Qatar 77W Q Suites to Doha

Qatar Q Suites from Paris to Doha

I decide on Qatar for two reasons. A great mileage deal at only 75,000 AA miles for the Paris to Bali flghts, and Emirates Dubai to Bali is Business Class only. While Emirates First Class is one of the top 2 in the world, Emirates Business Class is mediocre and not even close to Q Suites.

Check in was easy as Terminal 1 was very quiet tonight.

Very strange features in Terminal 1.

My 24 hours with Qatar Airways begins with an hour in the Qatar Lounge in Terminal 1 of CDG.

Spacious and well appointed lounge with only a handful of passengers tonight. I relaxed and had a bite to eat in what used to be the First Class dining area, back when Qatar flew A380 with First Class to Paris.

Yummy tomato and basil soup.

And very nice lamb tajine.

At T-60, I headed off to security and my gate. Yeah, an Emirates A380 will do this.

Much calmer a few gates away.

After a number of Qatar First Class flights, this was my first Qatar Q Suite Business Class flight. And I was very impressed. Nice and spacious seats and cabin for Business Class. But the most impressive part was the soft product. Wonderful service and excellent food. The wines? Meh, not so much but then again neither are most First Class wines on airlines not called Emirates. Honestly, Q Suites is better than many international First Class products, like Qantas, British Airways and American.
