am glad you have more visit planned for LHR, we'll be in luck to meet you..
I usually stay minimal time as I want to return straight home to my family but if ever have some days I’ll write a post!
Hey great food! Happy tummy happy flight! 😊
Yes, happy tummy flight!! 😃
Thank You for uploading the video once again 😊🎉❤ what is your next flight video?
Next flight I’ll post the Air India B777-200LR with enclosable suites 😉
👌 AweSome 👌
BackGround
Music 🎶 🎵 😊
You are so knowledgeable
still have a lot to learn!
Your videos are always great
Thanks my friend! Glad you like them 😃
@TheLayoverAviation i really enjoy your all videos and love them. keep the good stuff coming.
Many incredible flights are yet to come!! Thanks for the nice words!
Amazing report as always, the quality and effort you put in is unmatched! Man i wish qatar would fly the A350 to manchester like before, the constant ex cathay 777 is getting old.
I’ve recently filmed the ex Cathay B777 and will try to publish it next month. I didn’t mind some change, but yes, QR’s own aircraft are better.. Hope they return to MAN soon!
Great indeed❤️👍👌✈️
Thanks buddy!
Hey my friend! Don't apologize! Excellent video as always! So consistent!! That what makes you stand out with head and shoulders above the others! Personally Ive become cautious about QR not the airline but their stance about Israel and what just took place...but that is political and I want to be cautious!
From my experience as captain with KLM it indeed comes down to the spirit of the team and I always prior to my flights had a pep talk with the whole onboard team and wanted to know one by one their troubles and joys before the flight for which I was always praised! That really makes the flight and reflects down to all passengers! Take a break my friend! You deserve it! Come to NZ!!!! I'll give you a grand tour! Hartelijke groet Flip.
Flip, always glad to see you around!! And as always very generous with the kind words.
And yes, regarding the stance of Qatar it is a sensitive topic, specially in this region. I’m however glad to see progress from most other countries around them as they are making small steps forward.
That’s some nice team building you did. I do the same for my team on a daily basis. I know that most of their performance on the day will depend on the transparency, empathy and approachability of their leadership on the day, so it’s a very nice thing you’ve been doing.
And that indeed reflects on passengers.
Me as a passenger I can spot a great team spirit from a toxic one in a flash. My most recent example was on Virgin Atlantic, boy are they a cool fun bunch.
I really want to come to NZ but it’s such a long time away from home! I’ve got some leave coming up but I can’t see myself 16 hours with my 3 year old in a plane 😅
thanks for writing and I send you my kindest regards!
The Abrupt 'Sir, be seated', as the aircraft taxis, is so typical along theses routes 😆
There is always one person who gets up during the taxi 🤣
Great review onboard Qatar Airways!
The Trent XWB engines on the A350 sounds surprising quiet during takeoff in real life as compared to hearing them from videos 😮
They are very quiet in both, 777 takeoffs tend to overwhelm camera microphones lol
Huge fan of your videos. One product I am looking for a good review on is the premium cabin in Etihad's A350-1000. Somehow I haven't been able to find a good video for this
Please consider reviewing more transatlantic flights in the future if possible! Thanks once again for the great video
I know, but I still have my job and family. TH-cam is just a hobby so it’s hard to go from Dubai to the US as it requires me to be gone for some days..
Excellent
Thanks!
Prima verslag zoals gebruikelijk bij jou!!
Begin november vliegen we van Doha naar Denpassar in de A350-1000 jammer genoeg in economic, business was veel te duur. (Misschien een goedkopere upgrade mogelijk 🤔)
Na onze reis naar Bali worden we ook "gold" member 🙂
Leuk, je vloog bijna over ons huis 🙂
Hey Patrick! Ik hoop dat je een upgrade email ontvangt voor de vlucht. Dat is de goedkopere optie. Maar op de vlucht naar Bali is het de nieuwe configuratie van de A35K met een kleinere Business en meer economy zitplaatsen.
Welcome in de high valued club! Gold in QR is echt kicken. De Gold en Platinum lounges in Doha zijn mooi.. Het service en product is precies het zelfde als in Al Mourjan. En de extra benefits met OneWorld zijn ook prima.
Ik ben zelf Platinum maar tussen Gold en Platinum is er wijnig verschil..
Dus alvast gefeliciteerd!
Hi , Loved your Content. Great trip reports!! Curious to know what do u capture this amazing content with?
hey buddy, thanks a lot!! I still film with an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Was trying to get a new phone but they’re out of stock 😔
Excellent shooting, the sound quality and views are just excellent. At 20:28 though you urge people to sit on the left side, when the view you were promoting is on the right!
