1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #193 - Dreamliner 787 flight

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #193

- Dreamliner Boeing 787, Doha-Singapore


(The Qatar Airways headline on their advertisement said, "Fly in our brand new Dreamliners to Europe" which succeeded in catching our eye, and money. But imagine the disappointment when on the day of the 0400hr flight, a 'technical software error' caused an almost 9-hr delay, and a diversion - an "FIM", airline code for 'I screwed up'  - to Emirates instead. It was with a bit of relief that the return home was error-free and we finally got our wish to dream on the Dreamliner. Was it any good? Not much more really. Perhaps the 5-setting window shade, not a real plastic shade, stood out the most. We thought the Airbus big-mama A380, was better, frankly)
