Check-In
The check-in at Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) was very uneventful. The business line was not busy, so we could quickly check in and get our boarding passes.
Lounge Access
Qatar Airways does not have its own lounge at
Frankfurt International Airport (FRA), but they have an agreement with the
Priority Lounge, which is also a lounge for
Priority Pass Membership.
The
Priority Lounge is located before security at E gate and after passport control in
Terminal 2 of Frankfurt International Airport (FRA).
Boarding
The boarding process is slightly different at Frankfurt International Airport for Qatar Airways.
- First, the Priority Lounge is before security but after passport control. There’s a Priority Lane at the security.
- After clearing security, you show your boarding pass and passport ID to enter the boarding waiting area by the zone numbers.
- Business class is seated in Zone 1.

I also want to point out seats 6E and 6F. They are together seats and located in a section alone by themselves. While the proximity to the lavatory may be bothersome, I think it’s not too bad, especially since there’s a mini divider in front of those seats. If traveling as a couple, I think those seats may be ideal for a secluded feeling during the flight.

Overall, this Boeing 787 has a good business-class seat, and I was very pleased with it!

Lie-Flat Bed
The seat can be turned into a lie-flat position and is comfortable with a padded surface and headrest. I also love that Qatar Airways provides two pillows in each seat.
The cabin also has sufficient airflow, so it wasn’t warm.

Drinks and Food
I chose the signature drink for the welcome drink. A wine list and meal menu contain more beverages such as mocktails, cocktails, etc.

The meal is done “on demand” basis, so you can dine whenever you want to. I chose to dine right after taking off so that I had some time to snooze after the meal service. I applaud Qatar Airways for serving meals and drinks so promptly and efficiently!

The table setting and food are well prepared. I decided my main dish to be the special meal by the chef. I was told the chef was a celebrity chef, and the dish was delicious. It’s a rice dish with curry sauce and has quite a few prawns in it, along with tomato sauce on the side.

Snacks
You can find snacks such as chips and fruits in a small section in the back, before seats 6E and 6F!
