i'm not sure if you guys are on facebook, but if you go and type in "Cardiff Airport Agents" you'll find a page showing the pictures. If i find another way to link them to this thread or on another website i will!

While it's not the EK lounge @ LHR T3 (closest one to Qatars LHR Lounge i have been in) it's certainly not bad. they say a new menu is to follow but not details as of yet.

I love the EK lounge. You can pay Ł40 for entry. Again well worth it IMO

Just to update - from what I understand there are now two lounges at CWL, the 51 degrees lounge for Qatar/KLM customers and the executive lounge for everyone else.

Yes I gathered that from your post yesterday. Really hope i can get a paid or miles upgrade for the first flight.

If not I will use the other lounge.

Are you sure on that price? It was $100 US when they first announced paid entry.

we definitely paid that , but this was 5 years ago. Basically we had a 7 hour delay with MH and we were informed by an airport staff worker that you could pay for entry to the EK lounge. It was a sort on secret then. Since then they advertise it.

For us it was a bargain. We had breakfast, lunch , a massage copious amounts of Champers and cocktails.

Still window seats left in both the front and back J cabins if it helps you make a decision! 14/36 in J currently on the CWL-DOH.

Thanks for the update. i am tempted but I have booked several J tickets this year. I may pay for one at the airport.

14/36 is looking better than 4/36. I hope the flights have decent loads in the coming months.

Is anything correct in this BBC article?! - First Qatar Airways flight from Doha to land in Cardiff - BBC News

Plane type, flight number, departure time are all wrong!

It’s the BBC, when have they ever been in the business of getting the information correct? Lol

The economy section of the plane looks to be about 65%. Better than I thought at one stage. I hope this route gets used.

I guess it will take a month or two to get going.
