Qatar Airways promotes itself as the world’s ‘Only 5 Star Airline’. They must be the only ones to believe that rubbish. My first flight with tem was on a plane that looked like it had been decorated to look like a bad message parlour/brothel. The seats were poorly covered; amenities poor and the staff looked bored or were extremely indifferent. I would not have given it anything but a 2.5 star rating. Free drinks had to be coerced out of the staff who acted like they were the ones paying for them. The TV screen had a couple of channels that could not be stopped or paused like on GOOD AIRLINES. And their prices can be shocking.
Their organisation on the Ground during a transfer to Yemen was scary. The flight to Yemen was, in my experienced opinion, unsafe. The staff could not control a large group of women and seating was thrown into chaos. The crew did not have a good understanding of English and spoke no Arabic. Arguments broke out among passengers because everyone was in the wrong seat and many would not sit down. We were delayed ON THE PLANE by 1 hour because of this. They disregarded many sections of the safety briefing due to time and seeming lack of training. Shocking. Movies? None. Drinks? 1 and that was trouble to get. I have some peanuts thrown at me and the whole flight was like a zoo. Passengers used mobiles actively the whole flight and no staff member did anything about it.
5 Star Airline? No. 5 Ring Circus and total rip-off? Yes.
Qatar Airways. Do not fly them.
Fly Emirates. Wish I had.

Voted as a 5 star airline by Skytrax was a serious reason for me to choose Qatar airways for flying to Myanmar. Apart from that was its competitive price compared to that of Thai.
My overall impression was about mixed and rather average. Flights were punctual indeed, the planes in good condition, flights attendants multilingual and helpful, food just ok but what they lacked compared to Emirates was inflight entertainment. Overhead tv displaying films which in most cases were uninteresting. So flying time was very boring (specially Athens-Doha section where the plane was smaller)
I found them too hysteric with baggage excess weight not to mention what problems they caused to me because I didn't have a visa in my passport. I showed them my visa on arrival approval letter but they refused to let me get in the plane as "this was not official document"!! So I lost the flight!!!!!!!! You can imagine my dissapointment. Next day I contacted their headquarters, they apologised for not being properly informed about this possibility and they put me in the first plane to fly to Doha and onwards to Yangon

This convenient airport is located nearly right downtown! But it looks like they're filling-in some open water to the east in the shape of a runway.....
Doha is the base/hub of Qatar airways, and offers frequent direct flights to many international destinations throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. They have been rated one of the best airlines in the world.
The website has a great interactive route map.

I just thought that I should share this with everyone.
If possible, don't fly with Qatar Airways. I had to fly Qatar Airways from London to Kuala Lumpur for a friends wedding as this was the cheapest option by about £200. After the experience, I think next time I will opt to pay the extra £200 and get a more expensive flight.
Qatar Airways is advertised as a 5star airline. I don't know how these ratings are given out for airlines but I definitely disagree. I am used to flying with Singapore Airlines and I think the Qatar is definitely not in the same class. One example is that when food was served, the passenger in front was reclined. Normally on Singapore Airlines, all passengers are asked to put the seats up during meal time...nevertheless, that wasn't what astounded me. When we asked the flight attendant to request the passenger in front to put his seat up, we were flatly told, 'No, you ask him yourself...sir'.
WHAT THE *&^%!?!
I rest my case.

making your way to Doha is best done by embarking on their national carrier, Qatar Airways. the experience you get onboard is one which truly brings out the Qatari essence in it in terms of hospitality. Their planes on certain routes are relatively new, which is a joy to be on.

My flight in to Doha (my connection before heading on to Bangkok) was an absolute pleasure. I have no fears of flying or anything like that, but I can rarely say that I've enjoyed six and a half hours pent up in the same spot. However, the fact that I did is a testament to the staff and the facilities offered by Qatar Airlines. The staff were uber friendly, and always had a smile on their faces, and the food was the best I've had on a flight. The clincher though was the in flight entertainment, and the revolutionary audio/video on demand. You can choose from a host of movies and music albums, and start and pause them at any time. Brilliant!

In my humble opinion, the finest airline country in the world. I have never been as pampered in coach as I have been with Qatar Airways. Everything from the free travel kit to the unlimited drinks was a refreshing change from the smelly carcass that is Delta service. The stewardesses were beaming and their uniforms were clean and well kept. The planes were in pristine condition as well. If you fly into Doha, do yourself a favor and fly Qatar Airways.