Thanks for the nice words! Yes, sorry, lot’s of typo’s here and there, it happens. Thanks for the correction!
The A350’s flap sounds are genuinely like music to my ears, just like the General Electric’s GE90 startup and spool up.
Fantastic, I really enjoyed the London bound trip reports. Will you ever fly out from the UK in a trip report?
they’re awesome indeed, both sounds!
Of course I fly out from UK airports, I’ve got to return home too! But I don’t film all my video’s, I sometimes need to rest or work.
I’ve got LHR-BOM filmed on Virgin Atlantic, it will come out soon!
Nice video ❤
Thanks!!
Great Video As always Alex!. Btw when's the DXB-BOM emirates a380 trip report coming I'm eagerly waiting for it . Hope you're doing well😄😄
thanks buddy!
I’ll do my best to publish it this month.. It’s always so hard to decide to choose which video first, but it should be coming!
Next week Inshallah I have the same filght from Doha to London same Airbus😊
Very nice
Thanks!
Thanks for the video, Alex. What is your favourite cooking channel? Mine is Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. I also like to watch Man Fire food.
Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is nice and I don’t mind watching it, but it quite heavy American food! I love Chef’s table on netflix. If you watch the intro, you’ll get where I get some of my intro filming inspiration from!
I also loved “Man vs Food”. Sometimes I like to rewatch that.
Nice to see a new video!!! I prefer middle eastern carriers because of their comfort and service. I flew Turkish Airlines and its amazing!!
It makes a huge difference… But also in Asian carriers. Both are best in hospitality terms.
@TheLayoverAviation Can you share bit and tips on how you prepare for travel? Whether it’s clothing, accessories, favourite type of shoes etc…just for knowledge
Hey Great video as always! Just a question?🙌 What do you work with, as you have time to fly so much? Just curious 😊
I fly a lot for my work too! Almost no trip is one I’m doing without a purpose.
I work in a major hospitality and travel brand. Whatever I do, it always requires me to fly!
I've booked 17H and 18H,J,K (there's no I) on their a350-900 aircraft for my upcoming flight. It's the 2nd and 3rd row of economy, at the front of the wing. Hopefully it's far enough in front to still get a decent view.
Qr10 and Qr1 for my Lhr-doh legs, but both seem to be the a359 for my dates
Hey amigo! I like your videos so much, I follow you since a year and I always enjoy to watch. Also, I'm from Russia, I want to see your flight route to my country if it's possible. Maybe it can't be possible due to conflict, but if it's possible then it will be great because I want to see how you'll travel to Russia. Wish your channel be more popular! And thank you for what you do. ❤
Very happy to hear that amigo! Thanks for the comment.
I want to fly to Russia, but as you understand, it is very challenging now. Not only do I need to request for a visa and all that, but I will have A LOT of problems at customs all over the world. But I promise to keep trying!
Thanks for the nice words!
Thank you for your answer, I understand that there are difficulties, but I hope that you will succeed.@@TheLayoverAviation
18:21, I went there at the end of June for the 1st time toi visit and it's awesome.
Hi There , Thank you for making nice videos. I regularly follow your videos these days .
I have a request, could you pls shoot economy front seats(XL) ones where bassinets are placed and the leg length . I see alot of videos but this bit is always omitted .
I am travelling with an infant shortly on an Oman Air. Hence this information would be helpful for mother's like me. 😊
Thank you so much in advance!
LHR reveals some Qatar Airways A350s as part of the British Airways partnership,although they are not used except the A380s.
I would like to report these two companies on my TH-cam channel to understand which is truly the best. Great trip report!!
I hope you get the chance to fly them soon!
:)
Hi alex .am I the only one who thinks that Qr boarding music feels sad and brings tear 🙂it makes you think that your flight is going to crash 😂. Tbh I prefer the 2013 version .
Well, it’s the end for this song as it has just been updated..!
It’s now a bit less modern. I’ll show it soon!
Please make a video on Etihad A380 on AUH or LHR route
I’ll do my best!
The captain sounded rather cheerful there, which is not always the case with any carrier :-).
Perhaps very glad to go to London? I flew QR to Montreal the other day and the Captain sounded very happy!
Great video! Looking forward to your next Air India video. It was a quite a long wait this time and I am also commenting after quite some time. Do you have any plans to visit East Asia, you lack Japanese and Chinese content.
