Prologue:
After 3 weeks in US and many meetings nationwide, it was time to leave back to Doha.While I had the pleasure of flying with the A350 outbound to Boston. I made the choice to fly from Houston since I have a house there. Convenient.
I arrived at 3:30 pm and I was the first one to be checked-in.
I was informed that the flight would be 2h30 late due to a storm in the region. The flight from Doha left with a delay of 4 hours... I collected my boarding pass and the lounge invitation.
Surprisingly
The lounge caters the passengers with QR
Fruit tray. While it was not full
I took the noodle with meat and vegetables. While the Noodle was a bit over cooked for my liking. It was a good meal.
The bar where I grabbed my diet coke.
Salad bar
I then went with the greek salad. Afterwards
Since I was outside I made my way to the BA lounge for a quick review. Much to my surprise I was denied like a trash. QR being a part of OW alliance
I went back to the lounge where I sat in the private room. Very useful to make call without disturbing others.
I really like QR BP..
Boarding will start shortly.
The seat 4A has a missing window...
The menu for tonight.
Huge legroom.
Push back
After take off
The table is set.
The balik Salmon not in the menu.
I picked the Antipasti salad. It's not the kind of first course you see on a regular basis. It was fine but without oil it was rather bland.
I have to confess I'm a big fan of a special combo : Meat and cheese. I saved the Parmesan for my next course.
The presentation was very good
With the parmesan on the top...
Too bad the fillet of beef was well done. It was tasty however.
My wife would tell you how picky I can be in terms of desert... I drive her nuts....
I decided to give the panma cotta a try. Damn It was just a killing !!!!
The famous ice cream with berries.
The fruit plate to close a good meal. Too bad the service took so long or I was just too tired.
One thing I love about QR is they always try to exceed your expectations. Turndown service done by the purser. While it's something you have in First Class
Well guys... I slept like a rock for 7 hours.
Hello you !!!
I decided to have my very light breakfast here. Another thing I love with QR
Greek yogurt + granola and strawberries. Double espresso + milk to wake me up...
Corn flakes.
Not too bad...
... the view..

Summary:
Time after time, Flying QR is for me a must. I can't deny I praise QR a lot.Lounge:
- The buffet was good enough
- Staff : they were lovely. I was at the bar when LH made an announcement saying the Business Class is oversold and they are looking for pax willing to seat in Y for a 1300€ compensation. She told me : I'm in.
- Too bad the lounge tends to be crowded...
Flight:
- Crew : Very good as usual.
- Catering : Good even if I was a bit disappointed by the antipasti.
- Comfort : A flat bed is just mandatory in today's world.. While I prefer the cirrus seat. It was still comfy enough.
Thanks for reading !
