- 15% EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT ON GREAT LUGGAGE
In this report I am partnering with luggage company LEVEL8.
You can purchase any item of Level8 with a 15% discount through my LINK: www.anrdoezrs.net/click-10100...
and then use DISCOUNT CODE "travelsingfly15" at checkout before paying.
Level8 asked if I'd like to try some of their bags - and what I got was two beautiful pieces of luggage: The Level8 Voyageur 28" is my ckecked luggage in this report and the Gibraltar aluminum trolley is my carry-on luggage. Both are great but I really LOVE the aluminum trolley, which has an incredibly high quality, while the Voyageur has a really practical design.
It's the 2nd time I accept a product at all to be presented on my channel, because I am really picky about these things and I don't want my channel to be too commercial. But here you get a good product.
▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Qatar Airways' quality is dropping like a rock" - this and other things have recently been the headlines of many TH-camrs. So I will check for you whether this isn't just clickbait again. And the result was: Well, take a look for yourself. We'll check every box - and I'll also explain how you can fly here without being a top earner or having it paid for by the company.
There's a few valuable tips for booking QATAR Airways - and you can win something nice today. More about that in the report.

Thanks for watching this report about Qatar Airways and QSuite
Every time you post a new report I already know I will have a good time. No matter your report is either positive or negative you make it with grace and fun that it is a joy to watch it. Hoping your channel gets all the recognition it deserves💪👍
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment!
I often find other reviewers board their flight with an attitude and are waiting for something to complain about or trying to fabricate drama. A little kindness goes a long way and greatly affects how you are treated in return. Thank you for treating people with respect and care.
The new website looks great!!! 😉
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment, and for the complements for my Website! 😊😊😊
Love your channel! Just discovered it today. Thank you for the videos so far
Thank you so much! Have a look at the Playlists! A lot to discover. Almost all my aviation videos show airline cabins as they are right now, so they're fully up to date! Enjoy watching 😊
And a warm welcome to TravelSingFly
Love your trip reports. Thank you as always
Wonderful film Christian!!! Thanks for the information!!!
This is a great report like usual. Thank you so much 👍🏼
The usual excellent review. Thanks again.
Yoo hoo Chris..I'm a new subscriber..why have I only just discovered you? The Thinking Man and Woman's content creator. Your channel is a joy to watch. So informative, hilarious at times and from someone who shares my aesthetic and approach to life. I'm very grateful.
Oh thank you so much for this beautiful feedback, Ben! Welcome to TravelSingFly! Please share your great experience with friends on social media! I hope this year will bring in more viewers just like you who enjoy my content and stay with me on this journey 😊
Great review as always 😊
thank you so much for this trip reports
Tamdao by Diptyque is my all time favourite perfume. such a fabulous score for Qatar to feature it, and a lovely and sophisticated soft product offering. i also think it's very clever - it's an incredibly soothing and cuddly perfume, and strangers and friends alike almost always seem to lean in and ask what it is (and all of my dogs have particularly loved it!), so i can only imagine that having it waft through the cabin makes for an even more peaceful atmosphere, and calmer customers. gotta love crowd control through top notch perfume! wishing you safe and wonderful travels, and all the best. your videos are a delight, thank you 🌻
Thank you for this beautiful contribution!
I love how even your dogs are Dyptique fan. And thanks for the feedback on my report. Please spread the word and share on social media if you liked it!
Wonderfully comprehensive video! I especially appreciated the distinction between the various seats on the different airplanes. What is the link to the luggage and discount code you mention in your video? I don't see it in the description. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback very much! 😊
Regarding the luggage: I really forgot to put it in my video description.... That's how non-commercial I think! 🙈
But thanks to you now I put the text in the description, including zur discount code. It's really great luggage, I can only recommend it. Especially the aluminum hand luggage, but also the large one.
Thank you again and cheers!
Chris
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition I found the link in one of your other videos and ordered a carry-on! Looking forward to the delivery. Thanks for a great tip and discount code!
