Cons: "I was not able to pay for excess luggage online because I was told that I had to do it 48 hours in advance. I did not know I need and extra bag until the day before i left.

Uncomfortable to sleep for several hours". Cons: "Ord to Doh: People kept window blinds open all through 15 hour flight Flight temperature kept very warm". Pros: "Overall a good service with good food. Cons: "When flying from New Zealand to Doha, we departed Auckland at 15h25 and due to the time zone, most passengers body clocks would have been expecting sleep within a few hours.
However we were flying West and thus into daylight. Sadly the window seated passengers were not asked to close their window blinds to block out the sunlight and many were left open. This made the cabin very bright and a difficult environment in which to sleep. Too much advertising before the on board videos, but otherwise content was good. Pros: "Good food and good hospitality".

Also patient staff, what with the languages they have to cover with each flight. Pros: "B Dreamliner is dreamy. Lots of overhead luggage space.
Decent leg room could always be more. Great individual entertainment screen for long transcontinental flights.

Would definitely recommend Qatar Air over Aeroflot any day. Cons: "Food was decent for airline food but nothing to rave about and as with most airlines uses too much plastic packaging. Although I was pleased that some of the flights used metal flatware, but still too much waste in the industry in my opinion.
Also, the headphone jack was not compatible with my headphones. The type used on the is the dual pronged one. I did not have an adapter so had to use the crappy headphones that are provided. I selected the bulkhead seats for extra leg room. And Doha is a great connection airport. Pros: "Cabin crew including the ground staff were awesome in providing best of its class customer service.
Food and entertainment onboard was really good. Pros: "My flight from Chicago to Doha was late to come in and there was a gate agent waiting for us and two other passengers with a sign when we got off the plane.
He told us that our flight had already left but he would get us on the next one. We ended up getting seats on the next flight but then were also given the option to get a temporary visa and explore Doha for the night. I don't think I have ever received better service from an airline or a hotel. We ended up walking around Souq Waquif and the downtown until 1am we are two young females! Everything was so well laid out for us!
No complaints whatsoever! Pros: "smooth and on time with efficient service. Pros: "The aircraft from US to Qatar was upgraded and looked new. I love the new on demand video streaming, the touch controls are precise and better than previous version".
Cons: "I wish the airline was a bit more organized with boarding. I saw people with other zones boarding even when they were not called. The air hostess was friendly but I kinda got a feeling that she is doing me a huge favor when I asked for something more.
Pros: "Enjoyed the food and the service from the crew. Plane was new and relatively new and comfortable. Cons: "The check in agents were not very polite or helpful. They did not offer much assistance and help for a first time customer on Qatar Airways.

Aircrafts were clean and tidy. Landing and take off were smoothest I have ever experienced. Cons: "Menu choice was very basic and quantity was also poor. Food quality was below par in terms of taste and presentation. In-flight crew was inefficient and flow. Meal trays laid on meal tables for hours after the passengers finished food. Flight attendants literally responded in over 30 min of call.
I pressed special meals online before boarding. However, the flight attendants were not sure. They went back to kitchen to verify that and return with the ordered meal. Pros: "It was excellent. Cons: "It was excellent. Cons: "No consistency with hand luggage. My companions and I were held to strict weight limits. Others were getting on with three and four bags.
Pros: "The entertainment options were fantastic! The flight attendants were very cordial and hardworking. Cons: "I was very pleased with my flight. I really have I complaints. Pros: "everything was as expected from a world-class in the travel world.

Qatar never getting my business again. Pros: "Inflight services, food". Cons: "Wheelchair services in India, person left in between and had to walk with pain in my foot for a distance.
Cons: "Boarding staff give us wrong advice to make extra money from the passenger. They also pressurized us to decide quickly.
Instead of giving us a choice or advice that you are allowed two more hand bags. They pressurized us to make one baggage over weight from all 7 bags and harassed us to do it quickly because they are closing counter in 20 minutes. Also they lied on the counter that your seats are in a row but when i went into the plane our seats were separate.
Lesson learned don't trust the person over the counter of Qatar airways. Pros: "Smooth flight, staff very attentive, lots of great new movies to watch from". Cons: "Staff kept reaching past me to shut my window without asking me first. Very rude. Pros: "The crew we're good". Cons: "Very less leg room".

Pros: "Everything except food". Cons: "Online Check-in didn't work properly, so we had to check in at the airport. They were understaffed and it took us over an hour to get through check in. The customer service was horrible, and we were only allowed to bring a backpack for a carry on, forcing us to check our one carry on bag. This made our two long flights uncomfortable with nothing to change into once we landed in Dubai and still had another 8 flight to Johannesburg.
The flight itself was overbooked, and we then had to place our backpacks under the seats in front of us, giving us no leg room for 13 hrs. Pros: "I had a fast and easy check-in at Denpasar airport. In flight service by cabin crew was very good, as I normally get in the business class at Emirates.
Flight left Denpasar on time and arrived in Auckland some 30 mins early, which was nice. Enjoyed a late dinner - the mie goreng ayam was particularly tasty!
Cons: "In the past on overnight flights Emirates I have received a pyjama set in the Business Class, which made it very comfortable to sleep. But this time this was not given, so I had to sleep in my day-wear, which was a bit uncomformtable. Pros: "Obviously Biz Class is a great proposition for a flight of this length and once again the experience was a good one. Staff are always friendly and very attentive. Cons: "We are not big eaters but when you leave at 10am then a lunch and breakfast is a bit of a stretch and even with light snack options we found ourselves hungry.
Breakfast was not too flash". Pros: "The food and the entertainment was great! Very comfortable seats. Cons: "The cuatomer service at checkin was rude and the gate staff in dubai was also very rude i will never fly with them again. Cons: "hh". Pros: "All of the above". Cons: "Nothing that i didn't like". Students over Youth Child Toddler in own seat under 2. Infant on lap under 2.
