Pre Flight @ DOH


After my flight from DPS i had about 2 hours to get to my gate.
It was around midnight - this time - lots of people were at the security check, which took a while.
The view from the gate was shitty.
Tell my why you have to destroy the view across the apron ….

Flight QR59


It was very hot onboard the A350-900 - of course when the aircraft is standing for a few hours in that heat.
With the start of the engines and the air conditioner, it started to cool down a little bit.


View from my window at the gate - note the moon :)

It was great to see the moon from my window - see the wing, which is illuminated by the Doha lights

About 1.5 hours into the flight, the meal service started.
Here is the menu card for QR59
photo menu_qr59


First off all the Light Snack
A bun with chicken inside and a muffin.
It was not that superb, but overall okay.

The flight continued as I watched the last movie of The Fast & Furious - so I finished my own little marathon :)
During that we passed Kuwait and entered the Iranian airspace.

Afer we passed Turkey the breakfast service started.
I have chosen the Paneer bhurji.

Well - to be honest - I have never heared about Paneer bhurji.
As I found out later, it is a fresh cheese, which is very popular in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and in South Asia.
I ate it for the first time an I really liked it!! Very good!


More sunrise! I love that view!

Almost home.

The flight was very smooth and calm.
Lots of the passengers were sleeping.


We reached Germany and it looked like a wonderful summer morning outside.
Check out the fog cloud!!

We made a U-Turn over Munich and I had a great view above the Allianz Arena ;)

Last but not least - here is a look at the amenity kid I got on the flights DOH > DPS, DPS > DOH and DOH > MUC.
It was the same on all of the three flights.

Post Flight @ MUC


Nothing special to mention.
MUC was very calm at around 7 am local time.
The passport control and luggage pickup was done very quickly.

Thanks for spending your time and reading :)

Conclusion

My first time with QR and I have to say, that I was very happy.

Of course I was a little bit worried with all the restrictions against QR and the surrounds air spaces, but the flight was not delayed at all.

QR is really an option! And DOH was not that full like DXB.

I will fly to KUL with Etihad soon. Let's see how the connection in AUH will be.

    Thanks for this FR.
    Even the PTV content was rebranded to be QR compatible.
    Indian dishes are usually a good option on planes as the spices make them much tastier than regular meals, plus they're healthy.
    The A350 wing sure is sexy!

    QR also made special headphone for that LATAM A350 - I guess.
    The LATAM A350 has just one connection port for the headphone - on the B777 the QR PTV had two connections.
    What they did: They made a normal QR headphone with two connections, but one port was moveable - so the headphone can be used on both connection types.
    I should have made a photo of that!
