TRIP REPORT | First Time on Qatar Airways A380! | London to Doha | QATAR AIRWAYS Airbus A380
Qatar Airways Trip Report flying from London to Doha onboard one of the Qatar Airways A380s on a beautiful winter day both in Europe and Asia.
A comfortable flight from London Heathrow T4 to Doha Hamad International onboard the Qatar Airways Airbus A380-800. This was my first time flying on the Qatar Airways A380 and I must say it's a great plane, like any other A380 I've flown to date. However, I felt that other A380s had more legroom than this one. I'm not saying it wasn't good, but the legroom could be better.
We took off from Rwy 27R in London Heathrow. Just after departure we made a 180° turn to the left and started our route towards Doha. We crossed the English Channel and entered Belgium, flying towards Brussels. From there we flew over Cologne, Frankfurt, and Nuremberg, before entering Austria. We overflew Linz and Vienna, flying towards the Balaton Lake in Hungary. From there we flew towards Serbia and Bulgaria.
We then reached the Black Sea, which was fully covered by clouds. We entered Turkey and, luckily, the clouds disappeared when we were starting to fly over the Zagros Mountains. This was the first time I saw them fully covered by snow. It was really amazing! We flew then over Iraq until we reached Basrah. From there we flew towards Kuwait City and entered the Persian Gulf, flying in direct course to Doha, where we landed ahead of schedule after a beautiful night approach.
About the onboard service, around 1h after departure, the crew served the main catering service which for this flight was breakfast. I went for the Chicken sausage with scrambled eggs. It came with some fresh fruit, a warm croissant with marmalade, and yogurt. Everything was quite tasty, but once again, I found the size of the warm meal really small. That was the reason why I asked for another one if available. The crew said that for sure I could, they had spare meals. With that second one, I felt it was a perfect meal size for the 5h connecting time I would have in Doha.
Around 2h before landing the crew offered a snack. It was a chicken pastry (also called "All Day Snack"). It was warm, which is something I really appreciate... but it wasn't anything special. Very plain in flavor and it didn't look very healthy. Good for a snack but I guess you expect more from the airline that was awarded 7 times as the best in the world.
Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with Qatar Airways? Which route? How was the experience? Which model did you fly? Have you ever flown on the A380? Have you ever been in London? Maybe in Doha? What do you think about the Qatar Airways service?
Lots of things to talk about! Read you all in the comments!

Your video is so clear.What camera do use please.Thanks
"3 boys that didn't know what a good education is" Charming comment.
That's exactly what they were. 6h shouting, talking aloud disturbing everyone around, hitting my seat... Clearly, those 3x 10+ years old boys didn't know how to behave in public. If that's the case, they shouldn't be taken on board. And if they do, their parents should be next to them taking care that they don't disturb people. None of that happened.
Respect is not taught these days.
I genuinely appreciate the inclusion of the safety demo during taxi - it adds a reassuring touch to the flight experience. Hearing fellow passengers chatting during climb-out brought back fond memories and brought a smile to my face. Even though I'm a frequent flyer now, it reminds me of my early days of flying. Kudos to maintaining these aspects! On a related note, just like the comfort of a smooth flight, I rely on Express Parking for stress-free and efficient parking solutions whenever I travel. Their service ensures a hassle-free start and end to my journeys.
Nice video. I particularly enjoyed the landscape views and the info you provided. Doha looks awesome from above.
Absolutely, landscape views are just most interesting part of any flight, because the nature of the planet is incredibly unique and beautiful to observe from the plane window 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much mate :)) Glad that you've enjoyed it so much!!
So beautiful Qatar Airways
The A380!!! 👑As usual i cant wait ❤✈️
Starting very soon!! :))
Great video again this week. 😊 Qatar Airways was super & I always love seeing the giant bear at the Doha airport . Food did look 😋 delicious. You were right about the boys behind you . I would rather have the quiet & totally behaved service dog you had on one of your flights earlier. Be safe. 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻🇺🇸✈️
Hahah Sad but true... That one behaved 100 times better than these guys...
