Prologue:

After my flight from HBE, I had 13 hours ahead of me...

While I love spending time in the lounge, 12 hours with no proper place to sleep aside from the quiet area.. I left DOH airport to reach town for a short night... I faced an unusual issue at the hotel and decided to leave the hotel at 2 am (more on that soon with the hotel report).

Shall we ;-)

Boarding pass issued in HBE

I then made my way to the stunning lounge.

I quickly went to eat something since I wanted to work before boarding.

View from the restaurant. It put into perspective on how huge the lounge is.

You can also control the sreen with your fingers. Easier for me.

Smoothie. Good but to heavy for me.

photo 640x640 3

The First service was just underwhelming... Nothing was done in order and my cereal was forgotten.. not a big deal.

photo 640x640 3

While the Balik salmon was good. With no salt and pepper nor olive oil. It was bland. The presentation is so-so.

When everything was done

photo 640x640 3

I made my bed and slept like a rock for 4 hours.

Tail camera... I can't get bored... I then used the voucher given on my First Class flight to work.

photo 640x640 3

Fast forward we were 2 hours away from landing and I was starving. Hopefully the service will be better than the first one. Oh gosh. The table is set up by the FA.

My soup arrived.

photo 640x640 3

Tasty !

photo 640x640 3

Prawns and salmon

Then came the red snapper.

The picture can't do justice on such a lovely meal.

photo 640x640 3

Dacquoise biscuit. A great desert to finish off the meal.

Summary:

Lounge:

Along with TK and Virgin Club House, Al Mourjan Lounge is just great :
- Staff, always proactive, they are a big asset.
- Business center : Everything is there to make you stay productive.
- Catering : Great and they do change the buffet.

Too bad the quiet area was full when I wanted to rest.

Flight :

While it's always a pleasure having the A350 cabin, the hard product can't do the flight itself unless you sleep all the way which the guy behind me did.

The breakfast service left me speechless. Distant crew. It was a surprise since I got used to have a great service.

With the crew shift, the service was much better.

The lunch was superb.

Stay tuned for my next flight on the B777 bound to DOH.

Thanks for reading !
