The mile-high bar! I have had a few long distance trips with different airlines in the last few years, but this was a great surprise! Just to be clear nothing beats bad whiskey in a papercup on a plane with a bunch of religious people (thank you Turkish Airlines). For a long distance traveller few things beat the feeling of being able to just put on a movie with a drink. The fact that every serving had the option of a free choice of drinks makes up for the somewhat bad legroom (and the ****** in front that just threw his seat back). Missing a different choice of beer in addition to the classic Heineken but it’s a safe choice. Whiskey Sour was neither whiskey nor sour so that’s a lessoned learned. The full service of Qatar Airways from being greeted at check in to leaving the plane at my destination was a pure joy. Everyone was just trying to be the best and as a passenger you could feel it. There were smiles all the way from Oslo to Perth! The only thing to keep in mind: it is possible to fuck up even a GT… After this trip I’m happy that they are flying me home in a few months.
