QATAR AIRWAYS review: flying from Doha to London on the awesome A380
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 เม.ย. 2020
- In this review, I will share the full Qatar Airways A380 experience in Economy. Can the world's best airline meet my expectations on a flight from Doha, Qatar to London Heathrow?
Qatar Airways has been number one on my list of airlines to try ever since I began uploading flight reviews here on TH-cam. Thanks to a fantastic fare from Kuwait to Doha and on to London, I was able to try the airline during my recent Middle East trip. The airline which is a frequent winner of worlds best airline awards receives a great deal of praise. Will my Qatar Airways experience be everything that I hope? Join me as I travel from the home of Qatar Airways, Doha's Hamad International Airport to London Heathrow. I will share with you everything that you can expect from check in to landing and of course all that Qatar Airways has to offer in economy class on-board the gigantic Airbus A380. As always stick around at the end of the video for my final thoughts on the experience.

Yes.. the nerd here noticed the new font. It's nice, but I'll miss that rounded font you've used previously. :) Hope all is well, and you and the Mrs. are taking care of yourselves.
Good spot Brendan!
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr🐾
Excellent! QATAR is one of the first airlines I want to fly when we're able to get back in the sky! Great video, Blake!
I look forward to seeing your opinion from the pointy end for sure. I have a few ideas for trips as soon as we are able to fly.
Excellent trip report. That's a pretty light load A380 flight, and I'm impressed by the ground staff who recommended you a seat at the less crowded cabin in the lower deck when he saw you filming..
Always great seeing your videos...glad you have a backlog to keep pushing content. Stay safe. Stay healthy!
Glad that you enjoyed it. Unfortunately that was the last of my flight review footage but I do have a few ideas for aviation related content.
Blake Edgington - Airborne can’t wait to see what you come up with... you know we’ll watch it. We have nothing better to do right now :)
Nice new editing...Doha Airport looks nice...
It is a stunning airport, one of the best that I have visited.
Great Flight Report - I flew with Qatar 2 years ago from LHR to Phuket via Doha and back on B777-300, B787-8, A330 & A380 (lucky me). This was my only flight an A380 and it was so smooth and quiet. My wife was reading and didn’t even notice we had taken off it was that good. A great aircraft! I’ve just started by own channel, but don’t think it will be anything like yours. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next video.✈️
I am jealous that you were able to try so many aircraft types. Good luck with the channel.
Nice work! Really liked your views out the window on this one - and that breakfast! Cheers for posting!
I have so much footage that didn’t make the video. The views throughout were awesome.
I couldn't agree more about the ground staff. They know everything. No need to ask others about anything. Another good video. Informative and educational, rather than entertainment, which some other channels are.
Thank you Nicholas, the ground staff as I mentioned in the video were exceptional and got the trip off to a great start.
Great to have another video Blake. Been missing the weekly reviews (proxy virus) Another great review!!
I am missing them too.
Pure Excellence Mr. Edgington!
Thank you.
Great Video. I miss flying!
Me too. Can’t wait to get back in the air.
Love video like always
I am pleased 👍
I love Qatar my Airline of choice regardless of class, their crew are always exceptional. Brilliant report ..... as always!
Thanks Andy and after this experience I will certainly look for future flights with Qatar Airways.
proud to be the 300th like. great video
Thank you James. It was an incredible experience that I am pleased I was able to share.
Nice video! Yeah, Qatar is definitely an excellent airline! Really want to try both Emirates and Qatar's flight once we are able later! BTW love your video editing style too, which helped me to improve the quality of my upcoming videos as well :) Thanks and take care!
I am happy to help and highly recommend that you try Qatar Airways and Emirates which I have also reviewed.
What a delightful way of spending early hours of a Sunday, nice one Blake👍🏼
I can’t think of anything better Russell.
Qatar say here come and this great videos!
Thank you.
Fantastic report! Beautifully presented...
I really appreciate that, thank you.
