Europe to HKG: EK or QR
Hi, difficult question, but price aside, what would you consider to be the best experience to fly business class from Europe to HKG?
I usually fly EK, so I know their A380 are great in terms of comfort and… well they have a bar! But lately QR seems to grow on me too…
Connection in DXB is around 3 hours, while in DOH it’s 1:30 hours… And reading Lucky’s reviews, the lounge in DOH is amazing.

Welcome.
Problem with QR is that their planes vary a lot. The A380, A350 and B787 have great products. The B777 is so so without direct aisle access and the rest of their fleet is angle flats.
What kind of plane do QR fly to HKG when you are planning to go?

Thanks!
It’s scheduled to be an A330-200 air craft to HKG.
Would you like angle flat or angle flat or angle flat?

If you are used to EK A380’s these planes might be bit of a downgrade.

Some A330 are being slowly upgraded to better seats apparently, sadly there is no seat map on QR fleet webpage
