UL is usually 25%-50% less than other airlines in J on routes like DOH/DXB-HKG/BKK/KUL that I fly often. There must be a reason for this.
Though I have only flown them once (from DOH) and had a very good experience. A spicy curry was one of the best Y meals I have had on an airplane. They also fly widebodies from DOH unlike, e.g., 9W or AI.
I very much look forward to them in the alliance, but I think that it's fair to assume that they are far short of the QR/CX standard in this part of the world.
