I get discounts on qatar. My chachoo works for them :D. And theyre somewhere between one and two. Legroom is excellent

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?


**wow! chaachoo hoN to aise!!!

i'm encouraged that they have more legroom! thankoo :)

i couldn't believe that Qatar Airways is $100 cheaper than the least expensive airlines...i'll be flying from Toronto to Bombay**

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

really good value for money. I was actually in toronto not too long ago. Loved it :). It was my first time in canada i drove up with a couple of friends from NY. Was given a bit of hassle at customs coming into canada lol

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?


**oh achchhaa...borders at land crossings between the US and Canada are quite liberal but depends i guess if you are young, male and a Muslim.

yeah, i'm surprised to see their fares so low at just above $1000. do they show Indo/Pakistani movies?**

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

yeah. bollywood/lollywood/hollywood you name it. good selection of music aswell.

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?


oh wow! i'm deffo taling Qatar Airways this time, iA...the ONLY problem is that it involves one extra connection thru Montreal...well, can't be choosers :D

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

lol. Qatar is up and coming. Its often dubbed "the next dubai", minus the amount of debt dubai is in right now but qatar could learn a thing or two from dubai in that sense

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?


**ahaaN...what's the relationship, if any, between Bahrain and Qatar...they are so tiny that it's hard for me to make a geographical difference. do we need visa to enter Qatar/Bahrain?

yeah, Dubai progressed too fast and the bubble seems to be bursting.**

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

well i didnt cuz im a british passport holder. But im not sure about yourself. The difference is none, culturally speaking. Geographically i think qatar might be slightly bigger though dont quote me on that. There are border disputes going on right now. The qatar bahrain causeway is due to get underway shortly aswell (road and rail network connecting both of them). Also i dont know if youre aware but qatar just got the soccer world cup recently (hosts) which means hell of a lot of investments.

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?


**oh i see...i think i'll be subject to same visa requirements as you were on your British Passport because i hold a Canadian Passport. thanx

yup...it will be a big boost to the local economy but it's gonna be a big headache for poor people living there in terms of extra traffic on their roads. i think it's worth it!

OMG...they have border disputes too?**

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

yep unfortunately so lol. Although its pretty small scale compared to some of the ones in africa

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

**yep, that’s some consolation…lol

i’ve a question for you…since u live in Edinburgh, you are the right person to ask i guess! :slight_smile:

we have a street called Edinburgh Street…most Desis pronounce as Edinburgh [like we pronounce Pittsburgh…and, i find it more logical] while most Canadians pronounce as**** Edin-Bra**** [lol @ latter part :cb:]…why do they pronounce this way while spellings of the word does NOT support it…is there some kinda regional twist there?**

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

hahaha. good question. I actually live in New York now but i am originally from edinburgh. No thats actually how its pronounced in british english. I know in american/canadian english you tend to pronounce things as they are spelt and vice versa. Anyways i have a question for you?? whats the difference between an american and canadian accent?? Ive got "the stare" for mistaking a few canadians for americans lol

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

Good

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

everyone i know who has flown them recently has had a good experience. 7 years ago, there was a bad one, but since then, it was fine.

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?


**oh i see...:)

to answer your question i would say there is hardly any difference in how we talk in Canada and across the border. the difference is basically in how we spell words...we have two dictionaries available...one Canadian and one American...Americans have over simplified it like check for cheque. in Canada we still use cheques and get an error lol...i must admit that American spellings are catching on in Canada as well.**


thankoo...that;s what i'm hearing now.


oh achchhaa...i think your assessment is correct...i hear more praise than negative criticism. i bought my ticket today...i saved $111 as compared to the lowest fare that was available...i paid $989 to Bombay :) their seat sale just started today. :)

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?

Wow, $989 sounds like a steal.

It's pretty good. We are actually flying Qatar this December. Doha airport was OK 3 years back. They used to have lounges that you could use for longer layovers. Not sure now. Guess will find out soon.

Re: how good is Qatar Airways? have you flown with them?


**yeah, it is indeed! actually i was the one of the first customers to buy because this seat/promotional sale just got underway today. i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw it. i should have bought a lottery ticket as well :D

yeah, will find that out. i think Qatari Govt injected a lot of money into this airline in order to compete with Etihad N Emirates. let's see how they perform over the next few years. :)**
