Most luxurious 40-minute flight: Qatar Airways QSuites and Al-Safwa First Class lounge experience!

February 4, 2022

In this video we take a special First Class trip on Qatar Airways, but that’s only because that’s what they call business class on flights within the Gulf region.

In this video we take a special First Class trip on Qatar Airways, but that’s only because that’s what they call business class on flights within the Gulf region. We’re flying QSuites on the quick 40-minute hop from Dubai (DXB) to Doha (DOH) onboard the A350-900. And then, because of this quirk of regional naming, we have access to the Al-Safwa First Class lounge at Doha during the connection. This is possibly the most luxurious combination of air and ground experience we’ve ever experienced on such a short flight.