Amidst all the negativity and scaremongering during this difficult time. You are one of a few folks in the internet world to remain positive and upbeat! You bring an anxious young man hope. 😁
I’m always delighted to be on an aircraft. Thanks Joe.
Great video as always,this is what most airlines don't even offer in business class.If you want to experience the complete opposite of Qatar try Cebu Pacific from MNL to DBX 10 hours in a cramped A330
I have seen a couple of reviews of Cebu Pacific and it certainly wouldn’t be an experience I am in a rush to try.
Another fantastic review mate. Well worth waiting for
Thanks mate. I will take a look at your latest video today.
As always great amount of detail! I also liked the little change in editing..
Good work mate!
Was not sure about making the change but its going down quite well thanks.
Missing your reviews so looking back over the old ones!
Thanks Steve, there are plenty to enjoy.
Every long haul economy should have fully visible high mounted power plugs. Loved the contrast from the desert to the snow! As always you make economy look great with your enthusiasm and Qatar definitely appears to deliver on their end as well for an excellent experience.
I agree, it’s much nicer having the power outlet on the seat back rather than on the frame near the floor which is usually filthy. Thanks for watching.
Awesome review :)
Thank you.
Came here from Jeb Brooks' channel, amazing content!
I am a big fan of Jeb Brooks. Thanks for coming over.
One more bang on review...kudos to you Blake.
I am happy that you enjoyed it.
Fantastic 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Best review video Ever.. Respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰. Many TH-camrs need to learn from you, I really appreciate your review & way of your explanation.
Thank you Umar. You are very kind and I am delighted that you enjoyed the video.
PROFESSIONAL JOB 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love your editing, very well done.This is without doubt the best Qatar Airways eco report that I have seen so far. I appreciate your effort, making a 17 minute video that feels like 5 minutes is an art and takes a lot of time to edit. And Qatar Airways? This is what a flight has to be like - attention to detail, excellent service by the crew and great food.
Wow you are too kind. I genuinely appreciate your feedback and I am glad that you enjoyed the video.
I read Qatar Airways have closed the 1st Class lounge in Doha....but have expanded some new routes including Doha to Brisbane here in Australia...basically trying to get people home during these most troubled times !! Re Lamp Bear...
Lamp Bear by Swiss artist Urs Fischer takes centre stage in the grand foyer leading to HIA's world-class duty-free hall. It is a 23-foot canary yellow teddy bear sculpted from bronze, that sits peacefully inside a lamp. It's a playful piece that humanises the space around it and reminds travellers of childhood or precious objects from home.
Lamp Bear welcomes guests at Doha's airport and celebrates the idea of travel, just as the artist celebrates travelling back in time to the symbols of childhood - a place we have all been to and where, once in a while, we like to go back.
It was also VERY expensive !! Could not agree more re the 380 take off...and the views in this part of the world are stunning !! No wonder they win so many awards in all classes of travel !! Flew Business Class with them some years ago and it was indeed the best flight I have ever taken...sorry flew 1st Class with Etihad which was pretty good...but Qatar is all class in all classes. Thanks mate and hope you are bearing up in these dreadful times !!
From what I have read Qatar Airways are doing an awful lot to support travel and assist passengers getting home at the moment. All credit to them and it's just another reason that I hold them in such high regard.
Blake needs like 1.4 Million subs from these vids. Keep up the good work!
You are too kind!
Awesome trip report, hope you enjoyed your flight, I’ve flown on Qatar’s A330, A340, A350, A380, 777 & 787, enjoyed all the flights and service, I have videos on my channel from some of the flights
Wow you are very lucky to have tried so many flights with Qatar Airways! I am a little jealous.
Amazing review as always! I thoroughly enjoy the new music and the new editing features you have brought in!
I’m always looking to improve and it’s nice to hear that you appreciate the changes.
When are you going back to videos, I really enjoy them.
Great video, Blake! I am a big fan of QR as well, in all classes; it's a pleasure to fly with them and to feel like a valued customer. What I really enjoyed is that you reviewed them in economy class. It just seems like so many vloggers out there are obsessed with flying "on the other side of the curtain" and often ignore economy. Well done!!
