- WELCOME to Wandering Scholar, a 20 years old frequent flyer from Shanghai
To all my subscribers, it is my pleasure to see you back !
Qatar Airways is one of the top airlines in the world. The airline is known for its revolutionary Qsuite and top shelf beverage. However, very little marketing has been done for the carrier’s actual top shelf cabin - first class.
The eight open plan suite at the front of Qatar’s A380 upper deck is the crown jewel of the airline’s offerings. While the cabin is understated without the customary A380 shower, the timeless Al Safwa ground experience to the vintage Krug and Grand Cru Classe on the wine list makes Qatar’s first class the pinnacle of air hospitality in the 21st century.

Thank you #WanderingScholar for another enjoyable luxury flight experience. We all need to take notice of the A380 before it is gone. Local competitors like Emirates & Etihad keep the focus on giving their customers the best unlike American/Canadian airlines where we are treated like cattle in economy and suckers in business.
As always, appreciate your time spent filming, editing, voicing, and captioning for us. As wave ( 7? hits Canada I hope you are staying safe, covid free and enjoying your summer.
Thanks as always ! I’ll have to enjoy the limited time I have before returning to North America next month :)
Sir you have a great life, travelling everywhere. I'm planning a 4 week holiday for January 2023 in Thailand..
How much was that doha to Bangkok flight mate?
Lets stay humble at all times
I think the accent is put on.
No shit? Doesn't make it bad though
Loving the video's. I like how you've added the Chinese subtitles. I'm an English teacher living in Shenzhen and I have used your video's in my classes teaching my Chinese student's.
This is a super underrated channel. Incredible content.
Thanks for your kind words :)
This quality and editing of this video is world class. So professional and enjoyable to watch 🙂
Dude, easy with that wine sniffing)))))))
Your video was perfect timing. My wife and I have just booked the same flight and first class for the end of October. Looks splendid and can't wait. Cheers.
1A First Class ,great. The QR theme song reminds me of my loved one, QR ex- cabin crew , CSD , thank you , have a nice trip to Thailand, my country. 17 July 2022 10.10 a.m.
Sadly they changed the boarding music now, it’s so dull and many complain about it.
Hope you’re enjoying your time on ground, hope to see you onboard sometime
Informative and well edited/filmed. Thank you!
The service looks great, and the A380 is magnificent. Lucky bugger!
Slammer TIME! Great Video!
the pre cooked food thing explains why I could only get my beef tenderloin well done, thought it was odd
Absolutely Majestic ❤️❤️
amazing video, the lounge segment was a wonderful addition. cheers.
another excellent video as always!
Great video. Thank you for the sharing.
PROFESSIONAL JOB ❤❤❤❤❤
Great video as always!
Keep up the great work!
Fantastic thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Beautifully filmed as always
My 1st time watching a video of yours... Definitely not the last ;) very nice footage
Great and comprehensive flog
Quite good quality ❤❤❤❤❤
Great job! I just booked Qatar Business class from Doha to SFO next June. I'll be watching your video again as the date gets closer. One thing that might help is adding chapters to your video to help guide the viewer. Otherwise, some great footage and lounge coverage, which is very helpful. (The lounge is the main reason I chose to start in Doha...though now I have to find a way there.)
This is the first video I watch of you, and it's pleasantly quiet, stylish, well filmed and attractive, you have my attention. Gerrit , Belgium
HEEEEESSSS BACKKKKKKK
You need to see the current QANTAS safety video!! Superb!!!
Interesting Video❤
The Awesome Private Check In wins it for me 👏
Nice flight footage.
AWESOME VID!
anyway, welcome to bkk
Great video
great flight thanks for sharing greetings from the netherlands
surprised you could walk to your aircraft after that wonderful alcoholic delicacies.. Great video, a flight i frequently take bit in business class,
Have watched a few of your reviews and am amazed by the amount of Alcohol you consume I too travel for business and yes in the same cabins as you and am yet to have any alcoholic beverage yet.
have one then
Can’t wait to take that flight…in biz…👍😎 🇹🇭
if I couldn't sleep, I would play this video over and over..
