Economy on the upper deck is always better, apart from extra storage from window seat, also 2-4-2 configuration is better the 3-4-3, 1 person less to pass by if a window passenger go in and out of their seat.
I had that same long walk through the lower deck ! I believe that it was to avoid the disappointment of not having access to the Bar in front of the curtain ! Unfortunately and partly due to my Naivety I was lumbered with a inside seat in the middle aisle (which is 4) ! absolutely dreadful experience
I liked the way you worked the menu into this footage. Food looked great. Qatar looks very solid in the air, even in the back, but customer service on the ground (or on the phone) is attracting much criticism and that's why, with Avios to burn, I'll be waiting another year before flying with them again.
You want some good food in economy, fly Air France. Others are hit or miss or worse. Best if you have the most limited expectations of cuisine in Coach and you wont be disappointed or just bring some decent food you get in the departure terminal in and eat it on your flight. This is the smart move if you really want something better than edible.
@Shepard Smith I flew AF Economy just before the pandemic. The food was good and filling. But I flew BA long-haul a couple of days ago and BA ........ topped AF.
Great report again! I’m glad to see Qatar Airways still serves appetiser, provides amenity kits and gives pre-arrival snacks! Qatar Airways is truely a “world class” airlines.
The next time I travel to Asia, I will have to route through Atlanta in order to experience this flight. The longest 747 flight in the world, on a Korean Air 747-8, which I've never tried before. This would be magical!
flew A380 upper deck economy from DOH-LHR back in january and although I was stuck in a middle seat the entertainment and food were great. Coming off a great qsuite flight it was quite a shock though
i was on that exact flight and it was amazing but 1 thing to keep in mind is if you on the upper deck at the back of the plane your last off so make sure you have time for your connecting flight
Lovely too see. Take this flight every month. Always pick 30 J at the emerg. door. Always great to sit upstairs. More quiet. Not so many passengers. :D Qatar service is Top.
I am always impressed with Qatar. Never have I had a bad exp on Qatar. Last year around Nov I flew economy from SIN to Doha on a350 and then business class on their a380 and boy was I spoilt between Doha and Paris!.
Recently flew with Qatar from Dhaka-Doha and Upto Montréal ( first plane trip too ). However, I was really surprised that their economy class was super comfy as like business seats. Service was good as usual too👍
YAWN 380 BORING.its only been out for so many years 747 has class style which the 380 sadly lacks THE ANTALOV has more style and that's a transport plane I would the GALAXY even before the 380 AND the BOEING transport plane
Most flights I’ve taken with QR involved long bus transfers at Hamad airport where pax are packed like sardines and kept waiting for ages to board. And when I faced an 8-hour delay all they offered was about $10 to spend at the airport - not enough for any meal at all in the overpriced food court. Let alone the fact that they are the state airline of a sponsor of Hamas terrorism. I do not get why anyone would glorify them… good marketing that I’ll grant
Definitely a miss for me. Why make a long flight even longer with a stopover in Qatar!? The food looked incredibly basic as well. And that leg room is far from 'excellent' I'm afraid. Average to alright at best for the price.
Has 380 series aircrafts have automatic systems to switch off the entertainment Tv screens on landing The people who travel just walk of the aircrafts without disengage ing tbe T V screens
While airline meals are not known for quality I will never understand how so many airlines serve greek yogurt (it is disgusting) and anything with Mango
As cool as the A380 is, I still think it’s overhyped. People had choice words for Qatar’s CEO when he made negative comments on the plane and the flying public (and aviation vloggers) worship the superjumbo like god. The A350 has and does everything the A380 wins so much praise for, but I don’t ever hear people going out of their way, or pay a premium, to fly an A350. Emirates has played a big role in how the flying public feel about the 380 imo. That said, I’ve set myself an avgeek goal to fly on as many remaining A380s as I can. Now Qatar’s A350s are coming back in force, the QR A380s days are numbered. I’m looking to fly this exact route next year, so very convenient video!
@@12345anton6789 Well, I’ll be back on an A380 for this first time in 8 years this December. Looking forward to see if all the praise is true. I’m not saying I don’t like the A380, I really do.
Still haven't tried Qatar A380 Economy, but I hope to try it this summer if I ever get the chance to! Edit: I never got to try it at all 😔 but I can sense that ONE day, I’ll fly on QR’s Economy on the A380. I seriously want to try them internationally (10+ hours flight).
The idea of having a 2 instead of a 3 across is great but lets say you have limited time to make a connecting flight do you really think you can make it with 500 people trying to deplane on your flight? Good luck. If anyone has been on a 380 in economy and tried to transfer with limited time, please chime in and let us know your experience. When I fly coach and am trying to do this, I always try to get in the first few rows of the forward economy section or better, be in premium economy.
The hallmark of super airlines inflight service, is best judged by the quality of offerings in their basic economy section, starting with food and beverages, seating comfort, entertainment and amenity products, cleanliness right through to flight crew attentiveness, care and professionalism. To this extent, Singapore, Qatar, Emirates, Air New Zealand, Qantas and EVA Air are skies above the rest.
Great video! One thing I'd love to know is if the leg room on the lower deck is the same as the upper deck? We are hoping to fly next year to Bangkok with Qatar. I love the hustle and bustle of planes though and think the upper deck might be too peaceful for our liking (2 adults and 2 children) so would probably prefer the lower deck.
If this video was shot on the 27th of Jan 2023, which I think it is but could be wrong (I can’t clearly see the departure boards at the start of the video) than I would have been on that aircraft’s inbound flight from DOH! I was at seat 75C
I flew many times on QA in the 2007-2009 both on economy and business. Then there was only one direct flight from SG to Doha departing after midnight. Looking at the food now alone, QA has come a long way in improving their services. The economy food then was almost inedible and for business class, I was so tired of their breakfasts which was mainly bakeries and cereals, no eggs, no omelette and the menu for both classes didn’t vary.throughout those flights during that period. I was once served red wine than had gone rancid. What made it worse was the business lounge in Changi Airport was hardly service attended to with bare amount of remaining food leftover from the day. I never understood why then QA was still voted best airline.
I flew economy on a China Southern plane upper level and it was the best economy ever. Large side storage cubby and pretty small number of seats in that area.
I was lucky enough to fly from Doha to London back in January on upper deck economy on a bulkhead seat at 25K. I believe one of the best seats in the entire plane.
Really enjoyed it! I always find it hard to resist a Qatar Airways business class flight but wow, this video actually makes me want to finally try out their economy!
2:11 crazy to think how time flies, I still remember the first week of operation at the airport when i was six years old, and now the airport is closing in on their 17th birthday this september
Economy on the upper deck is always better, apart from extra storage from window seat, also 2-4-2 configuration is better the 3-4-3, 1 person less to pass by if a window passenger go in and out of their seat.
You think so like me, As i choose First seat on long flight just i have to Use lavotory and and short haul flights i choose window seat😂
Is the upper floor quieter than the lower one?
@@f5z-.4waakwsgd17 Yes, it is less quiet and a smoother flight if you choose upper deck!
Great minds think alike
I flew Qatar A 380 Upper Deck once. It's smaller and quieter cabin with quicker access to meals and WC's. Highly recommended.
Hmmm very yummy dinner... 😋!
The boarding music is so nostalgic 🥲
I had that same long walk through the lower deck ! I believe that it was to avoid the disappointment of not having access to the Bar in front of the curtain ! Unfortunately and partly due to my Naivety I was lumbered with a inside seat in the middle aisle (which is 4) ! absolutely dreadful experience
Great Trip report 😃Amazing how quiet the A380 is on the upper deck 😄
Good
Please do Kuwait airways as a brutally honest episode
Rough landing

