I'll be resuming my 4 - 5 trips a year to Uganda, Nigeria and Ethiopia. That all depends on whether these destinations re-open and what their quarantine requirements are. Having said that, the prospect of getting COVID19 and struggling to breathe in one of the less than satisfactory hospitals i...

Only a tick below Qantas. Their effective owner. Don't forget that.I will never ever stoop to flying in a Q

It was Sixt in March this year

It's my understanding that QF platinum has the same privileges as EK platinum when it comes to F lounge access in DXB. You can guest in one adult, provided you're both departing with EK on the same flight.

Qatar Arways definitely the best by far. Even a door!Supertech, I find it highly unlikely you landed in Dubai on a QR flight! They're banned in the UAE right now. I'm guessing you meant you landed in Doha

Don't expect any compensation and don't fly QF ever again
