Alrighty, so after arriving at Gate C8 at Doha :qatar:, I grabbed my belongings, exited the aircraft, and then proceeded to the passport control :passport_control:. After that, I proceeded through the re-entry of the airport security before heading off to Gate C11 for my 8:00 AM QTR725 Flight to the USA :united_states:. I hope that you enjoy the shots of this second leg. As you can see, I flew the previous flight on the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and now on the second leg, I’m flying the same aircraft. Once again, I hope you enjoy this second leg. Here go the shots of this second leg.

Alrighty, here I am at Gate C11 DOH airport, with my aircraft parked at the gate, getting cleaned up and loaded up with catering and also loaded up with checked luggages :luggage: before we started boarding our Qatar Flight 725 Service to Chicago O’Hare at 6:55 AM. Let’s get this flight started.


Upon boarding, at every seat, there is a pillow, blanket, and an eye mask. As boarding was completed, at 8:02 AM, we pushed back from Gate C11 Doha Airport, the welcome announcement was commenced, then the Qatar Airways safety video being played, started up our loud blasting GE90 engines, by starting one and then here we are taxiing to RWY 34L for takeoff, taxiing past a Qatar B777-300ER and a Qatar B737 MAX 8 that u see in the distance.


Then started up the other engine just before we started to line up RWY 34L for takeoff. The captain would go “Flight attendants, prepare for takeoff”, when we neared the ending of RWY 34L.


And off we go, as we just lifted off RWY 34L from Doha :qatar:. We are now airborne, on our way to Chicago USA :united_states:. Bye bye Doha :qatar:


Here we are, climbing above FL160 over Al Rayyan, crossing the ocean :ocean: as we left the Qatar :qatar: airspace.


And then we leveled off initially at FL300. Flying over Egypt :egypt:, the Qatar Flight attendants started handing out hand towels for us to dry our hands. Then later on, they started serving us breakfast :pancakes: as we were given a Ham, Egg :cooking: & Cheese :cheese_wedge: Croissant Sandwich :sandwich: :croissant:, mixed fruits :watermelon: in a cup, a strawberry yogurt :strawberry::soft_ice_cream:, and Orange Juice :beverage_box: :tangerine:. Then trash was collected. Then I opened up the IFE, scrolled through the movies section :movie_camera: and watched “Tyler Perry’s Straw”. After the movie, I listened to Iba One music :musical_notes:. Then later on, hand towels were distributed for us to dry our hands before our lunch service. Then for our lunch service, we were given an option of Beef :cut_of_meat: or Chicken :poultry_leg:. So I chose the Beef :cut_of_meat: option. Given that, it came with Beef :cut_of_meat:, White Rice :cooked_rice:, and Broccoli along with a Bread roll :bread: with butter :butter:, a Salad :green_salad: with Ranch Dressing, a bottled water :droplet:, and a Haagen Daas Ice Cream :ice_cream: for dessert and a choice of beverages which I got a Diet Dr. Pepper :cup_with_straw:. After that, I covered myself with a blanket and rested my head on a pillow against the window, closing the window shade to get some rest since I didn’t sleep while I was at The Dubai Balloon in Dubai :united_arab_emirates:. Then here we are, making our way through Europe, flying over the Adriatic Sea :ocean:, between Italy :italy: and Croatia :croatia:, as I opened my window shade to capture it from Seat 18K :seat:. Then after leaving the European airspace, we then climbed to FL320, then FL340 where we flew over the Atlantic Ocean :ocean:, making our way to North America to where we were served our second lunch :sandwich: in which were given the option of this time Beef :cut_of_meat: or Steak :cut_of_meat:. So I chose Steak :cut_of_meat: that comes along with Mashed Potatoes :potato: and Green Beans, along with a bread roll :bread: with butter :butter:, a salad :green_salad: with dressing, a bottle of water :droplet:, and this time a chocolate cake :shortcake: with chocolate frosting for dessert and this time chose Sprite :cup_with_straw:.


Then we step climbed to FL360, and then two hours later, to FL380. Then our pre-landing snack was served as we got a Turkey :turkey:, Cheese :cheese_wedge: , Tomatoes :tomato: and Lettuce :leafy_green:, with Mayonnaise Sandwich :sandwich: with Kit-Kats :chocolate_bar: and a bottled water :droplet:. Then we finally climbed to FL400, less than an hour before we began our descent onto Chicago O’Hare. Then I chewed on bubblegum while we started our descent onto Chicago O’Hare. Then here we are at Skokie - Siena at Old Orchard, with ORD airport in sight, aiming for RWY 10C for landing. So the captain goes, “Flight attendants, prepare for landing”, as tray tables are stowed, seats in the upright position and my AirPods put away for landing into Chicago O’Hare :united_states:.


And here we are on short final RWY 10C ORD airport before we touched down into the USA :united_states: after a 15hr flight from the Middle East.


And we just landed into Chicago O’Hare :united_states: RWY 10C. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. We exited the runway, and then crossing RWY 10L, spotting two Etihad B777-300ERs at the International Terminal 5, before we taxied to Gate M18 for our arrival to ORD airport.


And we just arrived at Gate M18 ORD airport. Once again, welcome to Chicago O’Hare. Time to grab my belongings, exit the aircraft, and proceed to passport control :passport_control: before heading over to Terminal 3 to layover and catch my final 7:03 PM flight to St. Louis on American Airlines, the first time on the Boeing 737 MAX 8.

And that completes the second leg from :qatar: Doha to Chicago O’Hare :united_states:. I hope that you enjoyed this second. Stay tune for the final leg for St. Louis on American Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8. So be safe and have a blessed Father’s Day.
