Alrighty folks, I hope that you have enjoyed my second leg on Qatar Flight 782 from 
Miami to Doha 
overall. Now that’s being done, I headed off the plane and proceeded through passport control 
and re-entered security to head to Gate C9 for my third and final leg from Doha to Dubai 
. Arriving at Doha on the Airbus A350-900, I was expecting to fly that final leg from Doha to Dubai on the Boeing 787-8. Apparently at the gate, there seems to be an aircraft swap from a Boeing 787-8 to a Boeing 777-300ER. As I chose Seat 11K 
, I was worried that they were gonna change my seat. Therefore, I was hoping that they didn’t change my seat since there was an aircraft swap. So anyways, let’s get right onto it and I hope you enjoy this final leg aboard Qatar Airways Flight 1002 on this short 1:05 AM flight to Dubai .

Here I am at Gate C9, as my aircraft got swapped to a Boeing 777-300ER as mentioned earlier that I was expecting to fly the Boeing 787-8 over to Dubai
. But anyways, here goes the plane getting cleaned up before boarding began at approximately 12:05 AM for this quick 1hr 20min flight to Dubai . So let’s get this flight started and welcome board Qatar Airways Flight 1002 service to Dubai
Alrighty, boarding has been completed and we pushed back at 1:02 AM, played the Qatar Airways safety video, started up its loud blasting GE90 engines and here we are taxiing to RWY 34R for takeoff, whilst we taxied past the Qatar A380 and somewhat a Qatar B777-300ER. Oh btw, my seat wasn’t changed. I still got seat 11K
.
The captain goes “Flight attendants, prepare for takeoff”, first in Arabic and then in English as we got near the ending of the runway and then lining up RWY 34R before spooling up our GE90 engines and that roar sound during that takeoff roll
And there goes the GE90 engine roar as we lifted off RWY 34R, airborne and off we go to Dubai
. C ya later Doha
Banked to our right, heading eastbound for Dubai
, flying past Doha airport, in the distance that we just took off from, and across the Persian Gulf 
And leveled off at FL290 since it was a very short flight on a heavy. Due to its very short flight to Dubai
, there was no inflight service. So I went ahead and took out my Synders Pretzels 
to snack on this short flight. And here we are cruising over Persian Gulf taken from Seat 11K , as I am seated way in front of the engine. Then I put on earphones 
to listen to some music 
.
Then I chewed on bubblegum as we began our descent right after our short cruise, as the seatbelt signs turned on, having everyone to be in their seats in preparation for landing. Here go the Dubai airport as seen in distance before we did our approach pattern before entering final, aiming for RWY 12L DXB airport. So, ladies and gentlemen prepare for landing into Dubai
And here we are on short final RWY 12L before we landed into Dubai
, home to Emirates Airlines. I cannot wait to get some sleep when I get to the hotel since it was an early morning flight.
And we have landed in Dubai
. Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Dubai International Airport. The local time is 3:00 AM as we are one hour ahead of Doha . So we exited the runway, then crossing RWY 12R and then we taxied to our arrival Gate Concourse D Gate C5 at Terminal 1.
And we have arrived at Concourse D Gate C5 Terminal 1 DXB airport at 3:05 AM. Once again, welcome to Dubai
. So now, it’s time for me to grab my belongings, exit the plane and proceed over to passport control and then catching the DXB sky train 
over to Concourse C Terminal 1 to proceed to Baggage Claim 
before catching a Dubai Taxi 
to DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai M Square Hotel and Residences 
for my two week vacation.
And that completes the 
St. Maarten to Dubai trip via Miami and Doha. I hope that you have enjoyed this journey overall and I’ll be looking forward onto plane spotting at Dubai airport spotting a bunch of Emirates A380s and B777s, also other airlines. So stay tune for that. Otherwise, be safe and have a blessed night.
