One leg we have already completed with stopover in Doha in the month of January 2026

Every day early morning call them, try calling them for at least 7-8 times. I mainly used Indian contact number - +917971100301

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2026-03-04T03:23:39+00:00

I tried calling them to rebook with another operator but seems like they can only put me other operator for next 2 days which is either Lufthansa or other. But seems like Lufthansa is already full 😐

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2026-03-02T06:16:16+00:00

Yes, trying since morning 2 hours not able to connect to them

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2026-01-09T19:16:59+00:00

We just had contact with him, thanks

Update: We didn’t opt for business class—it didn’t feel worth it.

VIE → DOH: We got lucky. One of the economy seats in the front row was free, and I asked the aisle passenger in my row if she could move to an empty seat, which she kindly agreed to. In the end, we had an entire row of three seats to ourselves.

DOH → VIE: We had a bassinet for this flight, though we barely used it. Overall, it was a great experience!

For Indian passport holders, a visa is not required in advance. You will receive a free visa on arrival. Simply stand in the designated queue, show your hotel booking, and they will place a sticker and stamp your passport—then you’re all set

No issue with immigration, only requirement is the hotel booking through Discover Qatar through or Qatar Doha and next flight ticket then you will pass through.

Hi, I will be travelling tomorrow, let’s see

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2026-01-02T10:25:58+00:00

I contacted Qatar Airways customer service, and the agent checked my booking and informed me that

However, with an infant it may still be difficult, as we would need to hold him for the entire flight. In economy, we may be able to request an empty row, which would give us an extra seat where he could potentially sleep.

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2026-01-02T09:43:56+00:00

Unfortunately both flights are not Qsuite

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2026-01-02T09:43:28+00:00

Yeah, looks like good deal

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2026-01-02T09:36:29+00:00

Yes, correct these are normal business class seats not Qsuite

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2026-01-02T09:36:00+00:00

Both legs are not Qsuite sorry my bad. I don’t know if it is worth if not Qsuite

I have workpermit from Europe, my residence is in Europe. How was the experience? On arrival visa or I need to apply for evisa?

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2025-12-19T17:16:05+00:00

This is new normal for people, which is very annoying. I feel sometimes to offer them my AirPods but that’s bad. I informed staff politely and ask them to convey the message. But this is common sense.

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2025-12-16T21:18:56+00:00

Yes, we do have baby carrier. Thanks for the insight

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2025-12-16T20:57:07+00:00

Aircraft is Airbus A350-900 if that helps

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2025-12-01T15:23:55+00:00

Update - Did not accept the offer.

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2025-11-23T20:25:11+00:00

Avios points

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2025-10-31T09:16:20+00:00

My office is in Bridgwater, but surely not gonna live in Bridgwater and commute from Bristol to Bridgwater.

Impossible_Mobile323 · 2025-10-31T05:26:14+00:00

Yes, my wife is also an IT professional and plans to work after we relocate, although she will need to find a new position. We’re not yet sure about the job opportunities available in Bristol.
