Prologue:
After 3 enjoyable nights in Bangkok where we stayed at Avani Riverside Hotel, It was time to head back to the airport.The hotel is in the middle of nowhere, we used a Chinese service from taobao to book the cab to BKK, much cheaper than the regular cabs.
We arrived at the airport at 5 pm.
The check in was still closed.
But opened quickly.
On my way to security and immigration
I did not have time to eat for lunch.
The kitchen.
So I went to Cathay Pacific Lounge just to enjoy the Pad Thai. I prefer the one from the Thai Airways First class lounge but still. I can eat pad thai every single day. I did it 1 year ago when I was in Phuket with my wife for a week.
My 3 boarding pass
Still in 2A
At 6 pm
The lounge is huge. which is a surprise because it was not really busy.
The buffet... I have to say
AS a result
Who wants to drink?
Lounge entrance.
I decided to have a quick shower before boarding. Way too small or am I too fat ? The lounge provides a kit from Novotel.
After my shower
It was the best shot I could get.
Boarding is about to start.
I was escorted to my place by Wisaka. Same seat as before
Wisaka from Thailand will be in charge of the First Class today. She was just lovely.
The remote.
Pajamas were handed out. I like the new one. The slippers are very comfortable.
The menu. Wisaka came for my order. At first I wanted to take the prawn as main but they loaded only 1 meal and the pax in 1A took it. I'm off with the beef...
Push back on time. Flight time 6h50.
If you are a regular flyer with QR
Take off.
View from the last row of business class.
The bar is about to open.
Just a killing. Salmon on the left and scallop on the right.
Once again I ordered the signature drink by QR
My table is set for the amuse bouche.
Prawn with thai sauce.
Delicious soup
Caviar... number 1
Cheers !
Caviar number 2 !
The beef came. Yes I won't find my beef medium rare anytime soon on QR but the taste was there. Everything was good.
Fruit to top off a very good meal. My drinks were never left empty. Wisaka was proactive to never let that happen.
She made my bed while I was changing in the toilet. In the middle on the night I went to the bar the stretch my legs and my bed was once again done. Thanks Wisaka. You're a real treat.
Fast forward it was already time to pack up and prepare the cabin for landing.
Look how they made sure to avoid the UAE airspace.
Landing.
Just a quick view from my room in the hotel.
========== Suvarnabhumi Intl Arpt (BKK) - ==========
========== JAL Sakura Lounge ==========
========== Qatar Airways - Airline ==========
========== Doha International Arpt (DOH) - ==========
Summary:
I might sound biased about QR but I really like the airline. The crew is among the best in the world.If only they could fix the main meal issue, it would be perfect.
Next part : First Class Lounge Al Safwa Doha + Flight to London.
Thanks for reading !
