Qatar Airways new A380 First Class – Photo: Qatar Airways
This week, Qatar Aiways unveiled what their new First Class product on the Airbus A380 will look like and it is impressive.
There are some immediate things that jump out and excite me beyond the hard statistics. The colors and branding fit right in with the overall Qatar Airways color palette. Many airlines, to their detriment, completely lose all branding in their premium cabin and begin to focus on creating an atmosphere that attempts to soothe the passenger away.

There are some airlines that even make their premium cabins look like hospitals covered in billboards… but I won’t mention names. It looks as if Qatar Airways has decided to create an elegant, welcoming living room-like atmosphere without losing their identity as an airline inside. As an aircraft interiors geek, I find this exciting.

Featuring a shocking ninety-inch seat pitch, yes ninety inches, and a twenty-six inch HD monitor, this seat is ready to wow.
Qatar Airways will inaugurate the A380 on services between the brand-new Hamad International airport in Doha and London Heathrow later this year.
Being 6’8″, the traditional lay-flat beds are too short and uncomfortable for me, to the point of angle-flats actually being better in many cases – the 90″ bed would be awesome. Too bad I don’t see myself shelling out for first class anytime soon.
All I can say is that Qatar Airways’ A380 will undoubtedly be the talk of aviation enthusiasts when the first aircraft enters service this year. Good luck to Qatar Airways!
