Question on Alcohol during Ramadan
Hi all, I have read some previous posts on service during Ramadan. I am booked in business to fly ARN - Doha - Bali during Ramadan
- Is there alcohol services during flights, will I notice any differance?
- In the lounge in Doha, is Alcohol served?
- I have a 10 hour layover and have booked the airport hotel in Doha, can I get a nice drink there ;-)
Thanks!
I love a good drink before a long flight, hence my post

I haven't flown QR during Ramadan but I have flown EK with an overnight, 2 nights stay, in Dubai. There was alcohol services on board and at the lounge throughout the whole day. In Dubai itself we can only order food and alcohol only through room service during the day time.

I have no problem at all with other people and their beliefs, and I am very accepting of them. However, if QR wish to be a 5 star international airline and a member of one world, then they should respect each individual beliefs, and I don't believe in Ramadan, or anything associated with it. So why, when I fork out 5k on a flight from Europe to Bali, do I get no wine?. If you wish to fast during Ramadan, great, fast. Don't make me fast with you
