Same as already mentioned. This was more comforting as I got my aisle seat for my knee.

Same as already mentioned. This was more comforting as I got my aisle seat for my knee.

I am a big person and have back pain and swelling in my legs, so this was a challenging flight due to confined space. I didn't find the crew very friendly either. I will think twice before flying long distances with Qatar again, due to the lack of legroom.

The 2nd flight from Doha to Mumbai was not of international level expected while booking with Qatar

Everything was top notch. Only issue was the delay, but Qatar worked diligently to get me on the next flight. They were kind to walk me to their lounge in Doha to make sure I ate, slept and showered.

Bag check in at DC was slow. Boarding process was slow more due to customers unfamiliar with how to board properly. Food and service was excellent!

Never got the chance to get on the plane as my inbound flight was delayed and the staff of qatar airways denied any help or support

My business class experience with Qatar is beyond excellent especially the crew as Jaly Liansangzuali. Rumana Khan go an extra mile to make the flight the most enjoyable one. They are friendly, kind, attentive. When I was nauseated the took care and checked me a few times how I was feeling and concerned.So fly Qatar and you will never be disappointed.

The flight was mostly good, but I sat next to a couple of passengers who were semi unpleasant. We sat next to the emergency exit. One man was drunk and when he got up to get something from the overhead compartment, he tripped and fell on me while I was sleeping, waking me up. The other man seemed sick as he was sneezing a lot and clearing his throat and nose often. This made the flight a bit unpleasant unfortunately. Otherwise I’m usually very happy with QA. Thanks

Except for the first row in business rest of the seat has less leg space while fully flat

Its a long flight. Please provide free wifi as soon as long ts not interfering with aircraft data.

Crew from ground is great but the aircraft is small and last 3 rows luggage section was occupied by crew so no space for travelers. Food was OK

One of the bags was damaged the offer from the airline wasn’t enough to buy another bag. Can you look into the case please case reference 2007025965730

I booked tickets for a family of five and specifically paid extra to select our seats together. We spent nearly $1,000 extra (around $100 per seat) for extra legroom so we could sit near each other. However, despite paying for this, we ended up being separated on the flight. This caused a major issue for our family because my parents do not speak English and rely on me to translate and assist them during the journey. I do not understand why Etihad changed our reserved seats without explanation. I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. I expect the airline to do better, and I am requesting a full refund for the seat selection fees we paid.

Good one but just notice that you have to ask several time to get water or coffee .

excellent, the staff was kind and the boarding process was with no issues or hassle

Same problem place in the middle so small Im 1,85 m so not good 👍

Horrible. After paying for my seats, I was cramped, had no overhead bin space, freezing as the flight had no temperature controls, the food was awful and served cold, when asked for snacks was told to wait and then never received any. I booked this flight as a partner through American Airlines but will avoid in the future.

Liked leg room Disliked unable to book to sit with my family on same flight without paying extra

I could not book in online at all which is what I always do to secure a window seat which is my preference.

Transit time could be 15 min longer atleast. It was right on the dot to boarding time. Giving minimal time to do shopping
