6.0 Okay
They are always late and seats was also not having working charger

10.0 Wonderful
Great crew staff, foods were excellent.
F
10.0 Wonderful
No doubt flying with Qatar is always great. However, been flying Qatar quite often but this was the first time flying within the Middle East routes and was surprised that the crew staff wasn’t the friendliest.
S
4.0 Mediocre
Baggage allowances are terrible and the experience of only being allowed one bag and paying so much to take sporting equipment to a known ski area should be addressed.
A
8.0 Very good
We flew in first class. The crew did not offer drinks before the flight took off, but they treated us well during the flight. The food was excellent. There was actually too much food served, but it was nice to have all the options.
A
6.0 Okay
The flight was delayed by two hours.

Good experience on the flight and with crew.
H
4.0 Mediocre
did not have enough meal for first class passengers so offer us snack
H
2.0 Poor
Arrived 40 min early which was great - sat in runway for 35 min so no gain. Then waited for luggage 45 min. They need to staff accordingly knowing its one of the busiest week in Phx
M
8.0 Very good
Broke my luggage and I can't get a resolution yet.