Finally a flight-reviewer with a sensible drinking policy that actually uses the possibility to drink quality wines!
Great video and excellent editing. An enjoyment to watch. I wish however, you could talk more “Normal”.
The only allowing one glass at the table is silly as you only have one mouth. Would be more efficient for the staff to serve two at once, especially if one does not have to be cold.
Loved your clever comments on the wine and bar.
Great video! I always appreciate the way you dress when flying Premium Class unlike others....
Agree with you 1,000%. Most of the other reviewers who are flying in an elevated class looked like total, scuzzy bums.
@@jamiecloud1897 Hahahahah! Yes Sir!
Thanks for this excellent and honest review. I agree with all points you raised - especially that it's not a huge leap above the already great QSuites experience. What surprised me most was that Al Safwa lounge meals are reheated and not freshly prepared. I have the reverse of this flight booked in September. I'm glad to know what to expect.
Great. Log Mo !
流石ファーストクラス。素晴らしいですね。また旅をしたい。まだコロナで不便なことが多いから海外は控えてるけど、やっぱり海外行きたい。
Great video, I appreciate your class and taste.
Where are the jacket and trousers you are wearing from?
Krug bubbly
Hey!! Big fan of yours, was just wondering what’s the carry on brand and bag you used for this flight? Love your videos!!
Rimowa carry-on and tumi backpack but the ones I am using are all old models
When are you coming to Africa specifically Uganda 🇺🇬 , show case the experience aboard UGA Airlines new Airbus A380 Neo
Here's to hoping that vintage krug is a permanent upgrade to the a380 menu!
Nice video. Well presented. However after my last experience with Qatar airways and the Doha airport, i shall never be setting foot in a Qatar plane or airport ever again.
Nice to see somethin i can never afford
❤️
Nice. Can you post the wine/champagne selection in the Al Safwa First lounge? Many years ago they apparently served Krug champagne.
www.qatarairways.com/content/dam/hia/pdf/al-safwa-dining-en.pdf Unfortunately there wasn't any Krug during both of my visits in 2019 and 22
You use the terms Bourgeois as well Hoi Polloi quite a lot mostly in regards to the commotion beneath you. As someone who feels a need to apologize for my white, rich ancestry, do you feel that it is right to take over our transgressions? Just asking because you are a college student and perhaps you don’t need to use the terms “foot man”, hoi poloi, or bourgeois. Please don’t as I won’t employ the term Kleptocrat - ever: again.
Always an excellent experience "traveling with you!" I have flown on quite a few international carriers in First, but not Qatar (so far!). Are the face masks required onboard, or are they a personal option? Cheers!!
Facemasks are still required on all Qatar flights
I flu Qatar airways QSuites ( business class ) last month . Masks are required , but ( almost ) nobody wears them and the crew does not say anything so you more or less do what you want . The crew wears all masks though .
Great video, why is no flame allowed in the lounge?
I really enjoy your channel. Great work on these. Do you know if there are any time restrictions at Al Safwa? I have a long layover coming up and would prefer to stay there versus booking the transit hotel or staying in Doha.
There shouldn't be any time limit if you are traveling first class but I remember the private room may have a 6 hours usage limit or something
@@ShanghaiFlyer Thank you. It’s a 14 hour layover so maybe the transit hotel isn’t a bad idea. Otherwise I run the risk of meandering through the entire wine list.
Nice how there’s not alcool regolamentation 👏👏👏
I am hoping to fly this exact segment in March 2023. From CDG to BKK via doha using avios. Anyone know if I will be given access to the first class lounge since it is not a cash ticket?
Wow can you try orangeee chickann and Kung pao chickannn on the flight too? Wanna see how they taste
Omg
it's called the arabin gulf
What backpack is that? Looks very stylish
What shoes were you wearing looks good and comfortable
Love the accent! British private school?
A very stylish report of a rarefied experience - well done! I need to point out that your scripting is very small & of a font which often blends in with the footage, making it almost impossible to read.
