I recently flew to London in First Class on Qatar Airways. Having used the airline for years, I am recognised by the crew very often and they continue to go that extra mile (pardon the pun) to make the journey more comfortable.
However, the flight in question above, where the cabin was under the command of a supervisor called Neil, and assisted by crew members Tidaporn, Maria and another who's name escapes me was the best flight I have ever ever had on any carrier. The crew just did that little bit extra to make us feel at home.
And it was nice at the end of the flight when the Purser thanked all the crew for their hard work over the PA just prior to landing. Don't hear that often enough on other airlines or even on QR, and its nice to overhear all disembarking passengers thank the staff for a truly wonderful experience.
My return flight to Doha with a supervisors Laura and Michelle was equally good.
Thanks to those mentioned above and I agree with the initial post from rsoman. Its easy to see why QR beat EK hands down when it comes to onboard service.
