After spending almost 2 weeks at Bali I return to the airport to catch the night flight to Doha
I'm was fully ready to return home but I saw something in the FIDS info area
"NO OPERATION DUE TO THE VOLCANO ERRUPTION"
Yep… unfortunately I didn't had had time to check the news about the Rinjani
After pass the x-ray screening I arrived in the check-in area
At the check-in counter they asked for the my phone number and informed which the flight was canceled and possibly will be operated on the next day
They also gave me a catering box and informed me that i'm going to stay in an Hotel nearby the airport: The best Y-class ever ehehe
"My cabin" for this night
With pool
The facade of the Hotel

And then the flight was delayed again due to Vulcano. It was expect to my flight depart at 12h30

Hello, FConceicao, and thanks for this FR!
How very unfortunate that you had to go through all the hassle because of the volcano eruption! At least Qatar handled the situation pretty well considering the available resources. So passengers of Singapore, Emirates, and Qatar were all put in the same hotel?
The seating configuration looks awfully cramped there! Guess they have to make their 787-8 profitable somehow.. Though I'm glad they upized the capacity on the DOH-DPS route with 1 A330-300 and 1 777-300ER. That should provide passengers with more space for themselves.
The meal service looks like something one would get on KLM economy. Plastic cutlery and the very small portion of the food.. Not something one should expect from a 5-star airline in my opinion. But then again suppose for the leisure market it's not exactly terrible.
It's a nice touch that they distribute passengers real amenity kits to use on the flight, and it doesn't look half bad too! In the future when possible please give is a tour of the amenity kit. What's in it, and who the products are by.
Thanks again, and happy flying!
Thanks for sharing this FR with us!
All things considered, QR did a very nice job handling the flight cancellation. Sounds like it was all handled professionally with meals and lodging.
The ME3 aren’t so practical for Americans, but QR is the one that I find to have maintained the highest level of in-flight service. The meal looks really good and they have very nice looking cabins. The comfort kit in Y is a really good gesture. They are fully deserving of the 10 Cabin comfort rating.
No pre-arrival snack on a flight of this length?
Thanks again for this FR!
