On January 30, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a public health emergency of international concern. With the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak countries all over the world are taking precautions in order to minimize the risk. Just a few weeks later the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Following the news, many airlines were forced […]
I had been on the exact same type of Qatar Airways plane before and had been on several types of A330s to Colombo (including Sri Lankan’s variant twice). At 2 AM local time the departure would be from a terminal jet bridge – no bus gate – that’s always a welcome (and rare) sight. The […]
For this Qatar Economy flight from Malta to Addis Abeba, I had reviewed a few options. I wasn’t sure what kind of aircraft Qatar Airways would use for the Doha to Addis Abeba leg (the equipment varies from an A320 to a 777W/L and B787). I also assumed the A320 from Doha would just come […]
Air Serbia has long been an airline I wanted to try out. Air Serbia is one of the success stories of the Etihad Equity Partnership. Alitalia, Air Berlin, and even Etihad haven’t been able to produce any stable profits. Air Serbia is a joint venture between the Serbian government and Etihad. This is similar […]
Qatar Airways runs a mixed fleet to the Maldives, two A320 (one is parked on the airfield for 10 hours) and two A359. While in Economy the experiences are often comparable in Business Class the A359 provides a huge lie-flat seat while the A320s just of recliner seats. The local airport staff took a solid […]
The day before my outbound travel to Kathmandu, Jet Airways had just announced the possible shutdown of the airline if employees did not start taking concessions. However, operations seemingly weren’t affected (as far as I could tell). Jet Airways operates from New Delhi’s Terminal 3, which is a new world of Indian aviation and looks more […]
After deplaning from my prior Saudia flight from Kochi, I followed the rather flimsy signs towards transit. An overly sleepy single attendant manned the security checkpoint and mentioned that he expected just four (!) other transit passengers within the hour. Not a busy day then! Riyadh Airport has two terminals that are interconnected behind security with […]
After my flight on the Qatar Business Class 787 earlier this year from Doha to Windhoek, I was curious to try the Airbus A350 in business class. The A350 is a fantastic new plane – wider than the Boeing 787 but with equally innovative features like higher cabin pressure, higher humidity, and an incredibly quiet […]
The A320 short-haul jets that Qatar uses for its Africa and Middle East network are NOT my favorite. Last time, I had the ‘pleasure’ of spending 8 hours on my way to Uganda. This time, I would make the journey from Dar es Salaam to Doha. Julius Nyerere International Airport is just about 7 miles from […]
