We just landed in Doha, Qatar after a 12 hour non-stop flight from Washington Dulles on Qatar Airways. Qatar's Premium Business Class service is second to none in this very competitive Middle East market. Great fully reclining sleeper seats with large video screens to watch tv and movies but my favourite is the AVOD {Audio-Video-On-Demand} with the largest selection of music cd's I have ever seen including Top 100 Singles playlist. You can select cd's and click over to the moving map without interuption. This may not sound like much but many airline audio/ video systems get it completely wrong and you can only have one or the other...

The Qatar Premium Lounges are in a completely seperate terminal here with everything including duty-free shopping, business centre, dining options, private shower facilities amd choice of lounge seating areas. A great place to unwind between flights.

Next destination: the Maldives for a week of sun in the Indian Ocean!
