I would never fly qatar again . followings are the reason. 1: they sell all seats trying to make more money even the seat is not confortable. 2 laser thin seats no cusion on economy seats for 13 hrs long journey. 3 seat sizes are small to fit american body and not enough room to scratch legs. Specially middle seats 4 doha airport sucks. Mile long walk to change plane trying to force customers to pass by their duty free stores. 5 not enought passenger waiting seats by gate c 81 c82..... 6 no gate for planes going to ahmedabad and other other indian cities. Buses with only 6 seats tranfering paasenger to plane parked on tarmac. 7 once get off the bus passengers are stepping up all steps to reach planes entrance door. Problem for passengers have a knee problem n slighly poor health condition. 8 cost of priority seat reservation too high compared to air india. 9 they advertise their religion on entertainment platform. 10 map navigation software shows on Arabic language about 3/4 of time and 1/ 4 of selected language after languages selection of software. Once languages sected display shoud show on selected lunguage not the arabic lunguage 75 % of time. 11. Some seats are blocked for selection all the time and never open for customer option. Eg. 44a 44b And all a b c seats from raw 45 to 48. I can go on and on.... I am going back to chicago i am still worried my seats from ahmdavad to chicago. I am worried i dont fit comfortabley on laser thin tight seating arrangments. God bless me.
