ADDED VALUE FOR QATAR AIRWAYS’ PREMIUM PASSENGERS AS AIRLINE NOW ALLOWS ADVANCE MEAL ORDERS
(Posted 24th August 2017)
First Class and Business Class passengers flying with Qatar Airways out of their East African destinations Entebbe, Kigali, Nairobi, Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar have just been handed another privilege by the word’s first ever five star airline.
They can now order their choice of main course when they connect in Doha through Hamad International Airport for all onward flights to Europe, North and South America, to Australia and New Zealand but also to Bangkok and Guangzhou.
While the ‘regular‘ dining service – though there is nothing regular about it of course in comparison with most other airlines – remains available can premium passengers select their choice of main course as long as two weeks in advance.
This is in addition to the existing Dining-on-Demand service already available for First and Business Class passengers.
To pre-select a premium class meal, customers log into ‘My Trips’ on the Qatar Airways website and choose from the seasonal menu available on their flight. Meals can also be ordered through the Qatar Airways mobile app.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Mr. Akbar Al Baker said when the announcement was made: ‘We are constantly looking for innovative ways to refine and enhance our products and services. Giving our premium passengers the opportunity to pre-select their meals before they fly is another example of our unrivalled on-board experience. Our new Pre-Select Dining service follows the introduction of our groundbreaking Business Class seat, Qsuite, earlier this year, which reinforces why Qatar AIrways was recognised as the World’s Best Business Class at this year’s 2017 Skytrax awards. We were also delighted to be named Airline of the Year for the fourth time, encouraging us to continue innovating to offer our unparalleled five-star service‘.
The new Pre-Select Dining menu option will take Qatar Airways’ already renowned level of personalised service to new heights and complement the airline’s recently launched new Business Class experience. Premium passengers will now be able to board their flight in the comfort and knowledge that their pre-selected dish is reserved and waiting for them whenever they are ready to dine, giving them more time to relax and enjoy the airline’s superior on-board entertainment and amenities.
Launching on flights departing from Doha, Qatar Airways plans to extend premium Pre-Select Dining to other regions of the world later this year. Multiple award-winning Qatar Airways was this year once again name as the Airline of the Year by the prestigious 2017 Skytrax World Airline Awards, the fourth time it has won this global accolade. Qatar’s national carrier also clinched Best Airline in the Middle East, World’s Best Business Class and World’s Best First Class Airline Lounge.
