On the trip back, I bought economy tickets as well, and the check-in desk did manage to print it on the correct boarding pass. However when I reach the boarding gate, and they just tear up my boarding pass, and I was thinking, shit, I will need to change my seat.
And she went to another counter, took up another sheet of boarding pass, and just plainly told me, you have been upgraded to business class.
So here's the mini review for the business class of the Skytrax award winning Qatar Airways.
Upon stepping onto the plane, there will be a flight attendant checking your tickets, instead of pointing you to the seats only, they will be leading you all the way to your seats. Upon settling down, another flight attendant will come around and ask what kind of drinks do you want, addressing us by our names, whether we want still water, sparkling water, wine, soft drinks, tea or coffee. After getting my drinks, another dropped by and gave me a small souvenir.
A Salvatore Ferragamo goodies bag.
The business class seat in the A330 aircraft is capable of going full flat, transforming it into a bed, although it's a hard bed. It's the same as the premium seats of AAX, just that this time, it comes together with back massage function.
The movies available on the business class entertainment system is the same as the economy class. Nothing special about it just that the monitor screen is nicer and bigger.
The food tray is also having marble like surface, not sure if it is just plastic with marble surface or it is really a thin slab of marble.
They would come and collect off all the glasses before the plane starting to take off.
Sooner after taking off, they would come around with a menu and ask us what do we want for breakfast. I decided on something off the menu, see if they can conjure up some magic. In the end, they did.
Pancakes with breads, muffins.
The food is not bad, though the pancakes is like the mini pannekuek we had in Amsterdam. And they stuffed some strawberries in the pancakes as well, which is much more better than the last pannekuek we had in that cafe in Amsterdam where I accidentally ordered an apple/banana pannekuek. That's the worst pancakes ever up to this point of my life.
After that they would leave us to do our own stuff, either sleep, continue watching movie, or playing with my phone. And they also gave us a few Evian bottled water for the rest of the journey.
After a while, they came with second meal option, which I chose some kind of fried vermicelli with seafood. It taste just like fried mee hoon. Once of the best I ever had in the air. When pairing it with ketchup, it's awesome.
Before landing, they would distribute some hot towel to refresh ourselves up.
Upon reaching KLIA, we get the perks of leaving the planes earlier and one of the first to get our luggages off the conveyor belt.
