I am flying to Abu Dhabi on Qatar Airways. Yesterday I made on-line check in. And in the hotel reception they printed my boarding passes with QR code. I don’t need a visa to Emirates or Qatar State. I have been in Kathmandu airport before sunrise.
I wanted to go with my boarding pass to the security but handsome QR officer in burgundy jacket said: this boarding pass is not valid. You must stay in the line to checkin desk to receive valid boarding pass. Are they crazy? So why they installed “check on line” facility on their website? To charge more money for the selection of better seat? Shame on you Qatar! You would like to be leading airline?
I experienced one more stress: screening my luggage they found there 2-cm metal cross. They stopped my pack and took me back from the boarding gate through immigration and security to show them the ordinary metal cross. Scandal!
I was surprise that they operate to Kathmandu wide-body Dreamliner. They made a good profit because it was full, but the level of service was not imposing. Breakfast was poor… I will think three times before I will decide to fly with Qatar Airways again!