Don’t get me wrong, premium cabins are very enticing but I prefer to show the experience available to the majority of travellers. Thanks for watching.
First A380 I went on was with Qatar DOH>BKK in 2015, similar experiences as you! Great video once again Blake 👍🏻
What a great way to try the A380!
Haha, love the small jokes in here, also love the whole review! I hope you had a nice flight :)
Thank you it was an excellent trip.
good review i am going on this Airline from Sydney to london on the 29 jully Hope they are good
I am sure that you’ll have a great flight.
Loved the new editing and it was a fantastic video! Qatar look to be amazing and getting an empty flight is an excellent thing too.
Thank you, it was a brilliant ending to a fun few days in the Middle East.
Nice new editing! Love the music, what is the name of it? I could listen to it for hours on end! Great video Blake!
Thanks Ethan. The new intro music which was also featured during the flight is Thunderbird by Ooyy. If you mean the music I used in the airport that was Revive by Sture Zetterberg.
Amazing!!
Thank you 😊
I’d love to try Qatar some day.
Highly recommend it.
Fantastic video mate, cheers for the upload!
Glad that you enjoyed it.
I laughed at the WiFi “Ultimate Plan”. Sounds very Orwellian! Thanks again for including the seat width: as a plus size person, I often worry about fitting in seats comfortably. PS - I like the new intro music.
You are welcome, I am not sure why I have not included it previously to be honest.
Could this be the first review we've seen that didnt have a single con? Doesn't surprise me that it's Qatar who've won that 😂😂 Stellar review as always!
Haha I think that it was! I always look for something to improve on but couldn’t find anything on this trip.
I knew it had changed and nice work aswell . Loved the review and it does look a fantastic product at least on the a380 . Nice food entertainment etc . I will deffo fly them at some point . Cheers Blake superb as always
If you are able to you should certainly try Qatar Airways. I can't wait to be back in the air with them at some point.
Great review again Blake, love the new intro and logo!
I wrestled with making the change but I am happy with how it turned out.
Wonderful vid Blake! After listening to your final thoughts, Qatar sounds even better than what I already thought😝👍🏻
Haha thanks, I really appreciate you watching.
Super Video
Thanks for watching.
Entertaining & informative video. We have travelled 12 times long haul with Qatar past 3 years but anywhere to and from Australia is long haul. We have fortunate to only travelled business class including Q suite. Hopefully 2021 will see us flying again
Noel I am incredibly jealous of you right now. I would love to try business class with Qatar Airways.
Can’t really go wrong with QR - loving your new editing format and have you changed your equipment? The video clarity seems excellent!
I upgraded my phone to an iPhone 11 Pro Max before this trip. All of the footage was recorded in 4K but my laptop can’t handle the size of the files. I have to convert it to HD but the quality does seem better even with this.
First class review Blake, thanks for posting. It reminds us all of better times! I`ve not had the pleasure of flying with Qatar Airways, but I`m getting a sense of them being more consistent than Emirates . Having such high expectations is always a danger, but in this case they didn`t let you down on any aspect ofthe offering.
I will have to fly them a few more times to check for consistency which is something that I definitely plan on doing 😉
Nice new intro and vid also I know why it's Qatar because it rhymes with doha
Hmmm, I am not sure that the country is named one of its cities.
Hey! Loved the video; a random question was there a lot of turbulence or not? Kinda scared will be flying with them soon.
We had a little turbulence about half way through but nothing major. You will have a great flight I’m sure.
Great video Blake! The airport looks exceptional! I'm also a fan of the darker tones of the terminal. Hope to get out there one day myself!
If you get the opportunity I definitely recommend a visit. I will certainly be back in Doha as soon as I can.
