Welcome to my next trip report, primarily covering travel on Qatar Airways, in particular in their new Qsuites business class.

A couple of years ago I did the following JFK-MAD-JFK, one day meeting and return the following morning. Arrived in JFK and took the airtrain to T8 to check in for QR, JFK-DOH-SYD. Fortunate to do in J but have promised not to repeat anything like that.
@JasonI know, EWR-JFK in the afternoon is an absolute nightmare. Any highway is excruciating, wethers its the G. Washington Bridge, the L.I.E, the NJT and the Belt PKWY its an experience people shouldn't experience
I LOVE flying, I travel ~160,000 BIS miles every year 90% of which long-haul business or first class... BUT even I get tired of it after a while. Just did DFW-TYO-CGK-DOH-LHR-DFW for work, all J class, in 8 days and I don't even want to hear about planes for the next month. Even though I am going to Miami in a week and then NYC and then LHR again and then MRU 😀
@Kyle, I was wondering the same thing. Lucky must still have 2 more weeks of craziness before he gets to settle down. Time fly's when you're flying!?!
Considering he probably cleared customs at 3:15 PM or so at Newark, that would be getting in to rush hour traffic by the time you cross into New York. Personally, I would have done NJ Transit to Penn Station, then LIRR to Jamaica and the Airtrain to JFK. $28 as opposed to probably $90-100 for an Uber, and a lot less risky in terms of time.
Lucky, you going to include your EWR-JFK transfer in your review of the first leg of the trip?
omg landing from Lisboa and flying to Doha on the same day???? Do you poop on the plane in these long ass flights/crazy tight flight schedules????? after eating so much on business class fights one has to wonder..... 😉
Ha! And I thought my flights had been madness with 12 by the end of Jan! Look forward to hearing about Armenia, it sounds brilliant.
The feeling of living in a palace where once the people who could decide the fate of Yerevan used to live, is satisfying, despite all the inconveniences the old house has. The Soviet government brought a new narrative about Yerevan, its style, texture, smell, and colors. The adjective “tufa-built[2]” came to replace the rough-stone shacks and brick-built houses, therefore changing the brick-built Yerevan into a new, more successful tufa-built city. Now walking in Yerevan, you find the poorest social layers living in medieval huts, built with light orange bricks and cemented in gray.
