Hi,
It was in the middle of the night when I quickly checked in for this early morning departure.

It took a while trough security, passport and via people mover train to reach the D gates building of Terminal 1. The lounges are located on the upper level and I visited the ahlan First Class Lounge.

First passing the regular Lounge area with a buffet:


First Class guests upon invitation are invited to use a dedicated more quiet are which was nice.


This area comes with additional table delivery service.
A view on the menu:

I just had a very small snack at it was a strange time of the day for a Lounge visit.

Unfortunately no pictures were possible for my Qatar A350 and so I just started boarding via a dedicated priority lane.
I was really excited to see the QSuite product when entering the cabin:


My suite 5K looked really nice:


Taking a seat and getting very comfortable.



The seat offers perfect privacy and clever stowage areas.

A look on the menu for today's breakfast time flight:



A very friendly purser approached me, welcomed me onboard and took my welcome drink order. This was soon served: a very taste lemon mint drink. This was served together with a refreshing towel.


Headsets were available as well on this short trip:


Next I was asked for my breakfast and drink orders after take off.
Looking outside while loading finished:

Next Arabic coffee was offered with some dates.

Very nice mood lighting was turned on when we started push back.

Climbing out of Dubai with some nice city views for this hour hop across the Arabic Sea.


Very soon my table was set with a table cloth and my small but very tasty breakfast was served. I tried the non-alcoholic Rosè sparklig drink which was tasty but did not come that close to a classic alcoholic one.


A nice cozy breakfast atmosphere indeed:

Soon descent into Doha started during nice sunrise colors.


Docking at Doha airport on time.

Thanks for reading,