Fantastic review of the Q suite. I love the way you show the menu and drinks list, the food looked great and the wine list too, which is important if like me, you want to experience great food and wine, us Aussies do appreciate good wine! The service looked amazing and well the Q suite is amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Despite all clichés, it is a great airline when it comes to service to food / drinks quality. Not when it comes to politics, unfortunately.....
Nice trip report! I agree that one reviewer’s review of Qatar Airways was just exaggerated and that person only uses negative reviews to gain many views and attention. Thank you for your honest review!
Thank so so much for watching and sharing your ideas!
Great review Christian ❤
Great video again. In Frankfurt, u may choose to use Japan Airline lounge at the same terminal but opposite end.
That's true. I didn't talk about it this time. I mentioned it in my report about Srilankan Airlines.... - but to be honest, the JAL Lounge is far better but also not exactly breathtaking... No idea why that is Frankfurt. Frankfurt is just not a great lounge airport - except for the Lufthansa First Class Lounges and Terminal
Excellent review as usual Chris ! QR q suites can be really top notch on a good flight. Lets hope they are regaining their high standards
I think there's not much to regain. People, also flight staff, must be allowed to be human.... Some passengers forget that.
Great report of an Airline especially good in Business Class!
Great video , which camera do you use to film ?
As long as this channel is the financial disaster that is still is (quality content doesn't mean many viewers or thus success, unfortunately), I keep it very simple and try to get the best possible quality that I can get for a rather low budget. I use a DJI actioncam and phone basically.
Well done another excellent report as always. Good to see another take on the current state of Qatar. Nice touch with the menus and wine list. I look forward to trying Q-suites some time.
Thank you dear John! For the past 3 year I've included the menus in almost every reportx, with a special slideshow, if proper menus were handed out, so it's nice to hear it's appreciated. 😊
Great video Chris. Largely through Miles, we have just done Stockholm-Doha-Adelaide and back on the 787-800 and 777 QSuite. 787 was really good, with a lovely crew. My wife and I had window seats, and the crew then set up lunch for us together in the middle seats. Top marks. Doha-Adelaide was full both ways. Seat and food/drink were excellent, but service was different. Out from Doha, the crew were stressed, and it showed. Back from Adelaide, they were in total control and it was fantastic. As always, the crew makes or breaks it. Qatar lounges in Stockholm and Adelaide are really poor by comparison. They used to use the Qantas lounge but now use the Pearl; really not good and lets them down. Qatar are still a class act, and Doha is a breeze: the new Garden Lounge is really good.
Thank you so much for this comment and for sharing your experience! Beautiful!
Thanks for a very professional video again. I love to fly with Qatar airways and always got nice service. Last time I flew from Qatar to Oslo they change aircraft in last minute and my Qsuite experience disappeared.
Thank you very much for the compliments! Yes that's the risk with Qatar: their frequent aircraft changes....
Congratulations on the video. I just wanted to point out that my Avios with Iberia can´t be transfered to the Qatar account. I spoke with Iberia and was told that at present i won´t be able to do it bu t curious enough you could do the transfer i you were a frequent flyer of BA.
Hi! The way to do that is transferring the Avios first to British Airways Executive Club. From there you can transfer them to Qatar Privilege Club.
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition
Thank you very much!
Hi! I will watch the video with a lot of expectation: until a few months ago, I would have surely booked a fly with Qatar, but since I live in Italy and my next trips will likely be to Japan, I have seen that they have changed the types of flights, they are doing almost everything as a "codeshare" thing with JAL (which in itself it is not a bad thing) and thus the chances for me to have a Qsuite on the longest leg (from Doha to Japan) are drastically reduced.... and the price has steeped up.... the quality of services is said to have dropped too...also the times of departure ad arrivals for the flights I would like to use are very odd unless one flies with a VERY overpriced option flight.... how is it? and why did they change so much?
I agree the prices have skyrocketed. Also they still change aircraft all the time. For the rest wait until the video. Thanks for being on board this channel!
