As I said yesterday, just a travel day. As many of you may be aware we have developed an aversion to turning right when we board an aircraft, i.e. we flu business class on long haul flights. If you are prepared to do a fair bit of research, reasonable prices can be found. I found a reasonable price on Qatar airways, arguably one of the best business class airlines in the world.
We boarded the flight to Doha at Montreal, the business class cabin not only has lie flat sleeps, but each seat is its own cabin with a closing door. In our case we got two middle seats, where the divider between the two passengers goes down, and each seat has access to the aisle via the sliding door. All vet comfy and private!
We both got a good seven hours sleep.
The picture below is us flying 35,00ft above the Red Sea
The temperature on arrival was 37C (100F) at 5PM!
The airport is amazing, as is the lounge. All interactions we have had with the Qatar staff have been amazing, I have a new favourite airline!!
Below is a view of about one quarter of the lounge! o overcrowding like a certain Canadian airline lounge!! A refreshing shower was had!
And below is a view of part of the terminal from the lounge
The flight from Doha to Bangkok was a short one, just under 7 hours! we managed to get a little more sleep as it was technically a red-eye, local time. The service again was excellent, the only disappointment on the first flight was the food. On this flight it was way better, so I’ll blame it on the Montreal caterers.
Here endeth day 2, I think. The time zones are getting too much to manage. So much so that my watch has thrown a wobbly. More on that tomorrow.
