The rules:
- Flights need to be on aircraft that dominate the fleet of each airline and are used on long-haul routes.
- At least two flights on each of the ME3.
- Spend at least two hours at each airlines’ hub airport.
- No lounge access or premium benefits allowed so I can accurately test the experience of “your average traveler.”
The route:

Zurich to Dubai – Emirates A380
Dubai to Delhi – Emirates 777-300ER
Mumbai to Doha – Qatar 777-300ER
Doha to Beirut – Qatar 777-300ER (changed from A330 last minute)
Beirut to Abu Dhabi – Etihad 787-9
Abu Dhabi to Muscat – Etihad A320

Booked Qatar from Marrakech to Auckland returning to amsterdam both with a layover in Doha.
On booking i was shocked to recieve a phonecall from the Moroccan Qatar Airway office to thank me for booking with them and to state that I will have a complementry room & food vouchers at Hamad International and the choice of a bus tour of Doha on my 23 hour layover in Doha!!
All that for economy class!! Amazing!

Qatar airways is my favourite airline I’ve ever flown with. The staff were extremely kind, the seats are comfy (I always fly economy), the meals are good and the entertainment system is great.

Qatar airways for me. Just travelled with them last month. Best experience ever out of all the airlines I have travelled with. For me the highlight of the trip was the complimentary 1 hour Wi-Fi on each leg of my journey

[maryaj]

I’ve flown Qatar and Emirates and I can also say Qatar airways is better, though I love Emirates too but Doha airport is a beauty to behold!

[nyantsuki]

Used to fly Qatar some time ago to South Korea with transferring at Doha and loved it ! Since so many seats were not occupied the stuff offered us to change our seats! And the Doha airport was super new and convenient ! This time We are flying Emirates to Japan with Transfer at Dubai and i am looking forward to experiencing it ...thanks for the information

I would actually really love it if you could do more of these comparative type of videos. Would love to see a comparison between JAL and ANA as well as between Eva & Cathay pacific and also between Korean and Asiana. Singapore and Malaysian would be interesting as well because they have a common origin.

Thanks for posting, Dan. Information was very helpful! Congrats on 14000+ likes!!

Surprised, found Etihad service to be far superior to Emirates in my own experience. Was on an Etihad A330 and A320 so perhaps it's different based on route/aircraft. Also found Etihad reward system to be quite good!

[loussadix]

Qatar airways is the best ... Good experience from marrakech morocco to doha and from doha to malaysia : good food, services, everything 😍😍😍

[eddel]

I agree, Qatar is the best airline for me because of their service. 😀

[keeshbetrippin]

I just flew Qatar and I loved it....the crew was awesome. They work almost bootcamp style and in sync

[pjetenere]

I have never been o/seas from Australia, , (I'm 64 and travel alone) I was really worried about booking, however, the flights I wanted happen to be Qatar and a 5hr stopover in Doha. Your video has put me completely at rest, thank you and keep up the good work

[charliefindlay]

I flied in economy on Emirates 380 Aircraft and guess what.. I LITERALLY HAD FOUR SEATS TO MYSELF! It felt amazing four seats to myself!

[zyadMorie]

Hamad international airport is just next level. If you want to try the best flights try business or first class at Qatarairways. Other airlines should take notes

[nenda]

I do not know about other airlines but the fact that Qatar airways provides food vouchers during transits and a 5 star hotel room accommodation if your transit exceeds 8 hours, for me that is the ticket buying point. And as said in the video above Hamad International airport is one of the kind and their flight attendants are extremely polite and helpful.

[Ivanov]

I'm looking at booking either Emirates or Qatar for a flight from Paris to Kochi and then back from Hyderabad to Paris for visiting friends of mine in India.
I found this review very interesting to watch.
Although I feel that the deference's between the two are airlines are rather small, I tend to go for Qatar mainly because of this vlog.
The fact that Doha Hamad international airport is, apparently, such a nice place to do your layover also helps in the equation.
Anyways, Dan thank you for this, and the many other, interesting vlogs you make!

[charliemich]

Great job on this Dan. Enjoyed watching and readily agreed with everything you reviewed. I know airline prices seem cyclical to some destinations QA is a bit higher priced but worth it. I do love Doha and the airport. QA & EA business class are really similar but fantastic. Great advice also on the FF programs

[tbarsotti]

Cathay Pacific and Singapore comparisons would be great too. Thank you! Good stuff and very helpful!

[jhonacatibog]

I so love qatar airways, especially when the pandemic begun, they were able to level up their technology for a safe flight, kudos 👊🏻
