First we were delayed an hour due to weather - not the airline s fault. They assured us that our bags would make it on our connecting flight in Doha. We made it but our luggage did not. It took all the next day to get it. Also a child had pooped on the middle chair and floor right before we had to sit down on the window and aisle seat. We had to tolerate a disgusting smell for 13 hours from DC to Colombo. The staff were nice but couldn’t spray away the stench. They did not offer us another seat. The food was mediocre at best. It was the worst flight I have ever taken. I will never fly Qatar airlines again.
