Qatar Airways A380 Crew Confidential - What you DON'T see as a Passenger

So now I'm back at Hammer International Airport and ready for tonight's A380 flight to Bangkok. This is great, setting up a monreal inside a building from one end of the terminal to the other. This is new. Yes, it's like a soup. inside the airport, yes, yes, look at these things. I still remember when I was a kid we watched these VHS tapes and cassettes, look at this photo from 1958, so here I am boarding the 380 a little before all the

passenger

s because I want to document how the

crew

is preparing for the flight before everyone boards Mr.

Sam, you are welcome aboard today. We are taking a flight to Bangkok. Flight time will be approximately 5 hours and 45 minutes. We will sail at approximately 39,000 feet. the highest we do not expect turbulence however if there are bumps please take your seats, fasten your seat belts and take care of yourself and the

passenger

s if you think that something could affect the safety of the flight do not hesitate to call us at any time and we will inform you. We will give you all our support. Standard taxi time is sure to be 15 minutes or less, so give us your best.

I know you have a full house today, but do you have any special offers to look forward to for Kevin? We will be in economy class, that's all and we have a business class for children from 16 years old in economy class and also a baby in premium cabin, that's all. We just breathed with all the

crew

s. How many crews tonight at the Opera do we have 25 crew members? What, show me,

what

exactly do you do before the passenger arrives? You are preparing. We're here for hospitality, but B, basically, we're here to save for your safety, so basically, when we get on board, we do our security checks and security search. make sure there are no prohibited items on board and no unauthorized people on board so that you can follow me in the cabin, so basically after doing our checks we have pre-arranged the preparation of the cabin for the customer before boarding as well as the we present.

We have our pillows, personal blanket, A Min kits and person without headphones. This is the entire economy cabin that has 461 customers on board. I'm going to take you through the Apper deck, which we also have the premium economy top deck, so this. It's top deck economics, however behind the scenes we have onboard catering and we also have to check our bathrooms and make sure there are no foreign items inside the compartment or under the trash bin, uh I mean to the dump bean too so this is pretty unique on the kar 380 there is a small section of the economy top deck but they have the board from below and walk from the back staircase to get up so now the passengers come one by one one behind me and the two crew members are preparing the ground.

The Vis service is for premium customers. Another thing we do on board. We help the customer put the suitcases in the overhead bins when the overhead bins are full. We ask that you be close by, but Al also makes sure the bag is placed correctly. this is the premium gy we call G or the kitchen where we prepare the premium food for the customers on board behind me there is a first class G right behind me now we have eight first class suites that are facing the plane here, which is behind me, this is the end of the plane of the premium cabins uh, which ends with the changing room, which is easy for the first class customers, yes, we know this is huge, right?, let's take a look look, let's go in, let's take a look once.

Again, ladies and gentlemen, all customers now have a B plane and this plane is now ready to leave for Bangkok, Thailand, it has BR to decommission, ladies and gentlemen, very good evening to our captain. My name is f. Today I will be sharing the cockpit with my colleague Rodriguez I would like to welcome everyone on board on behalf of the crew of Qatar Flight 834 from Hamed International Airport in Doha

what

we say is flat level 370 Z and we are sailing at decimal 83 Mark 83, we left takeoff about 50 minutes ago and expected to arrive in Bangkok in about 5 hours from now at the beginning.

I would like to say that it is a pleasure to have you here with us. um I'll give you a little glimpse of our operation, what we basically do is we meet in the office, from there we get to the plane and then we introduce ourselves to our crew and give them some details about the flight time or the flight level , if weather conditions or turbulence are expected, we also take information from the crew, because if there is any special passenger or special cargo that we have that we need to know about, then we come here and first check the condition of the aircraft if there is any defect.

Today we had some minor defects before departure and that is why we were talking to the engineer to clarify the situation and after clearing that we were on our way. What we basically do is insert the information about the flight plan, basically it is the root, the performance and what we are going to decide to do from the beginning of the flight to the end, we check everything together and there are always two of us because we always need someone. To verify the information, I come from an aviation family. My uncle was actually the first bahini pilot and I was always fascinated by airplanes and decided to be a pilot when I was five years old.

Yes, he was very early, but in the end I was very lucky. I had the opportunity to study what I like and then I joined Qatar as a second officer and I was also lucky enough to fly the 330 at the beginning of my career. I was second officer at 3:30 and then flew the 380. As well as a first officer, then I got command on 320, flew for another 4 5 years or so and now I'm very happy to be flying four engines again, so We are still cruising at flight level FL 370 at this time. We are over the mainland of India and we just passed this waypoint here, we still have another 3 hours to land in Bangkok.

Sunrise just ended and yeah, that's all we're looking for and then we walk into the camp and then we're the customer. someone who wakes up, who wants to have breakfast, who wants to use the bathroom and that's it. I will make a brief report to my team to prepare and plan what will be the next service that we will deliver to the client. Actually, we will fly during the night. We make the drink to wake up the customer and we guess in four areas we walk in the cabin using the food. Trace places the train there and then they wake up the client before landing in Bangkok.

Look, all the customers are sleeping in the cabin. but now we prepare for the service and the service is ready. I'll adjust the lighting system right here, you'll see here, you'll see the lighting system and now you'll see all the decks here, the upper deck, which is just for business class first class and the next one. on the main deck is here, it's the show VI only for economy class for the fs and we go back to the upper deck once again you see the first business Lou and this, normally, first class is a personalized service, we don't bother them, let's go one by one. one to ask the customer to rate the customer the business class is relaxed now it's for breakfast it's here and now we go and check the lighting system missing missing missing we're still missing the B basically um here in the kitchen we have the operator of the kitchen and also galy's asses so basically we'll split the work here ky manager she prepared all the food and put all the food back for a customer in the cabin and then when the crew came here we called, called, we call, we call. food here so now Cino morado for a customer now hello welcome to the secret place for cabin crew on airb 380 that's what we call the coupon follow me that's when we get off we go back we turn the back like this and we We hold on to the handrails.

When you come back here, we are now in the secret cabin crew location on Airb A. This is a crew bunk. It looks like this. We usually provide two pillows here and we also have the lighting here. We have the air for the next one. I'm going to tell you how many crew members we have on the Airb A380, that is, we have a total of 12, one above and one below, here and for the supervisor he will officially be here, why supervisor here, because next to the phone, this and also . We usually went on an ultra-long-haul flight, for example, we flew to Australia to Sydney to separate.

Well, I know you want to know what it is. This is a crew locker room. When they came running, he took off his chain and then put on his uniform. pajamas We will soon begin our descent to Bangkok. The gradual descent will begin in approximately 10 to 15 minutes. There is the arrow to descend. We hope to land in u within 45 minutes from now in Bangkok and for now the arrival runway is the north runway. The western track. Typically, most of the time Qatar was parked in this part of the airport, so we expect to land and clear on the right side and then as for ATC, they will taxi the plane to the designated stand.

Now we are expecting good weather in Bangkok today, it is clear. heavens, the winds are from the east, around 10 knots and, nice, good weather, generally, that's it 1 2 5 1 0 4 okay, so tell me this starts with a big bottle of water 19 19 yes, little girl, you don't have gas, no I have, I have, we will summarize what is left of this flight so that another supervisor can take charge of the plane and know what damage there is.