Yes good airline in the skies but on the ground its the worst l have ever experienced

Yes this must have been a rude awakening. Hard to believe you are on the same flight. N'est Pas?
I wish Thai Airways would bring back their Airbus 380's
True i miss the old days
i was on that exact flight and it was amazing but 1 thing to keep in mind is if you on the upper deck at the back of the plane your last off so make sure you have time for your connecting flight
Please 🦒
?????@@PaulPhilbin-wu5ny
Great report as always, thanks a lot ! I never flew in an A380 yet but I'll try to do it this year ! 🙂
I really love the Qatar airways food tray, looks so colorful and packed.
Their food is hit or miss but it will keep you fed. Period.
Lovely too see. Take this flight every month. Always pick 30 J at the emerg. door. Always great to sit upstairs. More quiet. Not so many passengers. :D Qatar service is Top.
I always wanted to try upper deck economy in Emirates A380 can anyone of you tell me which seat to choose for that
Its available only on a few flights.....
Oh man an A380 vid!......thanks alot felix :D
I’ve always wanted to travel on the upper deck of a plane ❤
I flew on the upper deck of a 747. Not much different from lower deck, except fewer passengers!
Us bro
Just flew BKK-HKT with Thai Smile and see the QR380 when departing. What a funny coincidence that you uploaded this now 😊
I am always impressed with Qatar. Never have I had a bad exp on Qatar. Last year around Nov I flew economy from SIN to Doha on a350 and then business class on their a380 and boy was I spoilt between Doha and Paris!.
Well that's a pretty long flight
Yes, I guess the upper deck economy class is quite nice!
Recently flew with Qatar from Dhaka-Doha and Upto Montréal ( first plane trip too ). However, I was really surprised that their economy class was super comfy as like business seats. Service was good as usual too👍
Suvarnabhumi airport is one of my faviourte airports

