Hey guys and welcome back to another flight review.
In this video I'm flying Qatar Airways' Boeing 777-300ER from Doha Hamad Intl. to Istanbul Ataturk Intl. Airport
I filmed this review before the new Istanbul Airport opened,
which explains why I'm flying into the now-closed Ataturk Intl. Airport.
Doha Hamad International Airport is definitely one of my favorite airports. It's nice, large and spacious, and the colours go nice together.
I didn't have to check in since I already got my boarding passes back at Lahore yet
there were pretty long lines that emigration which slowed things down.
Boarding was on time and before I knew it, I was onboard the aircraft.
Qatar arranges the seats on the 777 in a 3-3-3
configuration, and I was sitting at seat 37A towards the back of the aircraft.
Qatar offers complimentary 30-minute access their onboard Wi-Fi services and paid services for people who wish to use it for longer.
For breakfast I chose the cheddar cheese scrambled egg served with potatoes, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
It was pretty decent as far as economy meals go.
The headphones were alright, they basically just your typical economy headphones.
As for the in-flight entertainment. It was also just above average yet, it was definitely better than many of their (Qatar's) competitors'.
The flight itself was pretty uneventful and our picturesque descent into Istanbul began roughly four hours after takeoff.
Okay, so this was my review of Qatar Airways' Boeing 777 from Doha to Istanbul.
The flight was pretty smooth, takeoff was on time, the IFE (inflight entertainment) was pretty decent,
the food was filling and the seat was also quite acceptable for this medium-haul flight.
Qatar's service is literally unmatched and I've yet to see an airline that has such unparalleled service throughout the entire flight.
One area where Qatar could improve however, would be by increasing the legroom that each seat has
since it's definitely not enough to sit comfortably. Other than that, it was a great flight and I'd definitely fly it again for this route.
As I mentioned earlier, I landed at Istanbul's Atatürk Airport
which has now been replaced by a new airport a little more towards the north.
I'm glad the new airport is open since Atatürk International was definitely starting to show its age, and it's also way too small AND
inefficient for the large number of operations it catered to.
