Nangona iDelta yayiyeyokuqala yenqwelomoya ukubhengeza umxholo weklasi yeshishini elinazo zonke izinto ngo-Agasti ka-2016, iQatar Airways ityhile uhlobo lwayo lodidi lweshishini kunye nazo zonke iisuti ngo-Matshi 2017 kwaye yabetha iDelta ngokubabeka kwinkonzo ngo-Septemba waloo nyaka. .

Ukusukela ngoko, Iinqwelo-moya zaseQatar ifake iiQsuites zayo kwiijets zayo ezininzi ezinde, kubandakanya ii-Boeing 777-200LRs kunye nee-777-300ERs, ezinye zeAirbus A350-900s, nazo zonke Ii-A350-1000s . Kuba ezinye zezi ntlobo zeenqwelomoya zineenguqulelo ezindala zezihlalo zodidi lweQatar, soloko ujonga imephu yendawo yokuhlala yenqwelomoya ngaphambi kokubhukisha ukuze uqiniseke ukuba iya kuba neeQsuites.

Iimpaphe okwangoku zingafumana iiQsuites kwiindlela ezisuka kwindawo yeenqwelo moya eDoha ukuya kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo kubandakanya iBoston, iChicago O'Hare, iDallas, iHouston, iLos Angeles, iNew York JFK, iWashington, D.C. EFrankfurt , EHong Kong, eLondon, eParis, eShanghai naseSydney, phakathi kwezinye iidolophu.

Kutheni iiQsuites zingaqhelekanga kangaka? Okokuqala kukuba baneminyango yokuvala abakhweli abanokuyityhalela bucala ngasese ngexesha lokubhabha (kunye nokusetyenziswa okungaphazamisi ukukhanya kwesalathiso, kunjalo). Kubonakala ngathi yinto encinci, ukufumana eli nqaku abalawuli bezokhuseleko bexesha elidlulileyo yayingumqobo omkhulu, yiyo loo nto uyakubona kuphela kwiinqwelomoya ezimbalwa ezikhethiweyo kuqala okanye kwiklasi yeshishini.

Into eyenza iiQsuites ziguqule ngokwenyani, nangona kunjalo, kukuba iibhloko zezihlalo ezine kwicandelo leziko lekhabhathi zinokudityaniswa zibe ziinkqubo ezininzi. IiQsuites zibekwe ngendlela egxothiweyo 1-2-1 ipateni. Izikhuseli zamaziko zisondelelene ngokudibeneyo okanye ziqelelene ngokuxhomekeke kumqolo. IiSuites ezikufutshane kunye zinokudityaniswa zibe ziibhedi eziphindwe kabini (uhlobo lwe - isihlalo esisezantsi sezahlula) ukuze abo bahamba nabo babelane ngendawo enkulu kodwa eyabucala.

Ngaphezulu, amaqela amane ahamba kunye angathoba izahlulelo zabucala phakathi kweendawo ezizezinye ukwenza indawo eneendawo ezine apho abantu abasebenza nabo banokuqhuba iintlanganiso ezinamandla aphezulu, eziphakamileyo, okanye iintsapho zinokuhlala ngaphandle kokuphazamisa enye indlu . I-Qatar Airways ibenelungelo elilodwa lomenzi we-mélange, ngoko awuzukuyibona kwezinye iinqwelomoya okwangoku.

IiQsuites kumacala enqwelomoya, okwangoku, ziyimfihlo yabucala kubahambi bodwa. Zibekwe ngokufuphi kufutshane nefestile okanye ngakwindlela ephakathi kweengalo ezibanzi kwelinye icala. Zonke, nangona kunjalo, zineminyango yokuvala yokufihla ngokupheleleyo.

