Our 3 months away have come to and end - but more on that later. In chapter 1 of my book I wrote a fairly long story about the last time I travelled home from Europe. And it just reminded me again. This photo was taken right before we commenced our return trip with Qatar Airways. The recent Skytrax Airline Awards ecently voted them #2 airline in the world - with service being a compelling factor. For the next 22 hours after this photo, we were entirely in the hands of the airline and their service. So who is the next person or company that I (and all of the other passengers on that flight) will get to experience next? This year, it was my local coffee shop. After my last trip 5 years ago, it was the post office. Onboard service in an airline is quite unique, and it stands out especially in comparison to other businesses. No one would ever think that the person they’re about to serve has just come off a 22 hour flight by an award winning airline, but how useful would it be to frame every service moment that way. In competing with a 5 star airline, your service will less likely create a gap in the customers mind, and it’s something we should be striving for every day. What if some of your customers were actually frequent travellers. If you knew this about them, you’d be in a great position to serve them like the airlines do. #serviceculture #customerservice #leadership #airlineindustry #businessbook #allin 📷📍Zagreb Airport 🇭🇷

I just checked and can confirm that applications for the two new Qatar Airways cards are live now. Keep in mind that the points these cards earn can be transferred to British Airways and then to Iberia, Aer Lingus or Vueling (and very soon Finnair) since they all earn the same loyalty currency - Avios. Check out the article linked below for a quick primer about what each card will offer. https://lnkd.in/gv67GsH4

Airlines - Bridging the Gulf! Airlines in the Middle East are busier than bees - especially when it comes to codeshares & partners. The latest was #riyadhair & #delta The chart below is also pretty busy (sorry!) 1) Shows how old (or young) each of them are. Saudi has the oldest & youngest. 2) Codeshare partners - most have a wide range of partners 3) Fleet current & (orders) - #Emirates & #qatarairways are the biggies! When it comes to #saudiarabia, Riyadh Air will need to grow up fast! Highlights in yellow are the partnerships with American Carriers - and with the Delta agreement all the big three now have a partner in the region. (added Air Canada as well with Etihad) The one with a big gap is #india - with just Indigo. But the list of code(shares) is sure to grow, as so the fleets! #aviation #travel

FORTH WORTH, DOHA- In a remarkable turn of events, American Airlines (AA) and Qatar Airways (QR), once fierce rivals in the aviation industry, have now entered into the largest codeshare agreement ever witnessed in the airline business. This collaboration allows them to sell seats on each other's flights and market the services under their own flight numbers. #American #AmericanAirlines #AmericanAirlinesnews #AmericanandQatarAirways #AmericanandQatarAirwaysCodeshare #AmericanQatarCodeshare #Qatar #QatarAirways
