if color cards are given is it worth checking in online or just check in as normal

Good question as i haven't checked in online since the change i assume that when you print your boarding card it will come back colour coded.

To be honest i have never done it when flying out of Qatar so i cannot answer your question however if you are worried call the Qatar Airways office in either London or Manchester and check with them they will advise you.
Just to try I have been on Qatar Airways web site and the API is working.I went to Qatar Airways .com and MY BOOKING.And put the details in for my flight to Manchester on the 3rd of March.

Unless you specifically ask for a certain menu in advance ( there are loads to choose from) when you book you will be offered the standard menu which usually includes a small salad type starter ( as do all the choices I would think) . The main meal is not likely to be spicy unless you have ordered a non standard menu. The meal is quite substantial and enough to satisfy most , with or without the salad !

Another tip at check in, have a look at your seat allocation. Although we got the ones we reserved on the first leg, we didn't notice until we got to Doha that we hadn't on the second leg and we were seated apart . Luckily we managed to get them changed despite the flight being full.

Can anyone tell me if you have 30kg luggage allowance do you have to use two cases because of the 23kg per case rule that we had with jet last year.

Thanks

Could you help me with a query I have regarding luggage, I have booked my flight through Hoodaki and was told my luggae allowance was 23 kgs. What I would like to know is, would i be allowed to take more than one hold case, as long as i don't exceed the 23 kgs

Thanks

The Preacher,

Passengers in economy are only normally permitted one piece of hold luggage up to 23kg. Details are on Qatari's website. I would ask them if they permit two pieces up to 23kg. A single piece is easier than 2 anyway!
