Qatar Airways First A380 Delivered

Yes Ben, ill be on the 10th October flight to London in First.

Probably held up by seat or equipment vendors

No plans on flying Qatar A380 but hope to do so once it starts the DOH-JFK route. Looking forward to your first impressions!!! If you can take a selfie pic with His Excellency, that would be really cool!!! 😉

wow... this was worth the wait. and hopefully unlike Etihad they won't run out of food!

Business class looks good. And while First Class looks classy (no pun intended), those seats seem a bit behind the curve.

Love how economy gets a nice view of the lounge they don't get access to lol

certainly plenty of curves. That's probably what took so long.

The F class seats almost seem too far away from the entertainment screens.

Lucky...you missed the best quotes!! Here is His Excellence talking about his "rivals"

“We apologize that we have no residence, no suites, no butlers. But we have class,”

“Most customers have decided to go for Business Class,” Mr. Akbar Al Baker tells us. “It’s where we see our highest demand.”

I shall never understand why EY appointed Dannii as their A380 spokesperson.

@ Lucky -- I can't believe they didn't invite you to be at the press reveal!

Interestingly, AusBT commenters don't seem to be too impressed with F, especially since it's on the upper-deck and isn't a suite like most other newer F products.
