I changed all my bookings to Qatar . As long as TK will not provide normal services on long haul routes I am going to continue this way. Also their handling of short term cancellations (without early announcement) is no longer acceptable. Qatar is the new old choice of travel (for me south east asia)under this bad TK circumstances.

Especially since the recent status match from M&S Elite+ to Privilege Club Platium its time to test QSuite.
But we are waiting until Qatar re-opens the Al Safwa First Lounge in Doha.

No, the same catering concept stated in the WIKI is active.
In long-haul J, you would still receive pre-packaged boxes.
