More choices for Qatar Airways passengers travelling from the UAE

Effective 1st June 2006, Qatar Airways Flight 103 from Dubai will depart at 07:00 hrs, arriving in Doha at 07:00 hrs local time. Passengers travelling from Abu Dhabi on Flight 121 will now be able to depart at 07:00 hrs, arriving in Doha at 06:50 hrs local time.

The change in schedules will offer greater connection opportunities to all passengers, travelling for both business and leisure, between the UAE and other Middle Eastern destinations as well as the attractive, newly-launched third daily flight to London Heathrow, arriving in the British Capital at 13:15 hrs local time.

Service on our flights to London Heathrow includes Fine Dining at 35,000ft, focusing on giving customers greater personal attention and treating them with even more style onboard. Gone is the trolley service in First and Business Class to be replaced by a la carte plates individually prepared and served by cabin crew to each passenger.

Glass plates, individual glass bread bowls, chinaware provided by German company Bauscher and cutlery French-designed by Guy Degrenne, all feature in the new service.

Passengers in First Class are served with individual tea sets and have the additional touch of a personal caviar service. First Class passengers have the added luxury of full-size bed pillows, soft white linen mattresses and Australian wool blankets.

Apart from the food service, the cabin interiors have been modified to provide a fresher look and feel with the highly visible burgundy corporate colours of the airline evident in the redesigned seat fabrics and curtains.

In addition, there are new new-look amenity kits for premium passengers. Business Class passengers are handed kits featuring Aigner products while those travelling in First Class receive luxury kits full of Bvlgari products.

Qatar Airways currently operates a modern fleet of 47 all-Airbus aircraft to 70 destinations from its hub in Doha, capital of the State of Qatar. Daily flights between Doha and Hong Kong were launched in March, marking the airline's historic 70th route.
