I certainly am Graham, can't wait to step onboard and give Airbus' latest offering a try. Just need to sort out a trip with Qatar when they take delivery of one. It looks an impressive bird.

Think I've read elsewhere that its 2017 onwards , obviously replacements for the 767 and 747 along with the 787 s already ordered and some delivered . It will be interesting to see the planned BA layout and whether a new CW product will be launched .

Thanks for that, I'll start saving up for my A350 flights.

It looks good as well. Some planes like the Spitfire, Tristar, Concorde, VC10 look right. Some like the DC10, MD11, Trident, A380 don't.

Todays Gulf Times Qatar expects 1st delivery on 13th of this month. Will be interesting to know what route they intend to use it on.

In looking at the one world alliances I was looking at using AVIOS to book a flight on the 380 in biz to visit Doha next year , amazed at their biz offering and always fancied a visit to Doha , still in the early stages of researching but an idea I'm thinking of

Hi I have just booked Turkish Airlines Doha/Man/Doha as the cost of Business on Qatar is crazy Turkish some 1000 pounds cheaper.
Also as a long time (14yrs) Business Traveller on Qatar i feel the product now is not worth that kind of premium.

Finnair will use the 350 on proving flights later in year between Helsinki and Heathrow for those wanting to try out the air plane. Also Helsinki to malaga sounds like a route of interest to get full value...
