A British Airways flight was delayed for several hours after women members of the Qatari royal family objected to sitting next to men they did not know. The three wives of Sheikh Badr Bin Khalifa al-Thani refused take up their seats on board Flight 563 from Milan's Linate airport to London Heathrow.
Police and Qatari diplomats became involved before the captain told Sheikh Badr's entourage to leave the aircraft. The Qatari royals eventually ended up getting an Alitalia flight to London. They had been on a shopping day-trip to the Italian city.
In addition to his three wives, Sheikh Badr, a junior member of Qatar's 3,000-strong ruling family, was accompanied by a male relative, a cook and another servant on the flight. After boarding, the women complained about the seats they had been allocated because they were next to men they did not know, a spokesman at Linate said.
A delay of nearly four hours ensued as two members of the Qatari party refused to sit down. A BA spokesman said the captain eventually had no option but to return to the terminal.
"The people were offloaded because they failed to comply with safety instructions when the aircraft was taxiing," he said.
Later in the evening, the royals traveled business class with the Italian carrier, Alitalia, with their staff in economy. The Qatar embassy in Rome said it was a "private matter".

rich my dick,
you are only rich now because of your fucking oil and gas. Guess what lazy idiot qatari, it runs out in time!! Unless you motherfucker go to a School and Study Business and master business administration, and then start attracting tourists and investors to sustain your fucking wealth. But of course I'm sure you wont, coz you are lazy and dont wanna study, just want to spend spend spend till you fucking die. You will not start a business and do something to sustain money. You just depend on what is under than fucking desert of yours.
Perhaps by the time you die, your country is still rich. Well fuck you then! and all your kids, grand kids and the generation after that will suffer the effect of your ffucking ignorance!
You will not live without expatriates man!, specially with the asians. Tell me that in my face again!, And I will ask you, Could you clean your fucking shitty Toilet?? If no, is there any other Qatari who will be interested even if you pay him 100000 QR?? ... NO MATE!
So shut the fuck up, and live your life jerking off with Sattelite TV porn, ang pay hookers who will donkey your lousy dick. You guys are sick! You PRAY after you RAPE someone just because you think they are weaker beings and a blessing/offering to you. You guys are fucking Dinosaur age.
Oh and by the way, The more you screw up your jobs and drink coffee/tea 10 times a day, and have a smoke break 10 times a day, The more WE EXPATS look like ROCK STARS, and no wonder your govt still hires us ;)
What!!!!!!!
okay first of all thats a load of crock.. Cuz people in the royal family fly a private jet! And if the wives decided to experience real life they would have had first class seats with british airways..
umm I know most of you don't know how private these seats our.. but well they are PRIVATE!
You cock suckers!
Nurses and caregivers
I'm an expat who tried to work in Qatar for the love of money but unfortunately I left because I can't stand how Qataris treat filipino,indian nurses....like slaves!!!!they should get investigated and why JCIS(American Standard for Excellence???eek! ) approved this accreditation to one of the biggest government hospital in Qatar????
It All Comes Down to Self-Esteem!!!
I have to admit, this website is hilarious. I visited it today for the first time and I have been laughing the whole time...mostly at the Qatari responses. I am usually very tolerable of other people and cultures, especially if I am not fond of them, but I have to admit that this country is sometimes hard to deal with. Yes, I agree that all Qataris are probably not the same and some are ok, but unfortunately we live in a world of stereotypes and most expats' experiences are not good.
It basically boils down to Qataris thinking they are better than everyone else and we owe them something for them letting us work here. In reality they owe us because it is our technology and brain power that makes this country rich. You take away expat architects, engineers, doctors, establishments and products and then you are left with a lot of dirt, some camels and a bunch of people wearing sheets. So in that regard, Qataris should respect and thank expats for what we do. Hell, besides oil, I cannot think of anything else that Qatar really contributes to the rest of the world. I am open to hear Qatari contributions, if people have them. As far as I can see, Qatari's drive our cars, wear our clothes, eat at our restaurants, listen to our music, watch our television shows, etc. Bottom line is that if Qatar broke off of Saudi Arabia, and floated off into uncharted waters....no one would notice.
Now as far as the reckless driving goes and the responses I have read from local Qataris on this site....I just feel bad for you. Your total disregard for human life is what makes people hate you. So what if this is your country. If you came to our country, you would not be treated like the way you treat us, mainly because we don't have self-esteem issues like you guys. Is it a test of your manhood to drive like a moron or is it that you really don't know how to drive? I will say this, if a local Qatari ever causes me to wreck, I will not care what country I am in and I will kick the living shit out him.
I have been politically correct so far in this passage, but I have to express my distaste a little bit. I have an Middle Eastern heritage but was raised in the US. The people in this country give all middle easterners bad names. Most encounters I have had are with absolute ass holes, which I am sure are all idiots as well. And why do all Qataris that respond to this site always talk back to the Indians and Filipinos? I think I know why, because those are the only two countries that you think exist or maybe you are just all a bunch of vagines that are scared of the rest of us. Bottom line is that QATAR SUCKS and it would be better off at the bottom of the gulf!!!