I know I lack content from there but I don’t really get to go often to Japan and China. China I haven’t been since 2018 and Japan I go twice a year. I think I’ll go again in November.
How do you know the details of the other planes information on the ground while you are inside the airplane 😊😊
Live plane tracking apps! I can see live flights as far as a year ago. Very simple 😊
Nice video.... i am flying with QAR 350/900 but i think the seat of 31K is not available. Really enjoyed your video. Nice presentation
It’s one of the first seats to disappear as it’s the best! But hopefully you find some other good seat with a good view.
By the way, I don’t know if 31AK also applies on the -900…
@@TheLayoverAviation . No it doesn't apply. its 3×3 configuration ... I have taken 16A which is window seats but over the wings but plenty of leg room as this is the first row in economy.
Thanks and keep it up .
Now i get it. U'r a foodie, hence this profession.
Please travel from dhaka to toronto in Biman Bangladesh Airlines
Qatar!!!
Again 😂
But I like it!
@@TheLayoverAviation I love Qatar as well, just need to fly with them for the first time.
I agree love the curved wingtip of the A350. It’s very unique and easily distinguishable. Love how you adore Indian food, maybe you have got some Indian somewhere in your genes 😜 Love the belly camera especially when the landing gear is down.
Did you know that there are 2 different wingtips on the A350? The older A350’s have a sharper and taller one why this one is a bit shorter yet sleeker. Have a look online!
@@TheLayoverAviation No I was not aware. So does the 900 have the smaller wing tips.
Hey wow .seems u have global visa to travel with any airline and In any nation..I love planes
I have a Spanish passport which makes it quite easy.. So yes, fortunate in that department.. 🙏
Thanks for watching!
22:32 concorde 😍😍
Hi alex im going to Italy within this 2 months and great video i think you remember me
Yes I remember! I hope you have a safe and worry free journey this time!
@@TheLayoverAviation this is my other account tho my account got deleted
Why do you like the longer Airbus A350? I have flown the 900 variant for the 1st time and it's good, but not the 1000, but hopefully 1 day, next year, I will fly the longer variant.
the -900 is nice but there is something about the massive -1000! It also requires more power to take off so it feels like a beast!
I see. The 1000 variant of a Airbus A350 is stronger than the Airbus A350-900.
Did you asked for the second meal? Wondering they never ask me to eat more 😂
yes I did ask for it! I was curious to try.
If there is extra, why not? It’s going to be thrown away anyway..
23:58 nice to hear a South African hostess speaking
I don’t think she was South African.. Maybe you heard a passenger?
Most crew were from the Indian Subcontinent, Kenya and some from Philippines if I remember well.
@@TheLayoverAviation trust me only a South African pronounce “fastened” and “thank you” in that way when they’re native tongue is Afrikaans 😂
Coming from a fellow South African
6:27 I was standing and this scared the shit out of me
did anyone spot the BA concorde while landing??
at 22:34
On flights to india, for us Indians service on carriers like BA and LH totally depends on how you look, unfortunately.
I don’t know. I think in most places it’s also mostly how you behave, not how one looks. I’ve worked a lot in hospitality and I’ve been spoken to very bad or impolite by some customers. My treatment to them will absolutely not be the same as to those that are kind and polite.
I’m flying every week a few times and I can see people acting like monsters to passengers and crew.
So no matter how your looks are, with politeness, kindness, a smile and “please” you’ll get far. Trust me.
what is the name of the music in the beginning?
The magnetic buzz - enjoy the ride
@@TheLayoverAviation thanks
What is the typical economy of Dubai vs. Doha, Qatar? Just oil? And what else?
Dubai doesn’t have any oil! It’s less then 1% of its economy. It’s mostly retail, tourism, banking, business, and specially aviation!
What was it before? Maritime trading and pearls????
Create Doha Mumbai video ❤
I hope to do that soon!
22:35 who else saw the concorde?
Epic!
24:40, Have you or your wife flown Malaysia airlines? You should try out and fly Malaysia airlines on your trip report soon. Negarku translate to my country in Malay.
Speaking of Malaysia, does your wife speak Malay?
Yes we have! I’ve flown a few times, even on the same day that the B777-200ER disappeared.. I’ll try to fly it in November as I need to go to KL.
My wife is Croatian, but she was in Malaysia for work.
I’m looking forward to go!
