No Gabe no, no, no! You missed it! I have been in many of the greatest airports in the world, including Singapore and previously I would have rated that one the best, but this is by far better than Singapore. If you are able, you need to get there early enough so that you see the other half of the airport, the part before you go to Departure, it is full of breathtakingly amazing gardens, sculptures, beautiful shops, a futuristic tram. The amenities are amazing, for instance you can go to the spa, the most amazing shower I have ever had, massages, etc. Everything is above first class! It is incredible!

Hamad International is impressive, but Changi still feels unbeatable with its unique features like the butterfly garden and massive indoor waterfall. Both airports set the bar high! ✈️🌍

We passed through that Doha airport back in July in route from Amman to Kolkata on Qatar. I wandered around, just like you did trying to stretch my legs, and just like you, did not find anything that made me say wow. I am surprised to hear that it was voted number one in the world.

I'm really looking forward to you being back in India. I love India and can't wait to see what you discover this time.

Doha’s airport really is something else! From the art installations to the luxury shops, it’s like a mini city! Can’t wait to pass through again!

There is a new section of the airport you missed, which is pretty amazing. But I enjoy your videos! Safe travels!

[carolynboston]

I agree - I feel like Changi is way more beautiful. And wow, you're lucky to see The Palm Jumeira! :)

I hope you will show us your airport tours way more often Gabe. It’s part of the travel and for me my vacation start as soon as I set foot in an airport!

Wow, this airport is absolutely stunning! 😍 The architecture, the art installations, and the overall design are just breathtaking. Definitely the best airport I've ever seen in a video. Qatar just moved up on my travel bucket list! ✈🌍 Thanks for sharing this amazing tour!

Wow, this airport is absolutely breathtaking! 😍 The architecture, the art installations, and all the amenities make it truly stand out. Definitely adding Doha's airport to my must-visit list! ✈ Thanks for sharing this amazing tour!

Hamad International is stunning! The design, comfort, and service make it one of the best airports in the world.

Yay, India! Wishes granted! 😊
We were lucky to get a great deal on Qatar Airways First Class in Fall 2022 when travel was just coming back after the pandemic. Their First Class lounge in Doha (our connection) is amazing so we were there most of the layover. I agree with you that there are too many high end stores though. I kept looking for a convenience store and never found one. Other than the lounge, I didn’t see anything special about this airport.

Missed the swimming pool overlooking the terminal from above.

I'd teleport myself if I could to any airport for today, the 5th, and maybe for the rest of the year, what the heck..

Welcome back to Asia Gabe. Looking forward to the India vlogs and hopefully Thailand and the rest of SE Asia as well. These countries are your strong suit and why I subscribed many years ago.

Another you tuber called solo solo travel flew out of Qatar Doha to Paris but he was flying on this round the world ticket on first class, it was pretty amazing they served him meals, had a bar, lounge and shower area. What you showed me reminds me of charlotte, nc airport in a way. It has lots of shops but charlotte has a nice food court.

Just as you talk about the importance of getting to the airport early, your flight starts boarding earlier than you expected haha

So beautiful and clean, but next time we need to see the side before security 😊
