The departure from Sydney was 3.30pm and thus dinner was on offer once we were at cruise. I started with Arabic mezze which is a favorite of mine and this selection did not disappoint. Qatar Qsuite

This was accompanied by Pommery Brut Royal. Next, I chose the Arabic chicken kofta with oriental rice accompanied with golden fried onions, cashew and raita yogurt – another great choice.

To finish, as the Boeing 777 slipped quietly over the Western Australian coast near Derby I chose Gourmet ice cream. Magnificent.

The next sector from Doha to Washington was a morning departure from Doha just after 8 am so breakfast followed as the Boeing 777 slipped over Iran. I opted for a compote of fruit and yogurt followed by an omelet which was excellent.

I took lunch over northern Canada and selected smoked salmon for a light starter and then Arabic Mezza again but this time as the main meal. Being a creature of habit I could go past the Pommery Brut Royal. The daylight flight to Washington was effortless and very scenic. My flight crossed Russia, Latvia the Baltic Sea, north of Bergen, Iceland, Greenland and into Canada.
