So friends according to world airline awards Qatar Airways is the
best business class airline in the world.
Complete privacy.
Because it offers one of the best food.
It's more exciting than a restaurant.
And great comfort for example high speed Wi-Fi and much more on a budget.
But if you want a flight within your budget
then you cannot choose a weekend and that's why I tried to
work in the plane and here is my experience as
a software engineer.
Now time to change clothes and let's see what they have given.
I'll go wearing a tracksuit for the first time.
So these are the pants.
And this is the shirt.
Hopefully, they don't say that you have to return it.
I'll take them with me.
I'll ask them. I'll ask for permission if I can take this tracksuit home.
Because it's very soft.
So now I'm all ready. The size is perfect and I'm happy with it.
It's very comfortable and soft that I'll get a good sleep.
I'm so happy that I can't control my excitement.
Thank you. I have kept the clothes here and now I'm ready
to sleep.
The one thing that's left is to keep an alarm of 12:50, right now it's 10:50.
I'll only sleep for 2 hours.
I'll never get this comfortable sleep in a plane ever.
Actually, I have slept in an economy class for 3 hours as well.
I can sleep anywhere but the fun in sleeping in business class is something else.
It's worth experiencing and today I got the chance.
Let's see how well I sleep.
Goodnight.
So a very good morning everyone. I can't believe I slept so so well.
So according to Doha time is 1:40 PM.
My office will start according to Doha time at 3 PM
which will be 8:30 or 9 AM
In Atlanta. So I have to get up for that. I have around
1 hour to get ready and start with a day in the life of a software
engineer in Qatar Airways business class flight.
So let's get started. I'm so so excited.
I'll open both the window panes.
I'll start the day within the clouds.
I'm so excited and first of all, I'll call the attendant.
This is the take-off mode.
This is the breakfast mode. I'll have breakfast first and
this is the attendant's button.
The light's switched on now and I slept for around 2 to 2.5 hours.
I'll take them myself. You have to do some work on your own.
Okay, now in work mode.
Really excited about lunch. After lunch back to office work.
Wow.
Looks amazing. Thank you so much.
Hummus, some veggies, and this is...
I don't know what it is.
This is the bread and their menu is
so big that I think 15 hours or not.
I think even 48 hours are not enough to try every item.
So these are garden vegetables.
The last part of my main meal is fruits.
Right now it's 8:25 AM in Atlanta.
So the biggest advantage of business class for me is
that I can get up without moving my seat.
And can go out as well.
Every time I come it's so clean. I'm really liking this.
And you guys must be wondering where is the toothbrush, it wasn't in the kit.
So the toothbrush is here.
You can pick as many as you want but I'm going to take just one.
To brush my teeth. I had my lunch and now time to brush.
This is stuff for shaving here as well. I don't shave.
So there is no need for that.
And in the next drawer, there are more toothbrushes and shaving stuff.
And this is I think air freshener, okay.
Cool. Let's brush our teeth.
7 hours more. I think the whole office day will go by on the plane.
To see the WiFi speed let's open incognito.
So google.com and the page is opening not that slow.
I thought that it was slow. Open and stop insulting me.
It was working fine just now.
Now it's opened. It's a bit slow.
And remember that Qatar Airways's Wi-Fi is also a public Wi-Fi so you have to
make it secure.
Calling grandma but it isn't connecting because I'm not on a VPN.
I'll have to connect to the VPN again, the WiFi is good though.
So that's why I use my favorite VPN called Surfshark so that
I'm not in danger of a security threat and I can do WhatsApp
calls conveniently which were blocked before and also unblock Netflix
on the go as well. So that's why definitely check
out surfshark VPN and if you will use my code
Singh in USA, you'll get an 83% discount
with extra 3 months free. So definitely
check it out and the link will be in the description below.
So overall things are exciting. I attended two meetings and
there was neither a WiFi outage nor anything else.
Let me show you the WiFi speed. Basically, I'm connected to a VPN so it doesn't show the speed.
So overall trust me no meetings got disconnected.
The only con is that if in 30 minutes I'll take a break from WiFi
if I put it on standby then the WiFi will get disconnected.
But I am not doing it. I'm always connected to the Wi-Fi and using it.