Chris
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition I will wait for the video then! And maybe after that, I will post some more questions... 😅
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition After seeing the video:
WHEN everything is all right and one really gets the Qsuite then everything is probably under control (save a "last minute plane change" because it still happens a lot)! The overall service seems to have recovered a bit since some "devastating" reviews...
BUT for me, from Italy to Japan there is NO WAY to fly on a Qsuite: from Italy to Doha the flight is relatively short, thus no Qsuite at all, AND every outbound flight from Doha to Tokyo (Haneda) I have found until now seems to be operated in code-share with JAL..... while JAL is very good itself, there is NO Qsuite at all and the seats assigned to codeshare travellers are NOT the ones (in Skysuite) near the windows....
Just add the price increase and horrible times of departure and arrivals (in Japan after the 23:00 almost everything but the bare essential services is NOT available....)
Sadly my "dream" of flying in Qsuite to Japan has been ruined....😅
Always love your presentations, informative, entertaining and down teartb
Down to earth. Didn't realise I'd pressed send. I'm looking forward to trying your website.
Qsuites are the best. We flew Qsuites last month and had amazing experience. Also, we had no issues with baggage allowance.
A wonderfully kind and humane review
Thank you very much. That's exactly what I want it to be 🙏🏻
I'm sadly not active on any META platforms anymore - would have loved to enter the giveaway 😢But apart from that; very nice and balanced review. You clearly put quite a bit of thought and time into this review. Those little interludes (eg; showing the (drinks)menu with the closeup slo-mo of the champagne/swirling glass of wine) looked visually stunning. Keep it going. Hope your account gains more followers in the future. Feels like a fresh breath of air; no clickbait, no drama.
EDIT; I had the pleasure to fly C on QR from BRU to BKK and from HKG back to BRU back in 2023. It was on their "older" 788 and 380 seats, but I still enjoyed the experience a lot. It's not the most private seat, but if you consider the soft product, its still very much worth it and still a comfortable flight. I've also noticed that their fares skyrocketed recently, which is a shame. My previous itinerary, I've managed to book for about 1600 euros, but right now it its at least 3500, going up to 5000. Yikes
Thank you so much for this wonderful, dedicated feedback. In fact I really take a lot of time to make a report that's fair and realistic and especially valid for longer than a month. This isn't my job but a huge passion gone wild - so I guess I can afford doing the extra work while not thinking about having to have shocking news to attract more views and therefore survive financially. But of course I hippie that mir people will watch my reports as is like them to see the real picture, down to earth and without attitude...
Thank you again very much!

Thank you again, Chris. Lovely report and agree with everything that you are saying. I am a regular traveller on Qatar and have experienced most of the seats but not yet the 350/1000 Q Suite. It looks excellent. As wonderful as First class in their A380 is, that Q suite seems much more preferable. No Al Safwa First Lounge of course but the flight experience might compensate.
True. If you're not an incredibly silly foodie as I am, QSuite (where the food is also really good, though!) wins over QR First right now
If you travel in business class, I think you can purchase access to Al Safwa lounge. :)
I flew in a QSuite from Doha to London 4 days ago, and it lived up to expectations, for the most part. Good food, excellent wine, although I didn't think the port was all that good. The one slightly false note - to me - was when one of the cabin crew put her head round the door before take off, and said she'd like to get a champagne flute and come and sit next to me. I realise this was a joke of course, but I still found it slightly disconcerting. But perhaps I'm just being hypersensitive. I look forward to the next time I get to fly with them.
I find that very refreshing actually. There's generic behavior everywhere anyway. Be happy you had a real person there 😊
I don't understand why that is a negative thing to experience. It seems so refreshingly real and personable. Mileage varies, I guess. Like the OP said, "Be happy you had a real person there."
i love qatar airways been awhile but oh boy q suite il always pick reverse seat
Last month I flew Qutar to Saigon. The service was excellent. My only issue was , close to the end of the flight the bathroom was a disgusting mess.
