FLYING TO NEPAL on QATAR AIRLINES

Well, we are into day 2 of travelling.  We left Cornwall just before noon on Wednesday, stopped at Applebees in Watertown for a late lunch, about 2pm and arrived in Syracuse about 4:00 pm.  All flights went smoothly and on time.  Our flight at 7:30 pm left on time from Syracuse and we landed in Washington DC at 8:30 pm.  The grand flying experience only really took effect on Qatar Airlines.  WOW, classy, professional, comfortable and beautiful.  Lots of foot room; however, when the seats recline ahead of you, you'll want to recline as well, in that respect all airlines resembled.  The flight left at 11:30 pm and then began our 12-hour journey to Doha, Qatar ... that tiny little peaceful country in the Middle East.  We had two full course meals, supper and then breakfast, with a sandwich in between with complimentary wine, beer and other drinks.  Each seat had its own TV that moved to allow you better visibility.  It also had a video game component ... so naturally, I wanted to try golf, pool and some sort of new age packman.  I did manage to fall asleep between movies, tv shows and games.  I would definitely fly Qatar Airways again!

The lap top we brought is too old and unfortunately, way too slowwwww, so I was not able to upload some photos.  Presently, we are in a beautiful lounge at the Doha airport for the night... our next connecting flight is at 8am tomorrow (Friday) to take us to Kathmandu.  I am using their computer and free Wifi.  In this case, you pay $40 for six hours of lounging, free food, drinks, wifi use and sleeping, oh yes, and showers ... most likely our last before we return home - we are roughing you know!!  :-)

Okay, I'm going to sign out now as I want to try some more of the food here and take a shower.  We are safe, comfortable, all together and in good health.  Hopefully, I can find another Wifi service in Kathmandu and update you there.  Bye for now.

 

Here's a sample of a meal on our Qatar flight.  Notice our sleeping arrangements for the layover in Doha and the last pic is outside the lounge we stayed at in previous picture, in Doha.
