We've seen a ton of innovation from airlines when it comes to their premium cabin products. From onboard showers in first class to suites with doors in business class, flying is better than ever before for those in the pointy end of the plane. Qatar…
Premium cabin seats have come a long way, and for over a couple of decades now we've seen fully flat seats on commercial planes. It used to be that just first class had fully flat beds... and then business class... and now we have business class seats…
Air Italy is 49% owned by Qatar Airways, which is owned by the government of Qatar. Air Italy is expanding like crazy (though they've already canceled some of their expansion), and obviously that growth is fueled by Qatar Airways, given that they're…
Earlier I wrote about how it's rumored that the end of Airbus A380 production will soon be announced. Somewhat unrelated to that, there's an interesting announcement from Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways' CEO. While Qatar Airways has been the launch customer…

As an update to the below post, I know a lot of people were excited about Qatar Airways introducing Qsuites to LAX as of February, as it looked like the route would get Qsuites daily. Note that Qatar has updated the schedule, and for now flights on…
