Qatar Airways, I did see you on a news report on local HK news on my Cathay flight to Beijing on Saturday. Will be e-mailing you some photos soon too.
Else,
Everything was great on the flight. I became the first person to make the round-trip on the airline (first flight to LGW and first flight from LGW). Unlike the outbound trip to London, people mostly slept on the flight to Hong Kong. There was a cake from the catering service in LGW on-board, but that was the extent of the excitement (but they did give model airplane to Biz passengers, and a certificate to all passengers about being on first flight to HKG).
Food service was good. I was in Business Class both ways (upstairs for flight from HKG and 19 H in front row of nose for flight from LGW), but had the economy class meal coming back cause I wanted to see how it was. It was a little simpler than the Biz class, but still pretty good.
They have personal TV's in all the seats in both classes, and a flight route map on one channel, and that was fine too.
They will have a few bumps getting ready, but I think they will iron them out.
For the deal, I think people will like the airline. They plan on flights to Oakland, Calif. which I will love. I know that aircraft are tough to get now cause of delays with the A380, but that should work out I hope. Cause even though they don't have a frequent flyer program, the cost is worth it.

Just curious, didn't see you mention if there is any amenity kit in business ? What brand of product they use ? The lounge they use in HKG is it Plaza Premium or Travellers lounge ? Thanks

Thanks for the report
Qatar Airways...
Thanks for the report!
The CNAC VIP lounge is actually not too bad...
The amenity kit seems to be expensive, but I assume it is not a typical airline's amenity kit....
Just curious about the meals:
I guess it is safe to assume it is a "no menu" flight... but are the food pretty much served all at once? I guess you can't expect a full five course meal, but do they at least serve appetizer and/or dessert separately?
Thanks,
Carfield
