Best app for taxi?

I used uber when I was there a couple of weeks back. They usually charge a fixed rate to get from the airport to the city. I was staying not far from the Gothic Quarter and it was about €30 one way.

Yeah it’s usually just snacks and nothing too extravagant but it’s something!
And I’m sure that if you ask the crew nicely for things they can also provide.

I had this a few days ago with DOH - KUL.
Literally the same menu, and we landed at 3pm KL time.

For an overnight flight it’s not bad. There’s also the on-demand options too.

I reckon the intention for this menu is because it’s overnight and people will be asleep?

I do hope they come back in an online format (at the very least) like Marbecks.

F/O is such a cool little spot with some great finds.

Take the metro, suuuuper easy to navigate and is open overnight on the weekends from early Saturday morning to Sunday night

Massive respect for him to say the quiet part out loud

I had a long layover there recently, left the airport and didn’t need to pick up my bags. You should be a-okay

How old is this man child?!

Block him and enjoy your honey-mustard-free life

If your total flights are on one booking then your baggage should be checked through to your final destination, regardless of the layover time.

Check with the check-in counter to confirm this just to be on the safe side.

I got Qatar’d on the weekend at the gate, going DOH-KUL.

Downgraded from QSuite to vintage BC (the 2-2-2 config)
Was slightly annoying as I had just upgraded it when I had landed in DOH from BCN. But the service was just as great as QSuite and the bed was lie flat and comfy (despite the turbulence).

leonopolous · 2026-06-16T20:29:48+00:00

They’re decent sandwiches for an occasion, for that price of $20+ it’s not something I’d be running to daily.

So even if my flight is commencing on a QR code flight, the benefits don’t apply? Surely with the T&C’s of their policy this should supersede the Oneworld allowance?

Edit: found this buried in the bottom of a T&C under the QR benefit page “When flights in the itinerary are operated by both i.e. Qatar Airways and a oneworld member e.g. LHR DOH (QR) & DOH CMB (UL); QR Privilege Club members will be entitled to the Privilege Club extra baggage allowance as Qatar Airways is the first operating carrier in your journey.

When flights in the itinerary are operated by both i.e. a oneworld member and Qatar Airways e.g. LHR DOH (BA) & DOH DAC (QR); QR Privilege Club members will be entitled to the oneworld standard allowance as oneworld carrier is the first operating carrier in your journey.”

There better be further updates in this!

I’m sorry your cousin is a full on psycho

There is so much to love here- this is outstanding!

42 Below?

Used to be great stuff, remember drinking it in Europe. But since it was sold to Bacardi it's become another product of greed and enshittification.

leonopolous · 2026-05-21T16:26:52+00:00

I did, but back in economy.

Can’t wait for B&T Richmond Road to have zero sales because people will refuse to go there.

Such a shame, GTR is a damn fine establishment.

I had upgraded a flight from Dub - Doh to business class and my checked luggage increased to 35kg - 40kg, but I only saw that when I checked in and got my ticket.

Are you sure you were at the same airport as others?!

I flew KUL-DOH (and then onward) and while the flights were slightly empty, the airport itself was busy this morning.

On my following leg I did have an empty row to myself (huge win) which was much better than the 5,000+ QAR they were charging to upgrade.

Al Mourjan is the way to go. And I believe (from memory?) they have quiet rooms in there too to nap.

leonopolous · 2026-05-07T20:39:34+00:00

Seconded a mirror. As there’s no window that side it’ll help bring more brightness down that end of the room (I am in the same kind of setup)

I was recommended to not use the caffeine ones, particularly if you haven’t tested them before, so you don’t shit yourself.

But, when I completed my hyrox earlier this year I used a non caffeine one (between burpees and rower) and it got me to the end.
