SIT BACK WITH THE LATEST HOLLYWOOD STARS

Qatar Airways has announced that it will double the number of movies and TV shows on board over the coming months, increasing the choice of entertainment channels from 950 to 2,000.

Now offering over 240,000 minutes of on screen entertainment means that passengers will never be short of choice on Qatar Airways flights or have to settle with re-watching a film. In fact passengers would need to travel between London and Singapore over 206 times, or even 55 times to the Moon, in order to view all the latest blockbusters and classics available.

This comes on top of the already wide selection of more than 200 audio options and 50 games to entertain both children and adults during their journey.

Passengers can brush up on their Oscar film knowledge and enjoy the latest Oscar-winning movies including Birdman, which won Academy Awards for Best Movie and Best Director, and The Theory of Everything starring Eddie Redmayne, who won the Oscar for Best Actor.

Other Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated movies debuting on board in March include, The Imitation Game starring Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch; Interstellar, which scooped the Academy Award for Special Effects; Foxcatcher featuring Oscar nominee Steve Carell; and Wild starring the Oscar nominated-actresses Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern. In addition, Two Days, One Night, starring French actress Marion Cotillard, who was nominated in the Best Actress category.

The latest seasons from hit dramas including: Downton Abbey, Fargo, Believe, Almost Human, Constantine, Forever, From Dusk till Dawn, Gotham, Happy Valley, Mad Men, How to Get Away with Murder, Person of Interests, Stalker, Suites, The Good Wife and The Flash, will also all be available throughout March.

Passengers travelling on the latest generation of Qatar Airways aircraft can enjoy these entertainment options on some of the best personal viewing screens in the sky with a 26inch HD screen in First, 17inch HD screen in Business and 10.6 inch screen in Economy.

These additions to March’s programme of entertainment are an extension of the existing popular library of content on board Qatar Airways, which includes full box sets of movies such as Harry Potter; The Lord of the Rings trilogy; The Dark Knight trilogy; the X-Men series; the Matrix series; the Aliens titles and all the Twilight movies.
