Yes I have about 2 years ago lhr-doh-nrt. Then bkk-doh-lhr. We flew business class and had a mixture of planes/ quality.
If the price is favourable I would say they are absolutely fine.

We have business class tickets on hold. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Be aware some of the legs can be classed as short haul ( I don't know your route) so the amenities/seats on board etc can vary... But as I said if the price is good I would go with them. We landed in Doha at about midnight and the lounge was a mob scene... not one free seat! It was a very short layover so it didn't really matter!

We've only got a 90 minute changeover at Doha when we fly to HCMC on 1 September, 2345-0115.

Rkkwan No I think it was just before the switch so that could have accounted for the lack of space...that said I have heard it's still busy!

Miami to Doha is the long haul. I can live with a shorter 3-4 hr flight to Mumbai being on seats that are not as good. Very short layovers on both ends so we likely won't be able to take advantage of the lounge. Confirming flights later today. Now we must get serious about itinerary.

We have just booked them from NY to India in business class. I checked with a friend of mine (who just got back from living in Mumbai for 2 years). He has flown them multiple times and had good things to say.

Donna - when will you be in India? What's your itinerary? Any helpful hints on Mumbai from your friend who lived there?

Dgunbug, We will be in India in February. We are just in the planning stages so no firm plans yet for itinerary. Will definitely be getting the inside scoop on Mumbai before we leave.

We flew with them to Malaysia back in June and couldn't fault them, i'm flying again with them to Tokyo in October so fingers crossed the experience will be just as good (I originally first flew with them in 2008 and couldn't fault them then either!)