3rd!
Bougie on point. 🤣😂😅
why no naked flames for cooking, your not in the air your on the ground, so whats the problem?
How to be the most unsympathetic smug. See this guy! 😂
“It’s no secret that I hate plane breakfast”. You a joke ain’t ya!?😅
I'm guessing from the thumbnail his review of the flight is "not bad"
Sorry - you lost me at saying a 12 minute check in was long, sitting in a leather chair, being waited on hand and foot. There's appreciation and presumption.
I concur Glen. This wanky snobbery is such a massive turn off. Kindess and appreciation is everything and this vlogger lacks them both.
You will have to compare this with other first class checkin experience not economy. So if lets say you are flying emirates and the checkin experience is only 3 minutes then by that standard 12 minutes is long.
This is a first class flight, not economy
Dr Cola & A AM ... arrogance is off-putting be it economy or first class. Vloggers like @trektrendy are so popular because they don't display these awful traits and they travel far more than this chap.
@@vishalincanberra a 12 minute check in is still long though, especially on a first class flight
Your voice is so soothing🥰
Sir, what shoes are you wearing?
Nicely done. Thank you. I disagree though when you say the wine in the lounge is free. The wine is included in the price of your First Class ticket, paid for by you or someone else. There is no such thing as free.
I am loving your accent. 😍😍
Do first class not have bedding?
这个中英字幕不错 主播是怎么加进去的？
The thing with QR’s “first class” is that it’s business class with the exception of the Arabic coffee and wine selection. The rest (even the crew) is exactly the same as business
Not really though….different and better food and wine, different lounge, smaller cabin, better crew to passenger ratio to say a few differences.
@@hovelad8214 in part, yeah, but other than catering being +100% of each option unlike Business, it’s basically the same thing.
QR calls business “Fist class” on their intra-gulf and Arabic sectors with same levels of staffing, if not less due to the shortages they’re having. Just smoke and mirrors for the entitled of the region to feel better about themselves
居然有中文字幕😃老兄是哪里的😄
What’s with the accent?
This is a great review but very weird posh English accent and pronunciation of words lol.
و عندي مشكله ثانيه ما اقدر انام في الطائره. ابدا.
To complement your viewers, just as Qatar did to you, I think we deserve to know how much did you pay for the flight?
hi
I hope you don t drive when you arrive at BKK airport, 14 glasses of wine in all VDO!
Hahaha...imagine if one was a revenue passenger in First Class with a non-functioning IFE system. Now that's luxury at its finest 😆😆😆😆
Never understood first class - unless you had FU money.
I flew business twice, just because it was a short stay and I wanted to sleep through the flight and wake up fresh. Nothing to do with the food or ambience or comfort.
2 things: A gentleman should never wear a creased jacket, tis considered an embarrassment.
Also happy to see that 1st Class is becoming filled more, otherwise it's a waste of a product
QATAR AIRW. certainly is a very good airline for first class, but economy class is much worse. and this is scandalous. i flew FCO / BKK / FCO in March and April. bad service. never again
السفر احيان يكون حفره من جهنم. خصوصا اذا الانسان سافر و هو مريض. و الله يكون السفر و الطائره لعنة من اللعنات.. اتمنى لكم جميعا الصحه و العافيه وقت ما تسافرون.
Krug tastes better than doM
Last time I took this same flight to BKK in business class, it was quite disappointing as the plane was worn and dirty, my seat smelled moldy, there was dirt and dust inside the gaps, the leather looked well used and worn. And the lounge was a let down as well, too big with too high ceiling, people look at you eye to eye because it feels just a giant lobby space, no intimacy, loud noise, too crowded and busy, never get seats at restaurant, refreshment stands too far away, doesn’t feel pampered, major failure in the lounge.
Bootleg Vicarious Voyager
oh well the site is inaccessible
مشكله النبيذ حرام.
Good presentation,
Just tone down the pretentiousness and eliteness.
It comes across as a little arrogant
