Jump to postYour baggage receipt has a number on the bar-code . You can track your bags on the airline website using your baggage number (I assume QR - https://haqiba.qatarairways.com.qa/Haqiba for missed/status of baggage)

They are a commodity. If you live in one of their hubs or you have some frequent flyer status with them you fly them. Otherwise if the they’re the cheapest you take them. Nothing particularly special going on . Exactly. I lived in the DFW area till last weekend and had no choice but get on AA. The ...
Jump to postNo. They are the airline I have flown the most...Not that anything was particularly bad or such but it just comes of as a sad operation overall. I was also on a long haul from HKG recently and that wasn't the best experience either. The cabin crew I have come across is not as friendly or cheerful as...
Jump to postDepends on how much I value the seat. If I’ve paid to reserve it (like the $112 I recently paid BA to reserve an exit row seat), I’ll definitely ask the other passenger to move. If I haven’t paid to reserve and it’s a crappy middle seat I won’t care. Pretty much this....also depends on how long the...

Southwest creates an onboard culture of jokiness and goofiness that I find annoying and sometimes unprofessional. But it's who they are. To expect customers not to play along is hypocritical. Many witnesses say that the FA was just in a bad mood because of the long delay, and went off the deep end....
Jump to post... People generally could start to think, do I need to fly as often. It won’t happen everywhere , but I can see signs of a shift in attitude towards the environment.

Jump to postJust flew them a week ago on the 747-8 from SFO-PEK. Decent service, food and overall experience. A333 from PEK-BOM was old and in poor condition. My IFE died at takeoff during a crew announcement and the 7 hr flight seemed way too long. Food wasn't great and they ran out of beer (that was maybe due...

A bit shocked that this has apparently happened before? Why are we still transporting so much cash in this day and age of digitization, (that too by commercial planes)
good to know...surprising that customer care phone service is not available on weekends though!
Jump to post... First flight: PNQ-BOM LOL. I have always wondered about catering and service for such a short 15 minute flight. Did they serve on the airplane or do they let you dine at the airport pre-boarding :lol: :) This was so far in the past that I don't remember a lot of that flight..but under 20min for...

Looks like the airspace closure has almost reached the one month mark since the conflict first broke out. It is increasingly clear that it may be a long time before things return to normal. The current routings are likely to become the de-facto ones for the foreseeable future. seems like they just ...
Jump to post..... For me, I love feeling good acceleration down the runway. But the 1st minute or so of actual flying during climb out, I feel a sense of vulnerability. Even though the views of banking around the airport at 2k ft are awesome. Still, at the low altitude and maybe 180kt I sometimes feel a little...
