Qatar Airways A380 Crew Confidential - What you DON'T see as a Passenger

I follow 27 Qatar Airways crew onboard the world’s largest airliner; Airbus A380 to see how they operate a full flight from Doha to Bangkok. There are many things you don’t see as a passenger!

My journey started at Doha Hamad International Airport (HIA). I boarded early ahead of other passengers to join the crew briefing and the crew showed me their pre-boarding cabin check. We had a full load of 517 passengers.

Captain Fatima briefed the passenger before we took off. She gave the flight details and the emergency briefing. The A380 is huge and felt like a cruise ship in the sky with double deck. There were many activities after takeoff, the crew showed how to prepare the cabin for inflight service. Purser Alex shows us the ‘hidden’ A380 crew rest.

With a gorgeous sunrise, we started our approach to Bangkok. Enjoy the A380 landing from the cockpit. After landing, the crew showed us their work before deplaning.

This is our last series of Qatar Airways vlog. There are a lot of great people work in aviation, most of them aren't or never been on the camera. One interesting fact: Captain Fatima, was on standby and called out last minute to operate the flight. She didn't know the filming before hand and was not even prepared but you can totally feel her confidence. I became a big fan of her throughout the 6-hour flight together.

Captain Fatima . What can I say . Smart . Professional. The airline is lucky to have her as a Pilot.

I’m a former Cabin crew of Qatar Airways currently training to become a pilot. This series takes me back to my days at QR ( never hated a day at work, oh I miss it dearly ) and I’m so glad that the world gets to see what our jobs like, that crew aren’t just waiters and flying isn’t all about auto pilot, there’s so much work and responsibilities behind.
Oh this Captain, never flown with her, yet I am blown away by her professionalism and confidence, used to love pilots like this. I have a colleague in my pilot training, he’s in love with the Captain’s confidence, literally mimics Captain’s dialogue and watch this video almost everyday. I also feel so proud as part of this family. Can’t wait to go back ❤️

Very refreshing to see female pilot and male cabin crew in one flight.. progressing!

The In-flight service manager is very passionate about his job. Such a big inspiration. Even the captain is so easygoing. She buttered the landing so well that I didn't even realise she touched the plane down.

The A380 cockpit at night is so beautiful.

That captain is mesmerising to watch. She could be the star of her own channel. What a talent - charismatic and a damn good aviator. Go girl!

Love the Captain, what a pleasant individual who seems very humble and extremely talented in her role as Captain.

Wow, this is a phenomenal production - puts legacy media to shame. Captain Fatima was super-impressive, hope to have her command my next Qatar flight.
