For our clients who value privacy across a long flight, our advisors recommend Qatar Airways and their award-winning Qsuite. The Qsuite Business Class cabin - with its full-height sliding door, lie-flat bed and configurable seating for pairs, families or groups - has become the airline's signature feature. Qatar Airways was named World's Best Airline nine times, Qatar Airways offers the smartest and most efficient routes to reach Europe and Africa from Australia.
Qatar Airways operates a young, versatile fleet of A350s and Boeing 777s across main Australian routes, with 300+ aircraft globally.
The Qsuite cabin is laid out in a 1-2-1 configuration, with alternating forward and rear-facing seats that allow travelling companions to face each other across a shared table - and a sliding privacy partition between every seat.
Multiple daily services connect Australia's gateways to Doha, with overnight departures designed to land in Europe by mid-morning local time. Flight times average around 14 hours from Sydney and Melbourne, 13 from Brisbane and Adelaide, and 11 from Perth.
In Business Class, meals are served on demand rather than on schedule - so whether you want dinner shortly after take-off or a quiet breakfast before landing, the timing is yours. Menus draw on Middle Eastern and international flavours, paired with wines chosen specifically for altitude by the onboard sommelier team.
For the smoothest possible journey through Doha, Qatar Airways offers Al Maha, a personalised meet and assist service at Hamad International Airport. A dedicated hostess greets you at the aircraft, handles transit or immigration formalities, and escorts you through to your onward connection or arrivals lounge.
