It turns out that Qatar Airways has a competitive price. However, since we delayed the purchase for several weeks, the amount increased by PLN 300. Finally in June, ie Three months in advance for tickets from Warsaw to Bangkok and from Hanoi to Warsaw (Both with 8-hour overnight transfers in Doha) I paid 3000 zlotys 316.

I must confirm it The price was really nice. And the closer the departure date, the more its price increased by several hundred zlotys. Compared to the prices of flights from Germany, it also worked out – after all, we had to One way or another, for example, Berlin and who knows, maybe even spend the night there.

Can you really feel luxurious on a plane?

As I mentioned before, we left Warsaw in the afternoon. The check-in line was long, many people traveled to Hong Kong that day, which changed the country’s entry rules, and there was a lot of confusion. There were no restrictions on our travel to Thailand, so when it was our turn, we only showed our passports.

After the security check, we went to the gate and then boarded the wide-body Dreamliner (Boeing 787-8). The system gave us places for families right in front of the business class. The advantage of the location of these armchairs is really plenty of legroom.

There were blankets, pillows and headphones with the World Cup logo waiting for us on the seats.

After presenting our passports, we were already in the transit area. It was almost midnight and we didn’t have a flight to Bangkok until 8am. We originally planned an overnight tour of Qatar, but during this time we had to pass a negative coronavirus test to get out of the airport. In order to avoid additional costs, we have abandoned this idea.

It is worth noting that at Doha Airport you can buy flights that take several hours around Qatar. However, they only occur during the day.

We used the few hours waiting for a nap. There at the airport Private restrooms for men, women and families.

Because we were in a group of friends and didn’t want to break up, We went to the common area with armchairs and tried to take a nap there.

As in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, You don’t save money on air conditioning. cold on sofas We missed the warm blankets and pillows on the deck.

The way back was as good as the one in front. In seats on the plane from Hanoi to Doha for passengers Special groups of socks, blindfolds and toothbrushes were waiting.