Oh that's not nice. A bad plane bathroom is a horrible thing. I don't envy the staff for doing what they have to do regularly during a flight.....
Some of us can agree to some extent that Josh Cahill is a bit of a drama queen sometimes. His complaints and 'misfortunes' are the selling point of his channel.
I have unsubscribed from Josh Cahill’s channel as it looks like he has agenda against some airlines. I flew Qsuites last month and was the best experience I had.
@@ileshpatel390 we know his "incident" of him n Qatar.
this is so true
@@ileshpatel390Josh Cahill is a shakedown guy! He was trying to shake them down for upgrades and special deals, but Mr Al Baker had non of it!
Well, his strength is showing airlines that don't come up very much elsewhere.
I hippie to get a substantial amount of viewers and views soon - I'd love to give balanced reviews about more airlines worldwide. But for being able to afford all that (my work here is pure passion but financially a disaster of course), the channel needs to grow first......
Josh Cahill is a shakedown guy! I never liked him. He was trying to shake Qatar Airways down by silly nitpicking, to get upgrades and special deals, but Mr Al Baker had non of it!
I don't think that Josh is looking for upgrades. He's not the premium-class kind of guy. I know he likes to get a few drama moments, as in the end that's what people click at - but he likes to fly all kinds of airlines and classes, just like me. And we must admit that his content is really interesting, especially when it comes to very exotic airlines in remote countries. I was not really focusing on him but on a few reports in general that aim at clickbaiting no matter what. I try to keep things open and fair. So I appreciate it you like my non-sponsored, all self-financed content!
They have a shuttle that goes up most of the way, and then there's another car that goes future up to the villas. But I admit, there's quite some stairs involved too
Qatar airways quality is DROPPING. They no longer let you select both soup and appetizer. They were missing drinks from the menu on board .The chocolate box that has has room for two chocolates, now has one (too cheap to change box??). The ground staff enforces 15kg carry on for business class passengers (I have not seen this on any other biz class) and is just indifferent to passenger (could not be bothered to explain how to get into lounge).
So qutar airways is being penny wise and pound foolish. Its quality IS DROPPING (emphasis deliberate)
I'm not so sure what other airline you're comparing this..... I've flown way over 1000 flights, many many of them in business and first. Not many give chocolate in the end at all. And my chocolate box did have 2 pralines in it.
On all my flights with them I could have all I like, soup, plus all appetizers plus all main courses. So I guess you were only on one flight and there you got extremely unlucky..... Regarding luggage, every airline is slightly different. In business it's almost always 2 Pieces of hands luggage of 7-8kg each. The gulf carriers are all more or less the same.
If you want big luggage you have to avoid most Asian airlines which almost all allow only 40kg of checked baggage, and instead go with European airlines, which allow 2x 32kg
@@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition Appreciate your reply. I would never compare my experience with somebody who has flown 1000 flights. My comparison is as a United 1K and American Exec premium on JAL, Cathay, EVA, British, Alaska, Malaysian, Singapore ANA, Asiana, United, Air Asia and American. My comments are based on my last two flights on Qatar. Qatar did not do this in the past. Fussing about carry on (specially in biz class) is a hall mark of a low cost carrier.
I hope I never come close to taking 1000 flights. I enjoy your reviews to fly vicariously. It is a good example of what airlines aspire to be .😃 Please keep doing them.
Thank you very much for your reply, dear Hasan! Very appreciated! I really try to give the best possible, fair and unbiased aviation reports - all self-funded (which is a real challenge) - so my audience gets the real thing. Thank you for being on board!
Hidden agenda
Can't quite follow....
And they are too happy to give you a broken QSuite seat for $10,000 and NEVER acknowledge the issue. I’ve followed up for months with customer service about this terrible service and they just ignore it.
th-cam.com/users/shortsLzrl4JjG4ys?feature=shared
Hi! I don't think they're happy to do that - but I understand that it sucks to look forward to a great seat, which is really expensive too, and then it's broken....
