 In real life, oliver is a big-shot executive in one Qatari company. Born in a peculiar little European country, he came to Qatar so long ago that he actually remembers Ramada Roundabout. Sometimes, he even wears a suit. And no - oliver is not his real name...

Hi all... I didn't write for a while on my Blog... you know, vacations etc...
Well, first of all – few impressions from various airports and airlines:
During the summer, I visited Istanbul, Beirut and Abu Dhabi Airports.
Istanbul: If you're ever connecting trough Istanbul, having HSBC bank account is a MAJOR advantage – you're allowed to use “ORANGE” lounge which is wonderful, spaceus and clean. Wi-Fi available and fast. Hours pass buy quickly and easily. Highly recommended.
Beirut: For you smokers out there this place is a treat: probably the only Airport on the planet where you're allowed to light up while waiting for you luggage! Even Istanbul won't let you do that! Hooray!
Abu Dhabi: It's kinda like Doha 10 years ago. Unorganized, unprofessional mess. Apparently, Abu Dhabi is now waking up and wants to be a business hub... Ugh, it's gonna take a while. Even simple things like going to transfer desk require a fair amount of yelling, frustration, etc.
And one more thing: What's up with not having WiFi in Airport lounges? Both Beirut and Abu Dhabi make you buy a card to access it (and in Abu Dhabi – well nobody knows where to get the card, how much is it and how to use it ???????)
C'mon people, it's 2007, wake up. Having WiFi in the Business Lounge is a necessity, NOT a luxury! Ask Doha, Dubai (or any other airport in civilized world).
