DOHA, Qatar: Qatar Airways brings special Eid surprises to the Premium Lounges and inflight during the four-day Eid Al Adha holiday, marking the pinnacle of the Hajj pilgrimage.
Premium Passengers will be welcomed onboard with a special Eid greeting, and offered a bespoke à la carte menu that features Middle-Eastern flavours including a traditional mixed-grill and a layered Arabic cheese ‘Kunafa’, topped with crumbled pistachio. Meals will be presented with a festive lantern and a custom-made box containing ‘Mamoul’ – butter date cookies from Qatar’s prestigious date brand, Qinwan.
The festivities will continue in Economy Cabins, where the in-flight digital menus will include a greeting message from the airline, highlighting a variety of the region’s inspired flavours.