This trip report shows the true experience that 85% of travellers, like us, go through, on our travels. The other 15% are fortunate to get to fly in business and first class, and avoid all those annoying young children passengers as well as wailing infants. Many thanks for another excellent trip report!👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thanks so much!! Glad that you enjoyed this "short flight" :P
En el caso de los bebés se entiende, recuerda que a la mayoría les afecta la presión a sus oídos, pero mocosos mal educados como los de este vuelo que horror.
Es tu posición...... pero la vida se vive mejor aceptando impases 😂😅
stunning footage and quality editing
Thanks!!
Another bucket list for me. To fly the 380, looked like a great flight!
Best of luck with that! :))
Beautiful Mountain View’s, really nice to enjoy nature seen from the window, which is most important part of any flight! Food is nice and beautiful, would love to fly QR!!!
Thanks so much, Ivan! Glad that you've enjoyed this Trip Report :) Good news is that we still have another QR A380 flight to come! :)) Enjoy the weekend!
Really amazing video! 😀CONGRATS!
Wow, that person sitting next to you was particularly annoying. That would have annoyed me for sure. Apart from that, it seemed like a good flight.
There were 3 boys seating behind me. To be honest, it was one of the worst flights I've done thanks to those ones... on the video you almost don't hear them because I used 5h extra to edit all the sound onboard so the viewers don't need to listen to the bull***** they were saying and doing.
@@OnBoardHD yeah man, it's unfortunate you had to sit near them. Some people just don't have manners or a social conscience. I would have used my noise cancelling headphones but as you're doing a review it's not that easy. Good job on remaining calm.
Must off been PAIN
As someone who was like that as a kid, I can tell you why. They have never been in a plane or haven’t been on one in a while so it seems so cool to them. They’ve probably only seen the plane once or twice, and considering it’s an A380 as well, they sure must have been real excited. However I can see your frustration and annoyance with them as well.
Had that on etihad airways the kids kept kicking the seat so i had to go back there and kick there as- @@cun7us
I'm really glad to see “Türkiye” instead of “Turkey”. Also at 18:13 there are Türkiye flag on the huge building due to earthquake as an earthquake survivor ı really speacial thank to Qatari people.
Glad that you've enjoyed it! Looking forward to fly again to Türkiye! :))
This looks like a smooth flight on a huge plane.🙂
Let's see tomorrow how it went! See you at the Premiere! :)
The A380 is amazingly smooth, we flew from Amsterdam to Dubai and the sound inside was also very low according to normal planes.
❤
Food Service looked fantastic!!
It was great :))
Nice Service
Glad you liked the video :)
That is one of the noisiest trip you have done. Good vlog as always.
Glad you enojyed it! :)
Another excellent trip report, we flew on the A380 last year in business with Qatar on our way to Thailand and they were exceptional. Thanks for sharing such interesting reports of great quality. Safe travels
Thanks so much!! Flying in Qatar's Business class must be an amazing experince! :)
Hello, greetings from Germany (Nuremberg) Once again a great video, many thanks for that. In your video I have for the first time in a KZhead Flight video seen my hometown Nuremberg. Thank you and keep up the great videos.
Thanks a lot! Glad that you've enjoyed it! It's not very usual that so many cities in Germany are with this good visibility. Maybe that's the reason hehe Have a nice Sunday :)
Flew many times with this Aircraft. Qatar Airways excellent service both ground handling and on air.
It's very sad that they are already starting to retire it... It's by far the most comfortable plane they have... =(
Will be travelling with this airline again in 2 days. Quite excited! They were great last year and I’m sure they will be again this time round
Wish you an amazing trip!!
@@OnBoardHDThank you! Wish you well!
