Crew were also fine, but spent most of the flight evicting Y class passengers who kept trying to sneak into empty seats in Business. One guy in particular was sent back at least 3 times that I saw, and probably more while I was asleep. There was a breakfast service that I skipped for the extra sleep but the crew brought me a warm croissant and coffee as we started descent. No complaints.
thanks for your reply. i could do QR through DOH (from JFK), but since we're doing that on the return, i figured it would be nice to try a different airline and spend a day in Paris on the way. Just don't want KQ to be a complete letdown.
