Qatar Airways A350 IFE - A Clear Winner Here

Qatar, Qatar, your IFE is nifty
Comes with the big screen, even Economy
Much fun to fiddle, touchscreen is groovy
Congrats to Qatar - your A-Three-Fifty

Qatar, Qatar, your IFE is clear
The screen so sharp, nothing comes near
Many features, movies in full gear
Congrats to Qatar, clear winner here!

Qatar, Qatar, your IFE is clear
The camera on the tail, also in the rear
See so many cities, and drink my Heineken beer
Congrats to Qatar, a clear winner here!

Qatar, Qatar, your IFE is nifty
Great joy to fiddle, my fingers move quickly
Screen responds surely, brightly and swiftly
Congrats to Qatar - your A-Three-Fifty

Note - IFE stands for In-Flight Entertainment System.  This video was taken on a flight from Doha to Singapore on the new Airbus A350 operated by Qatar Airways in Economy Class.  Qatar Airways is the first airline in the world to operate the modern and advanced Airbus A350 aircraft.



This video is the full flight review of the Doha to Singapore flight on the Airbus A350-XWB.

Ode to Qatar Seven Eighty Seven (Boeing 787)

Qatar, Qatar, how cramped you are
Your 787, so beautiful from afar
Your airplane food was delicious to eat
But my shoulders fall out of your Economy seat



Qatar, Qatar, how cramped you are
Your 787, so lovely from afar
Your stewardesses, attentive and kind,
But the lack of leg space blows my mind.

Qatar, Qatar, how cramped you are
Your 787, so awesome from afar
Your website says a wide and spacious seat
But my back hurts, did I mention my feet?

Qatar, Qatar, how cramped you are
Your 787, So beautiful from afar
Flying your A350 was aviation heaven
But never again your Seven-Eighty-Seven!

Qatar Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner Very Cramped Seats in Economy - AVOID!

Qatar Airways.  They call themselves a 5-star Airline.  To be fair, they are a 5-star Airline in many ways.  However, there is one big issue with their Boeing 787 Dreamliner.  In Economy, their seats are cramped.  And the legroom is terrible.

I have done two flight review videos which cover the cramped seats in some detail.

This is Qatar Airways Boeing 787 Singapore to Doha.


This is Qatar Airways Boeing 787 London to Doha.


Think twice before you fly with Qatar on their Boeing 787 in Economy because of their cramped seats.  They have 30 Boeing 787s on order.

To be fair, other than the seats, everything else about Qatar was good.  The flight attendants were pleasant and attentive.  The catering was good.  Flight was safe.  Pity, they decided to provide such cramped seats in the Boeing 787, which made it no dream for a person to fly in Economy.
