First thing entertainment should be very good because traveling 14hrs is not a joke, but I have seen that entertainment is worst in qatar airways. Next is food, I have selected food preference as Hindu meal, but in the flight they have not served the Hindu meal I was so upset about food.third cleaning, cleaning was good.
