Transfer
Passengers were discharged from the plane, and cleared one of the main trsinsfrr and security areas
Lounge
A 6 hour layover was put in at the Al Mourange lounge. This was used as a comfort and rest stop as I was unwell at this point.
Boarding
Boarding was from the Lower C gates, requiring a bus transfer.
The aircraft
It’s a Qatar Airways Boeing 787-8
The Seat
This aircraft uses the the Collins Aerospace SuperDiamond seat. I was allocated seat 5A, but swapped for seat 1F to accommodate a family.
5A
In flight entertainment
A variant of the Thales Avant IFE system is installed. Interestingly, whilst the screen was a touch screen, it was a lot less responsive than the ones installed on the A350 aircraft.

Sita OnAir L band Connectivity was installed on this plane, with different Wi-fi options compared to other Services.
Food and Drink
Dine on Demand was offered on-board, with a breakfast and snack service offered.
