Luxury or Letdown? Qatar Airways FIRST CLASS & Al Safwa Lounge in 2024

Today I'm flying with Qatar Airways in First Class on their A380 to Bangkok.

The journey starts in Doha at Hamad International Airport (DOH). After making my way through the private First Class check-in facilities, I made my way to the Al Safwa First Class lounge. This is a very impressive and grandiose lounge. I made use of the a la carte fine dining restaurant and the spa with jacuzzi. After exploring a bit more I used one of the sleeping rooms to nap until my flight was ready for boarding.

I boarded my flight to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) where the crew guided me to my seat 2K. I enjoyed some Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades) Champagne as part of the pre-departure service before take off. Once in the skies, the first meal service started which included caviar and more champagne. After dining, I visited the onboard bar which I consider to be the best in the sky. I got changed in the huge toilets before sleeping for a few hours. There was a breakfast service before landing.

Check out the full video to hear my thoughts on the Al Safwa First Class lounge and the onboard seat, service and amenities.

Let me know in the comments what you think of the Qatar Airways First Class experience!
