Round The World and other travels

Flight Log 7 : QR154

Doha (DOH) - Bahrain Manama (BAH)

The first class cabin on the A320 consisted of three rows of large seats in 2+2 formation - reminiscent of Domestic First in the USA, only modern   For my second short sector on Qatar Airways, I was once again offered a welcome drink. This time, however, Champagne was included in the selection. I'll leave you to guess what I had   Again as previously, this was followed by dates and Arabic coffee and by the choice of hot or cold towels. Boarding was complete at 1250 and we pushed back at 1255. I noticed that people were still using mobiles and iPods at the runway holding point, although I think the mobiles were switched off when the 'bings' sounded. As for the others, clearly they thought that whatever they were listening to was more important to them than any possible evacuation instructions   We took off just before a quarter past one.

The small meal consisted of a chicken croissant sandwich and salad, accompanied by water, although I noticed that some passengers requested alternative soft drinks. My seatmate was a tad annoying : Western dress, including surgically attached baseball cap, and a fully paid-up member of the Angry Young Men / Caged Animals / Explosive Bundles of Energy club. Every couple of minutes he was stamping his heel on the floor a few times, then punching his armrest, then doing the heel thing again. For heaven's sake, why can't some people just sit back and relax?
