Sadly, all flights from Europe to Doha will be aboard Airbus A320 family aircraft. This means you either enjoy lie-flat seats in what might be the world’s best commercial narrowbody Business Class. Or, more likely, you’ll get a rather lackluster product.
Connecting flights from Doha to Asia are operated by various planes of Qatar Airways’ long haul fleet. As a passenger of Qatar’s premium cabin, you will be allowed into the Al Mourjan Business Lounge. Most connections only have a short layover, but the lounge is still worth visiting. All services to some destinations like Singapore are advertised as Qsuite routes. For more information on this topic, continue here:
