CCU-DOH on Qatar ??
Has anyone flown CCU-DOH on Qatar airways, recently.. I want to know if their business class is the same as etihad (fancy sofa seats with a leg rest..!!) or is it the recliner beds like Emirates..?? Just wondering if it's worth the money to fly in business.. Never flown Qatar before (even in economy)..

Ok.. good to have some idea.. it's just that CCU is not an important sector for any airlines and so they usually have their worst aircraft for this segment.. so wanted to be sure before I spend any money.. i hate spending money on just marginally better than economy type of business class.. I recently flew Etihad on BLR-AUH in business but I wasn't that impressed.. thankfully it was just $200, but still I wouldn't spend any money again on business on Etihad for that sector..

I don't know what a "recliner bed" is, exactly but if Seatguru is correct, the A321 has seats that recline to 160o; the A320 seats recline less. Neither is a "bed". The plane normally used on this route is the A320.

That's on the A319's, which QR is plying in an all-J config to LHR. These all-J birds are just slot-fillers that with eventually be replaced by A350 / A380, while the A319's will be shifted to Qatar Executive.