Been on A380 Qatar airways was a lovely flight and the landing was perfectly smooth the airplane was quite and chill. thanks for uploading the video great quality❤️ and amazing video
Great! Hope you got some nice memories from your flight while watching this Trip Report! :)
Thanks for this excellently detailed trip report. I will be experiencing my first flight on the A380 though I have flown many trips with other aircrafts. I intentionally route my flight to Africa via Doha. I was planning to document my trip but you've done such a good job with this documentary that made me shelve the idea of repeating what you've done. In addition, I wouldn't be able to do a better job. I enjoyed every bit of the report and watching others from your channel as well. Thank you.
Thanks so much!! Glad that you've enjoyed it so much! :) Wish you an amazing flight!
Im flying with Qatar from dublin to doha an on to Bangkok looking forward to it love flying with Qatar 💜
This one was a great flight! Soon we'll have another QR A380 Trip Report! :)
Qatar Airways are ranked 1# Best airline in the world

Amazing Doha at night. Nice P.A by Captain good customer awareness.
Tail CAM was just awesome ....

Beautiful clouds n flught
Glad that you liked it :)
QATAR was my first A380 experience. OMG 🙏 what a treat !!!
I really enjoyed this flgiht :))
Flew with Qatar in Jan on their now discontinued Auckland - Adelaide service. QSuite was amazing! Economy on the return leg also a pretty solid product 👌✈
Hopefully I'll be able to try the Qsuite in the near future! :D
Love your take off view from Heathrow. Qatar airways mango juice is the best
Thanks so much!!! Glad that you've ennjoyed it!!! :))
Absolutely brilliant video, you took us with you on your journey 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks a lot! I'm happy that you enjoyed it :))
I really like hearing the safety demo during taxi thanks for not removing it, Hearing the passengers around you during climb out bought a smile to my face. I fly all the time now and I still remember when that was me :)
Glad that you've enjoyed the video. :)
Very good videography short and crispy with all the announcement and safety demo... Qatar Airways always my BEST Airline
Thanks so much!! Definitely, a top airline worldwide! Always a pleasure to fly with Qatar Airways :)
Beautiful video. Those kids were a pain. Maybe The A380 is large enough to have an onboard nursery/creche? 😉
haha It would be interesting... it would definitely make the flights more peacefull :D
Went on Qatar A380 night flight from the lovely Hamad airport , Doha to Bangkok last year. Very good food , leg room & service. I enjoyed this video 😊
It's sad now that they are getting grounded again 😢. This aircraft is a beauty and it's so comfortable to fly on it
Yes... They've said that they are plannig to retire the last one by 2025-2026, so still a little time ahead apparently :)
I have flown with them from Cardiff to bankog many times fab service
Absolutely beautiful sharing and the last clips of the video looks spectacular gorgeous, night filming and you nailed it again, and I really appreciate and enjoy watching your new sharing, keep it up Sir and have a wonderful blessing weekend to you Sir .. Merci beaucoup Monsieur
Thanks so much mate! Next weekend we'll cross the Atlantic on Delta ONE! :D
Still amazes me how immense some airports are. At taxiing and landing I could see only lights of the airport as far as you can see.
Yeah! Today's megahubs are really huge! Glad that you enjoyed the Trip Report :))
Very good video, I love your trip reports and my fav reports are from A380 :)
Thanks a lot!! We'll have more a380 soon! (BA included :)) )
I done this same flight in January then onward to Delhi on 350-900. Good flights.
Hoep you got nice memories of you trip when wathicng this Trip Report! :D
Credit to you for putting up with that noise....great visuals, at least! ;) Thank you.
Thanks mate! Glad that you enjoyed this Trip Report :)
Excellent
Thanks :)
Tremendo, los que estamos desde el principio, veíamos como los viajes eran solo por Europa, ahora el canal ha crecido, guay
Jaja Muchas gracias!!! Un placer que hayas disfrutado de esta evolución! :))
Hey! This is a nice video and chill experience, glad you tried the Qatar airways a380. You could have gotten upper deck economy class it will be better cause more space and legroom.
I had the chance of it.. but the windows there are tilted up, so the video quality would have been much worse.
