My connection in Doha was about three hours, so I spent that time at Qatar Airways’ Al Mourjan Business Class Lounge. I’ve reviewed that lounge before and spent most of my layover catching up on work, so won’t be reviewing the lounge this time around.

Comparable short haul service may be wide body operations between Australia and New Zealand and islands in the Pacific?
These flights are around the 3 hour mark and come with standard international service, including all of those amenities, aside from dine on demand.
Lucky it would be nice if you could quote prices you paid to take these flights, and in general. Thanks.
@erick Schmitt--He always does. See the introduction post. His roundtrip fare from JFK-EVN was 4360 USD.
Again what an impressive wine list! Royal Tokaji is a wonderful dessert wine.
QR first row seats are usually only assigned at airport during check in.
What happend after the "banging"? Did the bus leave without the rest of the passengers?
If only we got the same kind of service in the US with 3 hour flights....
As usual, amazing review, and my oh my I am salivating over that delicious looking food!
The impatient bus guy would have scared the heck out of me. I'm not sure I would have wanted to get on that plane. Was he close to you onboard, how did he behave?
To be honest, the bus for 1st/business class is a bit idiotic. I once waited 20 minutes on it as I watched two buses for economy drive off to the plane. The doors were closed and there was no way off. I would have preferred being given the option for the fast departing economy bus because it would give me 20 minutes in my comfortable 1st/biz seat with champagne and entertainment.
On my QR DOH-SGN flight two days ago they ran out of some meal options. As an alternate I was offered and accepted a “flight deck meal” which looked almost identical to the one you had on this flight. On arrival in SGN both my wife and I said, almost in unison, “wow, if only American treated us like this.”
More fluff about the product and no mention about the worthless bus to a remote location.
You would think the Royal Familys could have spent more money on enough true gates at DOH.
@ Mark
They’re not alone. Heathrow spent billions building T5, and from the beginning there were busses servicing remote stands. Though BA shoves all pax in the bus together, rather than trying to provide any premium service.
Meanwhile, at hyper-efficient Schipol, every single KLM cityhopper flght I have ever taken is at a remote stand. Every one.
I actually quite like remote stands. Rare chance to roam the airport grounds. I wish I could get them more often at ICN.
@ Nicki – Not just you. When I first read this review I could see everything, but I popped on as reference for a future QR flight and can't see the photos anymore.
My first ever business class flight was with Qatar Airways. I honestly didn't want it to end so quickly, it was such a great experience.
Odd question but do you ask the crew for “permission” when you swap seats from 3C to row 1?
Thank you. I’ve been trying to figure what type of seats our a320-200 had. Thank you for answering a question none if their customer service agents knew.
