Qatar Airways seat reviews

Fantastic seat! This was my first time flying Qatar airways and I was very pleasantly surprised at the very generous legroom; the best I have come across on all the economy class seats I've ever flown in! The seat recline was also the best I have experienced in economy class. It truly made for an enjoyable journey

Back again to review another seat on my 6th flight on a Qatar A380. This time I was automatically seated in the upper deck economy cabin to the rear of the plane, normally reserved for Privilege Club and One World travellers. Seat was left hand window before galley bulkhead. So the cons...window had good view of wing and flap operation which I like to watch...nobody behind me so no pushing IFE all the way...was uninterupted and easy to get in and out...served food first always as it was close to galley...window bins to place items in, very handy and overall more personalised service almost like Premium Economy as smaller cabin. The cons...two seats abreast so trying to sleep or stretch out unless you are 4 foot tall or a contortionist is not possible...cabin I think is substantially noisier than lower deck as you are at the end of the fuselage and receiving the noise from four engines plus the wind rushing along the fuselage is just above your head. Could just be me, but I thought very noticeable given I have been in business ahead of the engines as well and was not as loud. Overall again, I love Qatar Airways and their service is the best out there and will fly them where I can.

I decided to upgrade to Business from Bucharest to Doha as this flight is often fully booked and is still a 5 hour flight, so arriving fresh for a connecting flight is always good. 1A provided me plenty of room, no obstructions and the pods were the new full lie flat business seat...excellent storage in and around seat and in bins above. Great seat to get in and out quickly as well. Despite being close to the galley, staff always made sure they were conscious of your privacy aqnd kept curtain fully drawn at all times...didn't even notice them. Food and service as always exceptional and as I say many times this is my airline of choice where possible. They have the polish others don't. Coffee on this flight was superb....had 1C spare as well, so was a very nice 5 hours and arrived feeling fresh for my 14 hour connector to Sydney!

Flew the A350 for the first time in January 2017, from DOH-ADELAIDE, so nice to relax in business on a 12 hour flight. Service in business always exceptional and my seat 9A is the last in business before economy class curtain divider and on the left hand side window. So absolutely no problems with the business pod itself, the IFE or the to seat service for drinks and food etc. So lets talk any negatives...you board first through front door but then economy boards through door two rows in front of 9A, so you have 10-15 minutes of people going by, but not too bad. Only downside for me with 9A was the curtain behind separating economy being opened and closed all flight, if you are not asleep or deep in a movie, you will notice it, and aside from the few economy girls who kept sneaking in to pinch fruit and chocolates from the centre bar lol, it was ok! A350 business toilets too are for me much better than on the A380, which are smaller and feel cramped. Only other negatives, being kept in perpetual darkness after departing DOHA to adjust to the sun in the east which comes on quite quickly...I don't like cabin darkness when it is light outside, thats what eye shades are for for those who want dark. Again though, Qatar is my airline of choice and love the service, very very hard to top.

I have flown this aircraft three times, once in Business, SYD-LON and then economy SYD-DOHA. The aircraft itself and Qatar service always immaculate and the cabin crew maintain attention to detail throughout flight. Ok so...business seat first 22A. This seat is left hand side, last row of business before the sky lounge area. Some people complain too close to the curtain separating the lounge and next to the toilets. For me was perfect, next to the lounge lol and next to a toilet !!..noise etc not an issue. The business pods are the best..full lie flat, range of controls and Qatar business service is 5 Star...so for me actually a good seat, well placed as I could get out of seat and wander directly into the lounge for a beer....ok economy I have been in 80D and 73A. Start with 73A...left hand side window with galley wall behind seat...means u lose a little in recline but not much, still goes back a fair way. Proximity to galley means you get cabin staff serving you first ahead of the service trolleys...bonus! Also I like long flights with nobody behind me, especially those who feel the need to continually thump on the touch screen behind your head while playing a game!..so for me I had no disturbance...galley noise not an issue as hardly any and leg room was fine...onto 80D...aisle seat on left hand side of the four seats in the middle...toward the back of plane...leg room unobstructed and ample...bonus is that simply hop out and close to the toilet and the rear door area where you can stretch legs on a long flight...downside...last to get served food and as I found, you will probably miss your choice of what you want to eat...little tip ..the outer armrests can be swivelled up by pushing in a tricky little lever where armrest joins seat, makes getting in and out so much easier...overall no complaints though for A380 or Qatar, they are my airline of choice...also flew the Qatar A350 business...amazing plane and service again hard to beat.

This flight was the most cramped I have ever been on. I'm 5'11", not overly tall but had bruised knees after the flight.
The seat pitch is not as advertised, in addition the seat width is thinner than anything I have experienced before, i had to sit an an angle to fit shoulders with the passenger next to me.
Food was delicious, but eating it was a struggle in the seats, even though the seat in from hadn't reclined!
Service was poor, on several occasions I asked crew for water and they forgot to come back. Rubbish took 2 hours to be collected after the meal.

Outstanding for the price, cannot fault this airline would definitely travel with again in the future. Staff very accommodating all round very pleasant trip.

I am stout, not Portly,
but have TOTAL CONTROL of my baggage.
Others are small,
yet hope to bring a carload of cases.
Show me an hourly rate per 100kilos - maybe on selected flights,and I would be Most Interested..
review written in anticipation..

O voo foi PERFEITO, menos no final, que o avião desceu MUITO rápido.

Aisle seat as usual. Very nice facility. Except for the head rest which can only be shifted up or down unlike its 777.
Leg room is bad and narrow. I am not big but have longer legs (stand at 175) so an unintentional stretch may reach the front passenger. I was used to their 777 and almost will not recommend. Choosing row 10 and 26 probably helps a fair bit.
