QA premieres family movies on board

Qatar Airways has announced that passengers travelling with the airline this month “can look forward to an exciting collection” of family-favourite movies from Disney/Pixar to enjoy during their journey.
Available from October, Qatar Airways will premiere the critically acclaimed movie Finding Dory – yet to be released on DVD – on Oryx One, along with other award-winning Disney/Pixar films, including the Toy Story collection, A Bug’s Life, Monsters Inc and Monsters University, Cars, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Wall-E, Up, Brave, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur and
Finding Nemo.
“Qatar Airways provides its travellers with one of the most extensive entertainment libraries available in the skies. Oryx One, the airline’s award-winning in-flight entertainment platform, provides up to 3,000 entertainment options, including movies, TV box sets, games and music. From the latest Hollywood premieres to the best of Bollywood, Arabic blockbusters, children’s films, cinema classics and much more, Oryx One offers passengers hours of enjoyment in the sky across Qatar Airways’ global network of more than 150 places,” the Doha-based carried said in a statement.
The airline’s new children’s activity kits, featuring Hasbro’s Mr & Mrs Potato Head, were recently recognised in the TravelPlus Awards for their interactivity. A total of four different kits, each featuring a different type of game, are available to families flying to and from Doha on both long-haul and short-haul flights.
Young travellers can explore and play with glow-in-the-dark toys and stickers, interactive bag, and a gadget stand. Kits for infants include a peek-a-boo Mr Potato Head plush toy and soft books, with similarly themed children’s meal packs distributed to young travellers with priority.
Qatar Airways senior vice-president of marketing and corporate communications, Salam al-Shawa, said: “We’re committed to continually innovating the passenger experience on board Qatar Airways flights by providing the latest in-flight entertainment and connectivity. We will continue to update our collection every month to maintain a rich and extensive selection and to offer fresh and current content.”
