"What a wonderful experience! We had a 9 hour stopover in Doha on our outbound flight and were put up in a 5 star hotel for the evening – meals, drinks and transport to and from the airport included! The meals on the flight were excellent as was the in-flight entertainment. The children were also treated to a wonderful gift. I was most impressed with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff." - Tamatha Urquhart
