15 Pictures From Qatar Airways A380 Inaugural Flight

Good evening from London!

As I've mentioned, earlier today I flew on the much anticipated (by me) Qatar Airways A380 inaugural flight between Doha and London Heathrow.

For a flight I worked so hard to chase I'd usually share some detailed thoughts day of, but I'm just really damn tired. I'm used to not sleeping much when traveling (which is always, nowadays), but the past few days have been on a completely different level for me.

In Seoul on Monday night my flight was delayed by 14 hours, so I ended up sleeping from 2AM till 6AM.
