I have experience of flying Qatar Airways a couple of times. It's a good airline, in my opinion. The Airline boasts of its multi-national crew...from more than 53 countries back in 2006....now may be from more. Most of them are very frank. Make passengers feel at home. Once I was flying first class and luckly met a Nepali air hostess. The service was fantastic. We kept talking whenever she was free. But another time, in Doha -Kathmandu route, a foolish looking Bengali girl was the incharge of Business class where I was travelling. She spoiled everything....seemed to be nervous or something. I was wondering the fate of economy class passengers...if she were to be there. Generally we expect more when travelling business or first class. Once I was travelling economy class from India. Because of rude Indians the crew members were no better than from any other ordinary airlines like Air India.

Silk Air is great but as it involves much longer flying time...I would prefer Qatar via Doha irrespective of the quality of service they provide.
