I wish they didn't do the cabin photoshoot with the lights at full brightness, they should have used the softer light settings and put in some of the soft furnishings.


Sixth Freedom,

Do you know if the A380 will come with crew rest compartments?

What's stopping the rope being lifted?

Manners and decorum.

And i presume bar/flight attendants for those who don't have either of the above.

If you have ever flown F/J on QR you'd know that the FA's pounce on any Y pax that wander into your cabin. Amusing to see.

The aircraft will operate to north america, so I would say yes.

It happened on my flight before and yes te FA quite proactively evicted the offenders. But in a bar maybe the y pax can mix in?

Does anyone know which DOH-LHR flight the A380 will take over? I see there are 5 flights daily non-stop at the moment (2 A330s, 1 787, 1 777, and 1 A340).

I wonder why they put the bar between Y and J and not J and F.

I wonder if the armrests in Y can be folded upright to the gap between the seats. This is something I largely miss from my times with EK.

That way one galley can serve both F and J without food, folding trolleys and other service elements having to pass through the lounge.