Sebenzisa iiMayile kwiiFly Qsuites ze (Phantse) Simahla

Ndifuna ukubhabha iiQsuites okoko i-airline yababeka kwinkonzo ngaphezulu kweminyaka emibini edlulileyo. Ngelishwa, amatikiti phakathi kweDoha kunye ne-US anokuxabisa ngaphezulu kwe-6,000 yeedola ngendlela nganye. Endaweni yoko, ndakwazi ukusebenzisa iimayile zenqwelo moya ukubhukisha inqwelomoya eQsuites njengenxalenye yetikiti lokuwonga ixesha elide ukusuka eMzantsi Afrika ukuya eLos Angeles. Nantsi indlela endenze ngayo.

I-Qatar Airways lilungu lomanyano lwenqwelomoya e-Oneworld kunye nezinye izithuthi ezibandakanya iAmerican Airlines, iBritish Airways, iCathay Pacific kunye neJapan Airlines. Oko kuthetha ukuba abahambi banokufumana kwaye bahlawulele iikhilomitha ngezo nkqubo zeenqwelo moya zihamba rhoqo kwiindiza zeQatar.

Kwiiflanti ezisekwe e-US, inkqubo yemayile ekugxilwe kuyo ziiAmerican Airlines AAdvantage. Ngokutsho kweMelika Itshathi yewonga lenqwelomoya , Iinqwelomoya kwiklasi yeshishini phakathi kwe-U.S. kunye neDoha, ekumda we-Middle East kwitshathi, zifuna iimayile ezingama-70,000 ukuya ngakunye (okanye i-140,000 yeekhilomitha ukujikeleza).

Njengoko besenditshilo, nangona kunjalo, bendisuka eMzantsi Afrika. Ukusuka apho, ibhaso lodidi lweshishini kwiindleko zase-US-zilinde-nje iikhilomitha ezingama-75,000. Ke iimayile ezingama-5 000 ezongezelelekileyo, ndingongeza enye inqwelomoya ngenqwelomoya ngenqwelomoya ukusuka eRhawutini ukuya eDoha kuhambo lwam, emva koko ndibhabhe iiQsuites zisuka eDoha zisiya eU.S.

Iindiza zaseMelika ' iwebhusayithi ivumela abasebenzisi ukukhangela amatikiti amabhaso kwiinqwelomoya ezininzi zamaqabane, kubandakanya neQatar Airways. Ukujonga amabhaso eenqwelomoya, ngenisa ngokulula imvelaphi yakho, indawo oya kuyo, kunye nemihla yokuhamba, kwaye uqiniseke ukuba ibhokisi yebhokisi yeemayile ikhethiwe. Iziphumo zoqoqosho zonyuka ngokuzenzekelayo, kodwa ucofe ibhokisi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka yeBhizinisi / amabhaso okuQala eMileSAAver kwaye kuya kufuneka ubone amabhaso eenqwelomoya ezikhoyo kwiklasi yeshishini.

Ngoku ngeendaba ezimbi. Okwangoku, akukho ndawo ininzi yamabhaso kwiinqwelo moya zeQatar eziya eU.S kunye neeQsuites ngaphakathi. Ukufumaneka okuxhaphakileyo kubonakala ngathi kukwiinqwelomoya phakathi kweDoha neChicago, iDallas, iHouston kunye neWashington Dulles, nangona ngamanye amaxesha kubonakala ezindleleni eziya eNew York JFK naseLos Angeles. Okukhona unokubhetyebhetye ngakumbi ngokwamaxesha, kokukhona amathuba akho ekubhukisheni ibhaso leQsuite.

Ukuba usebenzisa iAmerican AAdvantage miles, kunokuba sengqiqweni ukubhabha uye eChicago, eDallas, okanye eLos Angeles nangona kunjalo kuba ezo ziindawo zeAmerican Airlines kwaye ungabhukisha uhambo oludibanisa ukuhamba kweenqwelomoya zaseMelika ukuya kwindawo yakho yokugqibela njengenxalenye yebhaso elinye itikiti (okt ngaphandle kokuchitha iimayile ezininzi okanye imali).

