DOHA-LONDON
Airbus A340-600
Good morning, from my desk to yours. I am just back from another outstanding trip to Southeast Asia. In my excitement to share everything that makes up air travel, I have gotten a ahead of myself and have to take a few steps back. First off, you may have noticed Planereality has moved to BoardingArea.com. BoardingArea provides a central location that allows readers access to some of the best travel blogs on the web. I am excited to be here and I hope you too discover some great travel writers you were not aware of.
Secondly, I have not shared some of the details from my last trip which included the below flight on Qatar Airways from Doha, Qatar to London’s Heathrow Airport. Unlike my flight to Doha, this flight (#1) was operated with an Airbus A340-600 which has 3 classes. The business class seats were nearly identical to those on the 777, but do not quite lie entirely flat. Like my other flight on Qatar, the service and food was fantastic. Unfortunately I slept through the 2nd meal service, but woke to find a fresh bottle of Evian water and a small box of Godiva chocolates at my seat. Along with an immigration cards, flight attendants distributed passes for the expedited customs line at Heathrow.