Wonderful video Blake. Having flown 4 of these Qatar A380s I can definitely say that it's a nice experience. My favourite seats were either 68D on the lower deck (thanks to the missing seat in front due to the crew rest emergency exit hatch) or 25A on the upper deck (an exit row bulkhead seat with endless legroom). Upper deck is better in my opinion due to the roomier 2-4-2 layout.
I have been lucky enough to fly upper deck with Emirates and it’s a great experience. I could have sat upstairs on this one but the cabin was busy up there so chose the quieter part of the plane.
Qatar Airways ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A wonderful video and well worth the wait after yesterday’s technical gremlins. I’ve not flown with Qatar but would certainly consider doing so. I wonder if anybody in the Airborne community has any views on flying them between the UK and Australia? Until we can all fly again - stay safe, take care and much love to you all. It might be lockdown for most of us, but we should be productive - so #letsgetgoing Thanks for a wonderful channel, Blake.
Thanks Simon I am glad that it was worth the wait. I would definitely fly Qatar Airways to Australia if I had the chance.
Looks like a great experience. 👍 I flew this same leg but in reverse, Heathrow - Doha, in October 2019. I really enjoyed it too. Although unlike your flight, the economy cabin was full. Can’t beat the A380! I tried to get in the upper cabin but was told it’s reserved for high status frequent flyers - so you did well to have that offered.
I really like Doha Airport with the exception that I don’t think there’s many spots you can get a decent view of the tarmac and aircraft. 🤔
You definitely have to try their A350. Another great aircraft. Their 787 is okay but you get a little less seat width. 💺
You are spot on about upper deck, the check in agent explained it to me but was so helpful it was incredible. I will be back onboard Qatar Airways again for sure.
Amazing review! Qatar Airways Is my favorite airline, as well as the A380! It’s amazing!
If you’re flying them again, I’d highly recommend you to eye A380 & A350 flights, and avoid the B787.
I have heard that the 787 is not as comfortable as the airbus aircraft. It does fly from my local airport though so may give it a try at some point anyway.
Great video, but I definitely think you need to give them another try when flights go back to normal and are fuller just to get a taste of a full/regular flight service, when the flight is empty the crew have more time to spend on you 👍🏻
Oh for sure. As I mentioned in the video I will look to try Qatar Airlines again in future. That being said, from what I have heard the crew are some of the best in the sky no matter how busy the flight is.
I have only been on the emitares A380 and i thought the best economy area was the first part of the lower deck as it had plenty of places to stand up and stretch your legs, Yes the A380 is a dream to fly and i just hope not too many of them will be retired from service due to the current situation.
I had a few walks around the cabin and it was very spacious near the front as you mentioned. Sadly several airlines will likely retire their A380's sooner rather than later but the likes of Emirates will have them flying for a while yet.
I have flown to Manila via Doha on Qatar and agree they provide a fantastic service not far short of Singapore Air. The one thing that really gets me is their religious intolerance exemplified by the chicken sausage rather than a decent pork sausage. Also not forgetting that Doha airport cannot compare with Changi.
Personally I have no issue with an airline serving chicken in line with religion. It tasted nice!
@@BlakeEdgington The chicken sausage was just an example although it is true I find them inferior to a decent pork sausage. It's the principle of religious discrimination against all religions bar one even though all other airlines accommodate that religion.
Can you do Qatars business on the A380
How much time it take doha to uk
Flight time is shown in the review and in the description
You look like my science teacher
Awesome!
Old video?
This was filmed in February 2020 so not too old.
Is it just me who can here something which sounds like a a woman going ‘EYEF’ when the map with the route comes up???
Haha I have had that audio for over a year and you are the first person to mention it! It’s a recording of the audio during boarding of a flight.
Blake Edgington - Airborne - this clears up so much for me it’s always bugged me what it was from the first time I watched your videos haha
PROFESSIONAL JOB 💜 EXCELLENT SERVICE ❤️ CONGRATULATIONS 💙 VVIP 🤎 HERO 🖤 FANTASTIC 💛 EXPERIENCE ❤️ GOOD LUCK 🤎
