I flew from the US to Nepal and back with a connection in Qatar.

The last leg on the return flight was a grueling 19 hour affair. It was also my birthday. Somehow the flight attendants found out about it and assembled an ad-hoc birthday cake. Sang happy birthday and everything. Probably one of the nicest things I've had happen to me on a flight.

So, yeah... great airline.