Nice. Really? No way. Hope your in a different Malaysia Airlines flight number. The old Malaysian Airlines, Boeing 777-200ER has been retired. The only plane that is active is the Airbus A330-300 and 200, Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 737-800. Before COVID, Malaysia Airlines used to fly to London 2 times weekly on the Airbus A380, but now, it is replacing the Airbus A350-900 because it's grounded, even after the pandemic, but I still see Malaysia Airlines, Airbus A380 in the parking stand. Okay good luck. Hope you fly Malaysia Airlines on the Airbus or Boeing when you have a connecting flight when the price is cheap to fly to Malaysia.
11:33 As an Indian who has lived in the UK for a year now, it boggles my mind how everything is a curry to them! No Britons, you have no understanding of Indian food haha! I understand it's geared to their palette but it makes me cringe when they say they have some of the best Indian food here and it's just 5-7 dishes that feature on every menu (that aren't even too big in India), with the same gravy as the base.
Although there are some hidden gems you can find in London as far as Indian food goes.
As someone who's lived there since 1999/2000, can say that Dubai is where the best Indian food is. I'm sure these guys have not even heard of a dosa, chaat, or some of our desserts, haha!
And Hounslow might be great for planespotting.. don't think its a great area otherwise haha. :)
Curries left and right, haha! Come on, it’s funny! All the food from all over the country, all that hard work and culture behind; one name for it all 😂
Dubai has great food indeed, but that’s thanks to the many people from India here and the proximity of the local produce. So it’s easy to make it.
And yes, Hounslow for spotting and ASDA. Don’t think I’ve done much else there 😉
@@TheLayoverAviation when someone says lets get a curry from a curryhouse over here, thats a red flag 😂😅
Too much of luxury spoils the mind. Hence watching in limit.
does anyone know the intro song
the magnetic buzz - join the ride
How much did you pay to fly Qatar airways to London? I am curious.
Hey Kevin. Around $400 one way from Dubai. It depends on the day, it keeps changing.
I see. Yeah if I book less than 1 month, before the trip, it can be cheap or expensive, depending on which airline I gonna take. You should include how much you pay to fly on your trip report.
You should try air India express sometime soon
I certainly hope so!
6:26 and who is this unruly passenger not seated just before takeoff?
25:27 Kenya Airways B787-9 from Nairobi.
How abt couriering to me or sending thru yr friends one of the Kit bags of these gorgeous Middle East Carriers. My Trevor use to tell me : Ask n u shall receive, Seek n u will find, Knock n the doors will b opened for u. So now send.
first
Always!
Thank you! haha @@TheLayoverAviation
ethiopian airlines pls
I’ve already got a video around, have a look!
I'm sorry this is an unpopular opinion: I don't like the new QR safety vid, i prefer the FCB one better
I never liked any of them 😆
There are many good Airlines on planet to do flight review on.
Why you are Uploading the same Airline video again and again.
I don’t do this for a living… I can only film whomever I fly with. I can’t afford tens of thousands of Euro’s to fly around for fun, I’ve got a job and family 😂
Feel free to pay me which ever airline you want me too fly!
@@TheLayoverAviation Ok sir,
I thought you do only TH-cam.
Apologies for that.
As an American citizens i used to travel in qatar alot. I love spending time there. Right now Americans or European, or any other countries traveling to qatar need to be careful. A country that gives money and safe haven for terrorist like hamas leaders. How do people trust to travel there? How do you know they not take us citizens as hostages? It's time for the world to isolate boycott Qatar.
I don't think most of the pilots understand Arabic to understand the prayer. Because most of them are Caucasian.
Qatar has lost a lot in terms of quality and service after the pandemic, dirty toilets, bad food and very often they use old planes on the routes I have flown.....
The good times is probably over, but as long as they can pay Scamtrax, they will probably be at the top of the rankings....
Out of most airlines QR crew look well after the toilets.. But yes, lots of old planes left in the fleet and it costs the same to fly those vs the new ones.. Specially me from Dubai I get each singe available plane in the fleet!
And yes, I don’t trust scamtrax either. But QR remains one of the best, specially in Qsuites.. But not the n1 in my opinion either.
6:29 why is there always that 💩 that disobey the rules….🙄
Part of it.. There are lots of people on QR that fly from places where flying isn’t something regular, it happens a lot and I’m a but understanding it it.. What to do!
Thanks bro
🙏
Hello @TheLayoverAviation I just wanted to ask what app you use to edit your video so i can edit my videos to be better.
thank you
Bro again I wish I was you😂
Nothing you want in life is impossible! I wanted to fly airplanes all the time and I kind of got what I wanted. So you can too!
Thanks
