Made our way to the B gates where our flight was departing from. The flight was initially supposed to be on a 777 with QSuites but a few months before departure, there was a plane swap to an A330. An hour before the flight, I got a notification that it was switched to a B787.

Surprised to see the Adient Ascent seat. Comfy for a one hour flight - not sure how comfortable it would be for a medium or long haul flight.

Was offered a choice of OJ, mint/lime juice or water as a PDB.

Another crew member came by offering arabic coffee. My meal choice was also taken - it was a choice between a camel wrap or a paneer wrap.

The captain came on with his usual introduction and announced that we would be delayed by another 30+ minutes as we had to wait for passengers from the inbound Paris flight.

Meal was served 15 minutes after take off - went with the camel wrap, tasted like chicken.

Halfway through the meal, the captain came on to announce we had begun our descent. :D

Conclusion

1. Doha Airport is a dream.
2. The 787-9 with the new Adient Ascent seats is good and comfortable. How would it fare on long haul trips is anyone's guess but I think this is meant for short to medium flights.
3. Meal was great for such a short flight.
4. Dubai Airport T1 is ok; it was a long walk/transfer from the gate to immigration. On top of that, my passport didnt work through the egates even though I was registered. Took another 15 minutes go through the regular line to get processed.

    Nice to see a review on the QR 789 Business class as there aren't a ton out there since they've begun flying. The seat choice was a bit of a disappointment after so much talk of an upgraded Q Suites product that would fit on a 787 prior to introduction. It's a perfectly good seat model, but not as innovative as Q suites being very similar to Collins Supper Diamond or JPA Cirrus with Doors. I don't mind the trend of doors in Business class, but I don't totally see their worth yet. Having flown on seats with doors, I just don't find then high enough to actually provide privacy. I guess the best part was shielding more from the aisle during sleep, but otherwise I just leave them open, as they make me feel claustrophobic in an otherwise spacious cabin and seat.

    Thanks for sharing!
