Al Safwa lounge with shower suites and jacuzzis, then eight First seats, Beluga caviar and an onboard bar. The seat itself is showing its age.

Doors that close, a Quad for groups and a 21.5-inch screen. Hard for side sleepers, and an aircraft swap can still put you on an older plane.

A modern 1-2-1 Dreamliner cabin that sleeps well and stays quiet, on a flight where the food and the service were both off Qatar's usual form.

The old 2-2-2 cabin, so window seats climb over a neighbour and the bed is hard. Dine Anytime service and the mango sticky rice rescue it.

Twelve lie-flat seats in a 2-2 narrow-body cabin. Tight at the feet and no aisle access at the window, but the catering is genuinely excellent.

The upper deck 1-2-1 seat is comfortable and the onboard bar is the reason to book it. Narrow footwell, and the supplied headphones are poor.