Just seen.Enjoyed.Did travel w/ Qatar airlines before.It looks good.Thanks.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done mate 👍 Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! :)
Waiting for next video i enjoy lote
Thanks :))
Indeed you're the best video capturing
Glad that you enjoy these videos! Thanks! :))
World best airlines...
Fantastic airport at Doha. One of the reasons I choose to fly QA (when I can afford it) 😊
It's a really good airport to connectn between long flights. :)
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks so much! :)
GREAT as always!😎 It is sad to read that QR will retire the A380 again😭 You know by when?
Within the next 1-2 years apparently =(
It is Always WONDERFUL to travel on Qatar Airways. I travelled twice Pakistan to Indonesia and back. They had been Fabulous.
I agree! I never had a single bad experience flying with them. :)
I would just love, just one time, to fly on an A380! But what service!! 👍👍
Beautiful flight!
Wish you luck on flying the A380! It's an amazing plane :)
Good video as usual man! Consider making a video about you traveling from CPH to BCN 😎
Thanks so much!! Glad you liked it :)
Muy buenas. Excelente avión. Una pena que no consiguiera mantenerla más tiempo en producción. Saludos.
Muchas gracias!! Una pena... Emirates insistió mucho en que estaban muy interesados en un A380Neo... pero parece ser que eran los únicos en todo el mundo, de ahí que el proyecto no saliese adelante...
Excellent video.
Thanks a lot!! Glad that you liked it :)
Excellent Quality full video bro ❤🎉 love from Bangladesh onboard hd 🥰😍❤️💯💕✔️-
Thanks so much!! Stay tuned for next Saturday! We'll be crossing the Atlantic on Delta ONE! :D
Oky bro 😍🥰💯💕
Gran video como siempre, que pasó entre Qatar Airways y Airbus con los a350?
Muchas gracias! Uff es largo de contar, échale un ojo en Google. Hay mucha info al respecto. Esta relacionado con desgaste excesivo de la pintura en el fuselaje de los A350 de Qatar.
Like the idea of boarding music. The boys there sound like they are having a great time. Not too bad.
Not too bad until you realise that more than the 60% of the audio of this video is edited to not listen to their noise. Until you realise that they were hitting my seat all the flight. If I wouldn't remove their shouts and noise from the video, you wouldn't watch it.
@@OnBoardHD I feel you
@@OnBoardHD Oh I hate when someone hits the back of the seat....
Beautiful Flight On a Big beauty But Can't Believe That Qatar Airways will be Retiring A380s but your vids never go out of Style
Thanks so much! :))
I like the early morning rush 😊
It's nice, but very exhausting :)
@@OnBoardHD I hope someday you could fly with our flag carrier Philippine Airlines ..
@@markjoseph196 I will visit Manila soon :) Sadly it won't be with that airline... maybe next time!
Pretty cool
Thanks :)
I'm taking this same plane tomorrow I cant wait
I hope you had an amazing flight!
@@OnBoardHD was so good it was my first time on a a380
Lucky to be able to fly on one in October this year from Sydney to London before they’re grounded in a couple years
Sounds like an intersting flight :))
@@OnBoardHDYes 1/4 flights is on the upper deck, have you got a review on that upcoming?
I have a question if you don’t mind the weight of the hand luggage is 7 kg. Is the hand luggage weighed there at the airport or not?
I can't remember, to be honest.
What time was this flight please and how many meals did you get thanks
You have that info on the video description. About the food, all that I got is on the video.
It was nice
Glad that you've enjoyed it! :))
Buen vídeo, me ha parecido entretenido y el avión no me extraña que sea amplio si es descomunal ,y también me ha sorprendido Doha de noche con su colorido y los montes nevados también. Hoy me he enterado que dos A-380 que en principio se iban a quedar en tierra los ha cogido al final una compañía que creo que es Global ni idea de donde es. Un cordial saludo y buen finde
Muchas gracias, Rafa :) Algo he leído sobre ese proyecto de aerolínea... qué quieres que te diga... suena a bluff de los grandes... Sin embargo hay gente reputada del mundo de la aviación que dice que van en serio... pero muchos otros dicen que no van a llegar a hacer ni 1 vuelo... veremos...
