QR159: DOH-CPH (Doha to Copenhagen)

Boeing 787-8 (Two Class Configuration)
A7-BCQ
Seat 3K
Departure: 08:00AM
Arrival: 01:30PM
After a short rest in the lounge, I headed to the boarding gate. Unfortunately, we were at a remote stand for this flight. Boarding began with QR boarding coach pax only. Once that was complete, a separate bus arrived for business class pax. At the time, I found it a bit annoying that business class passengers were not permitted to board first. When I got to the plane, I realized why they did it this way.
A7-BCQ
Despite being hooked up to ground air, the interior of the plane was quite hot (at least 80F). It was easily 95F outside, and the ground air couldn't keep up with the cooling demand with the aircraft door (2L) open. From that perspective, it made total sense to minimize the amount of time J pax had to sit and stew in a hot plane.
Luckily the forward cabin was only 30-40% full, so boarding was over very quickly and we were on our way without delay.
Menu
My previous breakfast had been pretty bad, so I decided to go for a sure thing. I was much more satisfied this time around. The food was quite good overall. The service, as always, was impeccable.
Yogurt
Omelette
Afternoon Tea
Minus the tea
I spent most of the flight watching Netflix and relaxing (my usual). Before long we were landing at the dreary and much cooler CPH.