Ndikwazile ukufumana itikiti lamabhaso ukusuka eRhawutini ukuya eDoha (nge-777-300ER ngaphandle kweQsuites-eqaqambisa isidingo sokujonga inqwelomoya yakho) kwaye uqhubeke uye eWashington, DC (kunye neQsuites) kwiQatar Airways, ngaphambi kokugqibela ngaphezulu eLos Angeles kwiAmerican Airlines. Ixabiso lebhaso lam lalingama-75,000 eekhilomitha kunye ne- $ 61.53 yeerhafu kunye neerhafu. Itikiti elihlawulelwayo elinokuthelekiswa lingaxabisa malunga ne-5, 100 yeedola. Ndigqibe kwelokuba ndiyibhukishe.

Uchulumanco lwam lokuba ndikwazi ukubhukisha isihlalo eQsuites njengebhaso laphazanyiswa lulindelo lokuchitha iiyure ezili-14 kubunewunewu obusuka eDoha besiya eD.

Amava

Ngeentsuku ezikhokelela kuhambo lwam, bendimane ndijonga kwimephu yesihlalo ngenqwelomoya. I-airline ithande ukuvimba amacandelo amaziko amane okuhamba amaqela ahamba kunye. Njengomhambi ohamba yedwa, ndanikwa indawo yokulala ecaleni kwendlwana ekufuphi negalari kunye neendawo zokuvasa. Nangona kunjalo, ndandifuna ukuba kude nengxolo kunye nomsebenzi, kwaye ndikhusele elinye lamacala asecaleni awayekufuphi nefestile kunokuba iphakathi.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuhamba, ndakwazi ukubamba i-1K, indawo ejonge ngasemva kufutshane nefestile. Ndabekwa.

Inqwelo moya yam ihambe ngo-8: 20 kusasa, ndiye ndafika esangweni kwangethuba, hayi kuphela ukuvumela ixesha elongezelelekileyo lokufumana ukhuseleko, kodwa nokuzama ukubangabokuqala ukukhwela ukuze ndikwazi ukuthatha imifanekiso ngaphandle kokuphazamisa abanye abakhweli . Ngelixa ndikwazileyo ukuyenza loo nto, inqwelomoya yagcwala ngokukhawuleza.

Njengokuba abanye abakhweli babekhwela, ngokukhawuleza ndanikwa amanzi, isiselo, okanye iChampagne. Abahambi beenqwelomoya beza ngokunikezela ngeemenyu, Iipijama zeNkampani yeWhite, kunye neekiti zoncedo ezigcinwe ngeemveliso zokhathalelo lolusu uCastello Monte Vibiano Vecchio, iikawusi, iipoyinti zendlebe kunye neemaski zamehlo.

Ndichithe lonke ixesha ngaphambi kokuba ndibuyele umva ndikhangela indawo yam, ndidlala ngolawulo lwezihlalo kunye nezibane, ndifumana i-headphone zokucima ingxolo kunye nebhotile ye-Evian kwenye yeebhabhi zokugcina, kwaye ndisebenzisa iindlela zokuzonwabisa zokubhabha.

Isihlalo ngasinye seQsuite sine-intshi ezingama-21.5 ububanzi kwaye sihlala kwisitya esingqengqileyo esingama-intshi ezingama-79. Banobuninzi beempawu zobuchwephetsha ezinje ngeenkqubo zokuzonwabisa ezingama-21.5-intshi kunye neescreen zesikrini. Kukho iiplagi kunye namazibuko okuhlawulisa abakhweli izixhobo zobuqu kunye namandla e-NFC angenakunxibelelana ukuze abakhweli basasaze uluhlu lokudlalwayo olukhethwe kwangaphambili kwi-app yeQatar Airways kwinkqubo yohambo lwendiza nge-smartphone yabo.

