Our flight was departing from Colombo Airport at 10:50AM, and we arrived at the airport at around 9AM. Upon arriving at the airport we had to go through two security screenings before we could even enter the check-in area. Check-in was quick, as was security and immigration. Qatar Airways uses the Araliya Lounge at Colombo…

i asked them as to what they do the manual safety demonstration. they informed that they have to do it once a year for an entire month to keep the crew properly trained.
During summer here in Doha its as hazy / dusty as it looks in the pictures. Exactly the same as when I look out the window right now!
The seating configuration is very similar to Lufthansa's C configuration on the A346, as it is 2-2-2 and the center seats angle towards one another. The main difference is the center passengers on the LH plane share a footwell. When I flew in the center of that configuration earlier in the year, my seatmate knocked into me with his knees while I was asleep, and woke me up! However, LH has larger foot wells for those on the left and right.
Lucky - film was renamed for marketing and branding purposes. In Europe, the brand name "Zootopia" was already taken by an actual zoo. In this case, it seems like Qatar has the European version of the movie.
Why are you "amazed" that it would take 20 minutes to seat 200 people. That's standard.
What's amazing to me is the US, where they seem to allow people to bring steamer Trunks on board, and waste a ton of time while the aisles are blocked by the cargo.loading operations. How many millions of dollars are they wasting!!
I recently flew QR business from PHL to DMM. Unfortunately, they "temporarily" removed the a350 from the route and so we had a 777. We had the same drink menu as on your flight. I found the wine selection to be subpar, especially for Qatar. I wonder why they stopped offering the 1979 Port wine and also what happened to the laduree desserts.
With EK flying the 380 to IAD, Emirates may be edging out QR to the mid Atlantic region
This configuration is what I came across in A333 CAI-DOH (F) one day. Most of time I get B777 CAI-DOH (F) so I was quite surprised seeing this configuration by chance. Seat looks sleek and elegant, but after taking this product twice in this route, now I actually prefer B777 (cos’ I am a lady traveling alone and most of time there is an Arab gentleman seated next to me in this route, I feel more comfortable in moving around in spacious B777).
I experienced this product in QR A333 CAI-DOH (F) one day. I normally get B777 CAI-DOH (F) in this route, I was quite pleasantly surprised to see this configuration. Seat looks quite sleek, modern and elegant, and service is quite nice as usual in this route. Enjoyed very much, but after taking this configuration twice, I actually preferred B777 in this route (cos’ I am a lady traveling alone and most of time there is an Arab or (somewhat overweight;;) Western gentleman seated next to me, I prefer more spacious B777 seat).
Pity you didn't try the Billecart Salmon. Putting Krug to one side, it is one of the best champagnes out there. And although not familiar with the particular brand, it's hard to go wrong with a McLaren Vale Shiraz.
Thanks for the report. I'll be flying Qatar Business for the first time next month so looking forward to it. The seat looks a lot like Lufthansa Business. Which do you find it better?
They disappeared so that you and the rest of the passengers can rest and not get disturbed constantly. There's a call bell that you can press if you require anything. Common sense man! Why do you want the crew to keep walking around and checking on you every few minutes, I would hate that. Your problem is so petty, seems like you don't fly frequently and not really fit to make a report.
Thanks for the great report Lucky! Never flown QR but I have many friends who have raved about their J class. Hope to try it someday to compare it to BA CW (although we know who the winner will be...).
Keep flying

Gulf Air also offer the choice of hot or cold towels on all their flights.
Ethiopian have installed the same seats on their new A350 aircraft, I found them to be rather comfortable.
Zoomania is called Zootropolis, Zootopia, Animalopolis(translated from polish) or Beastpolis (translated from Russian) depending on where you live.
In part of Trademarks to certain names in certain Regions but I assume also due to regional differences.