Amazing review mate, I would love to fly the QR 380 before they retire it. I seem to have missed this, why did they disembark your flight directly into the gate area? Don’t they shuffle all passengers into transfer security first?
It depends on the origin of the flight.
This was a great trip report, but those boys behind you were........a bit much!
Thanks a lot! Yeah.. they were shouting, hitting my seat... all the flight. Terrible.
Wow
10/10 QR
nice video
Thanks a lot! :)
Like the Boeing 747 before it, the Airbus A380 is simply the 8th wonder of the world. For airlines to even think about taking these behemoth machines out of service before their time is absolute insanity.
Well, the problem they have is that it's not so easy to fill them.
@@OnBoardHD Dropping the fares might help fill the aircraft.
8:32 - ¡Muy linda vista desde que fui allí el año pasado! 😍
Me alegra que te haya gustado el vídeo ✈️✈️
Qatar my favorite Airliner
A great one, definitely!
You have amazing content, but one request, drop the annoying music it really is not needed. Thank you for you amazing efforts though !!
Thanks for the feedback.
👍👍... saludos campeon..
Grande!! Bienvenido de nuevo!! Un placer verte por aquí de nuevo! :)
Why was a A380 used on such a short flight?. I flew from dublin to doha on a 737
It is not about the distance, it is about the capacity of the plane.
I'm surprised there was no dinner, for a long haul flight, it's very rare to not have 2 meals in flight.
Well, you have a warm snack they gave us before landing. It's at minute 15:38 on the video.
8hr without food ? btw there is food in airport. and you land runway 34L
Eh? did you watch the video?
I’m so glad I flew on the Qatar A380 it’s going to be a shame when they retire the a380 next year
Yeah... what I've read is that the last one will be retired by 2025 =/
En el siguiente de vuelo podrás hacer en korean air boeing 747-8b5 desde seoul korea a París desde Bolivia cochabamaba 🇧🇴aquí esperando un nuevo vuelo
Estamos trabajando en ello... A ver si pronto un vuelo de París a la Luna. :)
20:54, so do only some flights not require passengers disembarking to go through transfers/security? I guess passengers from US flights have to go to the transfers/security section right?
I don't know what are the countries that disembark directly to the boarding gates and which don't...
Great TR! Too bad they are going to retire it again:( Cheers!
Thanks so much! Glad that you've enjoyed it :))
NICE WORK MATE VERY NICE WORK WITH THE SHOW AND THE AIRCRAFT YOU FLY ON NICE WORK MATE VERY NICE WORK TRY QANTAS A A380
Qantas A380 could be a nice experience :)
puedes hacer un video de air Canadá de Londres heathrow a toronto
Por ahora no tengo eso en los planes. Air Canada ya estuvo recientemente en el canal: kzhead.info/sun/iKmqibaufoeooZ8/bejne.html
Awesome A380 trip review. Filmed using a gumball?
Puede hacer un vídeo volando en el plus ultra 340-300
Por ahora no lo tengo entre los planes... veremos, nunca se sabe.. :)
Very nice video. I especially like the comments during the flight with interesting details about cities mountains etc. What kind of video equipment do you use? Camera and video editing software? 😀
Thanks a lot! You have that info on the descrption of every video :))
How did you go to immigration ??
I flew LGW-DOH last week with Qatar on an A380 (Upper Deck) in economy, and I have to be honest and say that the seats were some of the most uncomfortable I've ever sat on. I'm a OneWorld Emerald frequent flyer, and compared to British Airways, Finnair and Iberia which I have flown on recently, their seats on short-haul are far more comfortable. Overall, the 'Qatar Experience' was somewhat underwhelming.
Qater airways always soopper
I always enjoy a lot flying with them!
How much is this trip?
Just go to the airline website and check it by yourself. It changes for every day depending on the demand... there's no point in telling the price I paid.
You can fligth to Colombia please🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
Hopefully very soon :)
Nice jurny
It was a very nice one indeed :D
