Qatar Airways has announced the introduction of caviar service in its business class on select routes. This addition will be available "onboard Qatar Airways business class between Doha and Boston, Dallas, Hong Kong, Houston, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Sydney, and Washington," according to a statement from the airline.
The airline did not specify the origin of the caviar or the quantity that will be loaded on these flights. The move appears to be more of a marketing strategy rather than a substantial enhancement to the overall passenger experience. Despite this new offering in business class on some routes, Qatar Airways continues to use pre-Qsuite business class products.
Offering caviar is seen as an interesting experiment in passenger preferences. Raw sturgeon eggs are considered a delicacy that requires a certain level of gastronomic curiosity. Whether passengers choose it for its luxury appeal or opt for more familiar comfort foods remains to be seen.
