  • Welcome y’all on this trip to Doha on Qatar Airways. Thank you for joining!
    Always exciting times to fly with them!
    Despite the A320 being one of the most common (and kind of boring?!) aircraft in today’s aviation world, loved by low cost and flag carriers alike, and commonly packed with 180-186 seats; not the case on Qatar Airways!
    Despite the A320 being QR’s smallest plane, I can assure you it was a great experience!
    Come and join me and see for yourself how this is not your average A320 and how Qatar Airways consistently delivers a 5 star experience.
    Enjoy!
    Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
    From: Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport, Croatia
    To: Doha Hamad International Airport, Qatar
    Flight Number: QR216
    Aircraft Type: Airbus A320-200
    Registration: A7-AHS
    Flight Time: 05:14

    Even in an unspectacular aircraft Qatar is setting the standards. Inflight entertainment. Big business seats. For eco really good looking food. Clean toilets. Compered to Easy Jet or some other airlines like that a whole new world. 👍

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Před 2 lety +3

      Completely true.
      Now I don’t know if having 132 seats on this plane with such high standards earns them actually money or not, but that’s not my business.
      I wish this was more the standard for others too. It’s quite annoying how they kind of destroyed my idea of the A320 as now I feel annoyed on all others I fly.

      @@TheLayoverAviation you have to consider the distances Qatar A320 flies as compared to the short hops in Europe by all European airlines, hence the spartan cabin looks and service in Europe. This is five hrs after all. You will not see this kind of A320 Zagreb Munich or Zagreb Paris for example. It will be overrated and economically not bankable. European A321LRs however, flying across the Atlantic - for example for Tap Air Portugal - or Air Lingus for Ireland - have similar cabin features and service. Having said that, at the same time I do not claim they are better than QA320, just that similar services exist for that type of destinations.

    Hola Alex. Fully enjoyed this video and your comments! Right up my ally as usual!! Can't think of any other narrow bodied airline with such service, I agree! Flew Qatar a couple of times from AKL to AMS on the 777-200LR in business class and was only disappointed by the 2-2-2 configuration and the horrible unhuman arriving times! Tired planes and seating but things must definitely have changed post covid! Dining on demand GREAT, but arriving back in AKL at 3.30am was challenging!! Waiting for domestic transfer with domestic terminal closed till 6 am, hmmm. Reuze bedankt Alex!!

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Před 2 lety

      Always great to see your comments Flip!
      That 2-2-2 configuration is now gone from the B77L, all replaced with Qsuites if I’m correct.
      The inhuman arrival times are something that just won’t change in the Middle East, I know what you mean😅.
      The airlines benefit from a 24/7 airport operation at the cost of our poor eyes.

      I was just reading an article from CNBC that Emirates lost $1.1 billion dollars over last year. Also, I read that Emirates is continuing service to Russia despite the on-going war. They have no choice to continue their service there, until the government sanctions them and does not allow them to fly to Russia, I'm sure Emirates will agree not to fly to Russia.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Před 2 lety

      I find a $1.1 billion kind of ok if you consider that they exclusively operate International flights and wide bodies. Their business model depended 100% on international traffic, so they were mega affected during Covid.
      It seems that profit is expected for next year and the company will grow and improve more then ever. Let’s see!!
      Regarding Russia, the UAE is neutral on the situation and plenty of Russians have Dubai as a second home, so I don’t think flights will be cancelled unless the US will say they won’t allow foreign operators to operate American flights IF they operate to Russia.
      Time will tell! Politics🤮

      I fully agree with you on the IFE department! This A320 is just out of this world. Now I don’t know if having 132 seats on the A320 vs 186 like Wizz makes any money, but that’s none of my problem😎.

      I wish I could be more open with what I do for a living, but so far I can’t. I work for and represent a travel/hospitality giant. Besides that what makes me travel a lot is family, we’re scattered everywhere. CZcams also seems to be becoming a big side job.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Před 2 lety +2

      2900m is not short, specially not for a quite empty A320. It’s all based purely on precautions, a “just in case” thing.
      Perhaps the Qatar Airways Standard Operating Procedures don’t allow for runway intersection take offs. There could be many reasons.
      Some airlines love intersection take offs, like KLM. It could potentially save taxi time and so fuel.

    How does the training of a pilot who already flies but wants to switch for example from the A320 to the 787 work? If a Lufthansa pilot wants to switch to 787 how does the company handle the procedures, given that Lufthansa has not yet received a 787? Do they fly on other airlines they partner with, such as United's 787s?

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Před 2 lety +1

      Good question!
      And unfortunately I can’t give you one answer as there are so many..
      It depends on the airline’s operational requirement and much more.
      Let’s say you worked for X airline and flew A320’s. And let’s say you join Singapore Airlines now. It would make sense for them to train you on the A380’s and A350’s and not the B777’s or B787’s, for example.
      I don’t think that as a pilot you’ll have the choice at many airlines.
      If an airline like Lufthansa starts operating B787’s I think that a select number of instructor pilots will train at Boeing to become instructors on the B787 and then will go on to train Lufthansa pilots on the type.
      It would make sense that most of these would be existing Boeing pilots, such as B747 and B777 ones as many systems will be common on the B787.
      No, they don’t fly on partner airlines, I’m pretty sure of that. Unions wouldn’t allow that. Flying the B787 in United is strictly for the seniors if I’m correct.
      I really don’t know what to say! It has so many possible answers!

    • @BLACKBEARDOfficialChannel

      Hey Christian, thanks for watching!
      That is a good question.. I assume that after Flydubai you would connect with Emirates, right?
      Between Doha-Zagreb and Dubai-Zagreb I have to give QR the quality win. More enhanced service.
      The Flydubai had a better and newer cabin though. It’s quite a short flight so I don’t really care much..
      But on the longer sector I would definitely much prefer the Emirates A380 and that’s the sector you need the best aircraft on. It’s just incredibly comfortable and they are sending the newest A380’s with Premium Economy. You have wider seats and a massive cabin to walk around and stretch your legs on. They also offer far too much food with their recent service updates😝

      Some of their ratings are correct, but most not😂
      It’s actually quite funny to read.

      LH’s First Class is a solid 5 stars.
      The rest I don’t know.. I like it, but it can’t beat some other “4star” airlines..
      Thanks for watching!
