Qatar QSuites is the best business class in the world, no?

• mightytravels 3y ago
  Of course and is the world's best airline for some time.

  Yes, but this guy was reporting about economy on an old aircraft plying a non-premium route to Sri Lanka, which like all subcontinental routes on all Gulf carriers tends to get the least love. Most pax are menial workers on the cheapest possible ticket, who fly airplanes approx twice in their life, so why bother?

    Easily one of the most disgusting comments I've seen on this site. Having flown into and out of the subcontinent via the Middle East dozens of times, most pax are usually not migrant workers - they're Western-emigrated Indians or their families transiting through a hub in the ME. These are not lesser passengers compared to those who ply between Europe and the Middle East only (in fact, often more well-to-do). In any case, if you're flying with Qatar, you're flying with Qatar. It's entirely fair to judge an airline based on any route that they operate under their own name. It's only the Middle Eastern airlines who treat subcontinent flights as "second class" routes btw, with lesser aircraft, new or low-performing crew, substandard food - and this is entirely because the airline employees that plan these routes are racist. I daresay even on ME-Europe routes South Asian passengers are treated differently by these airlines.

      I'm not saying I approve of this state of affairs, I'm simply explaining how Gulf airlines view these routes, so reserve your disgust for them. And of course this attitude permeates how Gulf countries view people from the subcontinent in general.
