Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and Qatar Airways First Class to Doha!
 
One of my goals this year is to visit as many new countries and try as many new airlines as possible. With that in mind, I ended up going to Doha for spring break, flying Virgin Atlantic Upper Class to London, and then Qatar Airways first class from London to Doha.

I'm in the process of posting the trip report (with lots of pictures) on my blog, and will update the links below as they become active. Expect about one installment per day.

Introduction
Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport
Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse San Francisco
Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from San Francisco (SFO) to London (LHR)
Virgin Atlantic Arrivals Lounge London Heathrow
First Class on the Heathrow Express – is it worth it?
Hotel Indigo London Paddington
SkyTeam Lounge London Heathrow
Qatar Airways First Class from London (LHR) to Doha (DOH)
InterContinental Doha
Exploring Doha
Qatar Airways Premium Terminal Doha
Qatar Airways First Class from Doha (DOH) to London (LHR)
Crowne Plaza London Heathrow Airport
Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse London Heathrow
Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from London (LHR) to New York (JFK)

Conclusion

Thanks for reading!

I was all ready to read a great trip report and then realized I'd have to wait for the next installment.

+1, you mostly take airport, lounge, and arrival as one installment. And now for every single aspect one installment! So curious about the upcoming parts, VS and QR in premium cabins sound so awesome!!!

Gives new meaning to the term "teaser"! Can't wait for the updates.

I can't wait to see your trip reports during in-flight from SFO-LHR. Looking forward to it.

Another great report, though I'm sure you've already heard that plenty of times. I don't blame you for not reviewing UA 225, that's about as boring a flight as they come. Looking forward to the rest!

I'm eagerly awaiting the QR segments...hurry up! :D

Sorry about the teasing, folks. The portion of the report covering the Qatar Airways first class segment from London to Doha is now live.

lucky9876coins Apr 7, 2011 11:52 am

Updated now to include both Qatar Airways and Virgin Atlantic sectors.:)

Amazing report - so packed full of information. Thanks for the great pictures!

Fantastic report. The buffet in DOH F lounge looks ridicolous. La Grande Dame also, how was the 1998? How does it compare to the Krug?

I see Virgin are still serving dire junk :o
