Great marketing – Qatar has hands down the best hard product
That chef at 13:00 sounds like a clown. The difference how he only talked about himself, why his job is so good but not about the service they wanna provide says it all. Airlines should have remained state-owned, the service quality would not have dropped.
Really good airlines and food
QATAR THE PARADISE FOR TERRORIST HAMMAS BOYCOTT!
Crazy, now let’s impose tariffs on them
How much do they get payed a month
How many slave die in qatar to build your stadium bro
Those 'des(s)erts' looks nice and warm
Food on Qatar airways is always a treat. Food at their lounges are delicious too. I am addicted to their eggplant dips in their Arabic mezze and can't get enough of them. Amazing in the air, but service on the ground like baggage handling is abysmal. The only two airlines that are consistent in the air and on the ground are ANA and JAL. I had the best lobster bisque at the JAL first class lounge at Narita in 2014. It was phenomenal. ❤
When I was a child, I loved flying as the food was always delicious. You always dressed in your sunday best and always minded your manners and your Ps and Qs. Everyone was always courteous, civilised and polite. Happy days back then. 😊
I also have a soft spot for Asian cuisine 😊 best in flight meal I ever had was on a Korean airways flight, bibimbap (mixed veggie beef rice bowl ), it was honestly one of the best dishes I can recall ever eating in my life
🤫🤫 Qatar as a country is a terrorisms enabler. It had a part to play in ISIS, Al Qaeda, you name it. But they also have a strategy. Pay cheap wages and hire from the 3rd world. There is a reason there were protests during the Soccer world cup.
In the end it is the strategy that counts not the intent
The secret is …..SLAVES ! !
Great content! Real picture of airline catering operation. Managing high volume daily 24/7 with the highest standards is impressive!!!
All savory dishes from Doh just too salty and now I know the one who tasted and approved em😂 but the desserts most are very good
Emirates is not the national airline of the UAE. Etihad is
Can we have:
– how Qatar treats it slave workers?
– how Qatar treats rapped women?
– how Qatar finances terrorism?
– how Qatar corrupted the European Union and the FIFA?
– how Qatar spread antisemitism in the US Campus?
– how Qatar influences with money journalism?
Ahh yes qatar. Where religious nutjobs rule by hating women and murdering thousands just because they dont believe in the jackass fairy tale books.
If you notice all the workers are Asian. Not a single Arab works.
🤢
he has the best job.
They said spirt makes you pay up if you want food like its a bad thing.
Id rather not eat on a plane and id rather not pay for it if i dont have to
My religion dictates that I eat pork with every meal. What do I do?
Q Suite is really hard to beat… I've only flown business with Qatar (for the past 4-ish years) and that's for good reason – the price-to-performance ratio is on point. Hard product is good, food is good, service is good. Doha is an excellent airport & Al Maha Meet & Assist is also a super experience that is included free for Gold/Platinum.
I wanted to try Emirates First Class from Europe back to New York last month, mostly to say "I did it," but it was 2x the price of Q Suite and honestly Q Suite is (in my opinion) basically a first class product already…
Meanwhile on most Asian carriers they give you a full hot meal on a 1 hour flight
They didn’t talk about the amount of food wastage from airline food.
I always wondered why so many people complain about airline food. I only flew with Qatar Airways From Belgium to Indonesia and back 8 times. The food was fantastic every time. Their service was impeccable, drinks as much as you want. This for the lowest price I could find for my route. Now, this video explains a lot.
✋✋ Philippines
Qatar is best. Good food and no worries about hijackings. They don't do their own.
rice was handscooped? 😮
There's no such thing as airline economy meal in US. Tiny bag of pretzels and half cup of drink (half of this cup is dirty ice), that's all.
Qatar, Emirates, Etihad are the best !!
I flew Montreal to Qatar , the 3 of us had lacto veg meal, it was not edible. The cheese was like plastic, and no taste at all. I usually enjoy all my flight meals but not this one .
Knowing that a lot of people touched my food and are underpaid when I’m in first class brings joy to my soul.
Qatar PR is working hard to improve the company image after numerous flops in 2022 and 2023. Happy workers in Qatar are making tasty food. Yeah, you convinced me for sure.
Looking for Qatar Airways flights just so I can try the food 🤣
Cooking from scratch and making everything inside kitchen, without buying anything precooked or semi cooked by an airline service provider is quite amazing and rarely found these days.
Nice
The food looks really tasty.
What about the food that left? Lots of food means lots into the dustbin..
I remember a flight from SF to Incheon on Asiana, and got bibimbap in real porcelain dishes with real metal chopsticks and spoons despite only being in economy. The stewardess wore this really beautiful apron when serving and it's probably still my top meal experience ever.
Probably the main ingredient is massive amounts of cheap underpaid, borderline slave, labor. It's Qatar. Look what they did to prepare for the world cup. They're not known for their human rights.
It’s impressive how much attention to detail Qatar Airways puts into making those meals. It really reflects the kind of hospitality you feel when you're in Qatar too.
Yet, I gotten sick eating Qatar Airways meal!
Very good Informative video ❤❤❤❤
Why USA or European airlines do not do this? It is too expensive because we do not have slaves like Qatar does. That is your secret
i really wish they would stop having people with accents narrate these some things are really hard to understand
As a cabin crew for QR, I can tell you , if you want extra always ask us. Don’t feel shy if you want to eat more. It will help reduce wastage. If we have in our galley, we will give you.😊😊