Kwimizuzu embalwa emva kohambo, abagadi beenqwelomoya beza bezokuthatha iiodolo zokutya kunye nokuvala iingcango zabakhweli. I-Qatar Airways ibonelela abakhweli abakumgangatho weshishini ngenkonzo yokutya-kwiimfuno apho banoku-odola kakhulu nantoni na kwimenyu nangaliphi na ixesha ngexesha lokubhabha.

IKatar QSuites Ityala: I-Qatar Airways

Ndizama ukucwangcisa ukutya kwam ukuze ndilungele ixesha lase-U.S., Kwaye besele ndilambile, ke ndayalela ukutya okupheleleyo ngelo xesha kwaye ndacwangcisa ukuba nokunye ngaphambi kokufika, ngexesha eliza kuba sasemini eWashington, D.C.

Phakathi kweewayini ezazikhwele yayinguLallier Grande Réserve kunye noAtaïr Étoile Rosé Champagne, uSpier Chardonnay ovela eMzantsi Afrika, uZuccardi Zeta Malbec waseArgentina kunye noChâteau Batailley Pauillac Grand Cru Classé waseBordeaux.

Ndithathe isigqibo sokungcamla ezimbalwa kwi-la carte kwaye ndaqala ngokukhetha i-mezze yesiko lesi-Arabhu, kubandakanya i-hummus kunye ne-tabouleh, elandelwa yinxalenye encinci yenkukhu tikka masala eneepapadams ezibhakiweyo kunye nerayisi yemifuno yemifuno.

Emva koko, ndiye ndatshintsha ndanxiba iipyjama zam ngelixa abalindi beenqwelo moya belungisa ibhedi yam, ndibeka umatrasi phezu kwesihlalo, ndisasaza idyvet, ndanxiba umqamelo wam ngesigqubuthelo esitsha.

Ndihleli ndisebenza ukusukela oko i-airline inika abakhweli iyure ye-Wi-Fi yasimahla (emva koko, ungahlawula i-10 yeedola kuyo yonke inqwelomoya, eyintengiselwano ngokuthelekiswa nemirhumo ye-Wi-Fi yenqwelomoya. Ndibukele inxenye yefilimu, ndalala ke iiyure ezininzi.

Nangona bekukho ingxolo kunye nomsebenzi epasejini, ucango kwigumbi lam lokuqinisekisa ukuba lihlala licolile kwaye lizolile ngaphakathi, kwaye ndaziva ndingaphazamiseki kwaphela. Ndiyarhana ukuba iingcango zikwakhuthaza abakhweli ukuba bahlale ezindlwini zabo kunokuba bazulazule ezipasejini, nto leyo inciphisa ukugcwala kwekhabhathi.

Malunga neeyure ezine ngaphambi kokufika, ndavuka ndayalela icappuccino. Endaweni yesidlo sakusasa, bendinokhetho lwezinto ezincinci zokuluma kubandakanya inkosi prawn crostini, imvana kofta ene-anyanisi yesumac, kunye nenkuku encinci shawarma ngegalikhi tahini. Zonke bezimnandi, kunye nepetroli yomsebenzi omncinci ngakumbi ngaphambi kokufika.

Ndafika e-DC ndiphumle kwaye ndiphumle, ndonelisekile ngamava. Abahambi ngeenqwelomoya abanyamekela ikhabhathi yam babehlala benembeko kwaye bekhawuleza ukuphendula kwiphepha lenkonzo. Izinto zokuzonwabisa zaziva zisezingeni eliphezulu kunye ne-chic, kwaye ukutya kwakumnandi ukuba ayingoyiki kakhulu. Ngokubanzi, ndingathi amava aphakathi kweyona nto ibalaseleyo endiye ndanayo kwiklasi yeshishini, kwaye kwavakala ngakumbi nangakumbi ukuba ndikwazi ukubhabha ndiphantse ndikhulule ngokubeka iimayile zam zaseMelika.
