  It’s worth remembering that the QR Premium Lounge isn’t actually a business class lounge – it’s a hybrid lounge for some business class tickets and first class tickets. It’s not accessible for basic business class tickets or for status passengers who’s ticket type doesn’t facilitate access.

    It was a great lounge and food was good but the staff were so annoying when the lounge was quiet. They watched your every move and always seemed to be looking over your shoulder. I know they were just being attentive but it was way too much.

      This is also why I will never consider a hotel 5-star either if staff do this. It annoys the h*** out of me. Like silly hotels that go into your room unasked and do daft stuff like putting rose petals on the bedcovering or chocolates on the pillow. If I’m aware a hotel may be doing this, I put a stop to it.

      True good service is never seen until you knew you wanted it but then it appears.

        They can keep the roses but I’ll be happy to receive chocolates or a fruit platter anytime they want 🙂

    Did ‘basic business’ exist when covid hit? Status pax do get sent upstairs to Plaza Premium.

  “Note the British Airways aircraft parked up at Terminal 4 for some reason!”

  At the height of the pandemic BA parked several of their planes at T4.

    Aircraft parked here at T4 most days, especially BA – not sure why the surprise

    What about T1 ?

  I believe Iberia Express will be from Gatwick, Heathrow being “mainline”

    Thanks for pointing out, you are indeed correct. I was just checking if I need to cancel my RFS with 241 for this, but Gatwick is a lot more hassle for me, so won’t bother.

  Iberia website not applying the discount even though they show it at the first step. Is anyone surprised?

    I got the same, no surprise, I live in Spain and I’m getting used to this sort of thing. There are six mileage + fees options available, just not the one offered at 4,900. Anyway, it looks as if fees will be £30 for a flight that you can currently buy for £39, so not very good value for your 4,900 avios anyway!

      Yes, I’ve never seen good value in Avios flights to Spain whenever I’ve looked. Cash fares are usually disproportionally cheap for the distance compared to most other places in Europe.

  I was actually really disappointed with Qatar to HKT last week, they changed the 777 and A350 with Q-Suite to A380 and A330. The A380 was okay but nothing compared to business class with Emirates or Etihad in their A380. The A330 business class was horrible, especially for an 8-hour flight, with 6 seats per row it was very cramped. Service was slow, took over 2 hours to finish meal service on the A330. Food quality on Emirates and Ethiad were also much better. I should have cancelled when they changed it to an A330.

  Will be interesting to see if the Qatar lounge is revamped or expanded. The Martini Bar was a good central focal point and you cannot see if from the pictures posted above…

  Liked the Qatar lounge when we flew with Malaysia Airlines in business. FAR superior then their lounge at LHR!

    The Malaysia lounge in T4 has now closed for good.