Great flight on A380 economy upper deck. Your dinner have plenty of Purple colour with the maroon cabin lightings.
I took this exact trip last year, Bangkok-Doha on A380.
If i get FRUIT as desert on a flight I would be so pissed off, and look at the crappy size of that!!
Nice one, recently flew with them and it was solid
Qatar 🇶🇦
Quite 🍷
The dashes you put in the description strike out the text and it isn't easy to read. Can you change it?
Qatar Airways also Illumination Characters in the plane.❤

The Airbus 380 is just a very comfertable aircraft to fly on, even in economy. Far more comfertable than most. The Boeing 747-8I is the hyped up one.
Wouldn’t say they’re numbered, they’ll still be flying until the 777x most likely
@@deenmujagic5462 . There’s no guarantee the 777X will ever enter service .
It’s in economy class that the A380 really shines, plenty of personal space and of course by having the quietest cabin by any aircraft.
@@12345anton6789 Well, I’ll be back on an A380 for this first time in 8 years this December. Looking forward to see if all the praise is true. I’m not saying I don’t like the A380, I really do.
That horrible and cheese music before take off is yours or was the cabin background?
Cabin background
@@smilesmite6682 Qatar Airways must hire a music advisor...
@@laprovisional2635 yeah emirates music is much better!!
Awesome video!
nice
I agree that the A380 is a beast. 🙂
I've flown it in 2012 and 2017, 5 times in total and the flights were really smooth and quiet.
How does one book economy on the upper level? Does one have to have a higher tier booking?
Just took same flight out of BKK 😂 two rows down in upper deck
love the vids you make my feel like im with you in the plane as i haven't flown int in 5 y
Bro,every day you flying,you too rich 👀
Most planes have entertainment to still nothing special I'm still waiting
Wow all planes have light and vents above the seat nothing special neither the leg room to
There is so much waste produced with all these packages each passenger gets
Nice video👍👍
Have you ever seen any one use the coat hook you all ways show it but who uses it
Day 1 of telling simply aviation to fly Ugandan airlines
Still haven't tried Qatar A380 Economy, but I hope to try it this summer if I ever get the chance to!
Edit: I never got to try it at all 😔 but I can sense that ONE day, I’ll fly on QR’s Economy on the A380. I seriously want to try them internationally (10+ hours flight).
Feels strange to be this early...
lol
I can’t wait to finally fly on a a380 in august

Flew KUL-LHR-KUL with MH Many times..mainly upper deck economy and a few times business.. Brilliant but sadly A350 only nowadays.

Although you appreciate the Qatar A380, the owner hates it and as you know CEO said buying the A380 was the biggest mistake made by QR

Qatar is great plane and excellent service but weird should be expected middle east food here than Malaysia food

do you use air miles for your flights?
How we paid for each flight is always listed in the description of the video! :)
Qatar is another airline that has amazing catering in economy class. Good job Qatar.
Emirates catering is much better
That upper-level seat is fantastic with the 2-4-2 and the storage.
I got the same seat as you when I flew to Sydney back in 2016!
Did economy passengers on the upper deck board before the rest of the economy passengers or were they one of the last to board?
Wow I never been to upper deck but I will go to one day
Dinner s are still rubbish
Oooo never realized Qatar brought the 380 back out yessss!
2:11 crazy to think how time flies, I still remember the first week of operation at the airport when i was six years old, and now the airport is closing in on their 17th birthday this september
You should have tried their mango juice. Delicious!
Go Qatar 🇶🇦go!
why qatar airways never use a380 to hong kong
That boarding music is wonderful....
❤Qatar Airways
✈✈✈
simply aviation go to ethiopian airlines domistic flight pls pls
Excellnt review on the A380 and Qatar!
Love the A380 content
I like the Economy seat on the other A380 more than this one
EARLY
wow a lot of food trips on a 6 hour flight!
Wowowowowowow I'm from thailand
why did you not upload bangkok air
Finally Back :D
I love how it has A330 configuration on the upper deck. Do other airlines have this
Yes, all airlines that have Economy Class on the Upper Deck have a 2-4-2 because the Upper Deck isn’t as wide as the Lower Deck.
Exciting and glamorous
Do business class on Qatar pls
Cape Town..my city!!
An amenity kit in economy! Wow!