So that's why no outages.
Call attendant.
Their service is very fast. They came within 1 minute.
I have ordered something new. So I'm ordering the Achari Fish.
This is my third meal.
It'll still take 5 hours to reach Atlanta.
So fish, sauce, rice, and papad. So excited.
The laptop shouldn't be closed because then the WiFi will get disconnected.
Right now t must be 12 in Atlanta so I'm actually
In sync with Atlanta lunchtime.
To stay awake during the day and sleep at night. I have made my body ready.
So that I don't have jet lag when I reach home.
My body is stiff my working so much.
So I'm going to get up again.
I have had lunch and breakfast 2 times each so 4 meals in total.
So my body is asking for a walk.
They don't have a bar like the Emirates.
So that's why I come to the bathroom to stretch and nothing more.
Oh, wow.
It went sideways first but I still hit all of them.
I'm working in a relaxed manner.
So Darsh is here again. There is space for you as well.
Yeah, sit, sit.
So one thing is if you have a friend or any person you know who works for an airline
like Delta airlines, Qatar airways or anything
they get free tickets and they can travel freely anywhere in the world
as long as an airline plane of the company they are working in
they have blank tickets.
So for example the first class here today is 70% occupied.
So if a Qatar Airways employee decides they want to travel from Doha to Atlanta
they can travel free of cost.
Because the seats are empty.
In the business class because 20% of the seats are empty.
So landing in the next one and half hours or one hour and 15 minutes
Before we land I have ordered my sixth meal.
It feels sad to do this but I had to do it out of necessity because
I'm eating like 3000 to 3500 calories.
Because I'm bulking right now and it has become a habit while living in India.
So I feel this hungry naturally.
One more thing before landing is a warm towel.
Oh my god, it's very hot.
So finally landed, I noticed two things.
Number one: They didn't give us an immigration form.
The second is that I'm feeling dizzy because I was landing this way.
Even if I turned my head a little because I'm facing against the direction
of the plane.
So I'm feeling dizzy and the third thing is that
the meetings were very smooth.
As soon as the Wi-Fi turned off I switched on my Hotspot in the air
and no one knew I was using it on the plane.
I told them hey I'm landing in the next 10-15 minutes.
But they never asked me how are you able to have WiFi. No one asked me that.
So it was smooth. All the meetings attended and now
it's almost 5 PM
In Atlanta. Great day for an engineer. Not great as well cause I have a headache
So almost a decent day of an engineer in the plane
It was fun.
They told us it'll take 20 minutes to find a place by which we can go inside.
Time to say goodbye.
This is the first time that this whole cabin space was for me.
And there is a mirror through which you can see your luggage.
This seating arrangement is perfect for a family of 4 people.
You can sit in front of each other you know you can have lunch as a dining
table in the center. It's very cool.
I'm still feeling dizzy because of relative velocity.
I was facing this way.
The plane was landing this way.
Because of Monday, the line is empty.
Because of business class, my baggage came quickly.
If you take a look at the line for the bus. I usually take Marta.
If you take a look at the line for the bus, it was so long.
That's why I decided to take an Uber.
I reached back home.
Hi Apurv.
There is a note for me here.
Let's read.
Welcome home. Eat as much of this baklava and the
white corn Chicken Chili in the refrigerator as you want.
I also washed your sheets and some clothes lying around.
I am so happy you are back. Can't wait to
see you. Wow, this is so sweet.
Let's eat.
So he went to the farmers market, especially for this.
Why isn't it opening?
Now, time to open the suitcase and give away all the
gifts that I got from India.
I got these Ladoo for everyone and this was the best immigration experience
of my life.
I was the first one to get out of the plane.
Because business class people leave first.
So for that reason line was really short.
Because there were 400 passengers behind me.
I used to be behind 400 passengers.
I was in front of them and within a few seconds, it was over.
And this was the first time the immigration officer didn't ask me for anything.
Neither my I-20 nor my... what else do they ask for?
my job letter, OPT, EAD card, nothing.
Only passport and that's it.
They didn't even ask for Sevis ID. I was just surprised how it happened.
But it was amazing.
I don't even recline the reclining bed. So you cannot be restful
and at peace, if you want to be successful.
