CHECK IN

I arrived at the airport about 2 hours before flight departure. The Qatar Airways counters were the last ones - at the end. Went straight to the Business Class check in desk, which was very slow. Maybe spent there like 10 minutes. However I received my lounge invitation and boarding pass.
There was almost nobody at both security check and passport control, so I went through fast.

LOUNGE

All Qatar Airways business class passengers are invited to use the "Preslav" Business Lounge.

Preslav Business Lounge

This lounge is the biggest and most exclusive lounge at the airport, but I still prefer "Vitosha".

BOARDING

Boarding was called about 45 minutes before flight departure. But actually the real boarding started about 20 minutes before takeoff. Business Class was called to board first.
I was welcomed by the friendly crew, which brought me to my seat. They offered me a welcome drink and a hot towel. Menus were also handed out. Huge blankets and pillows were waiting at the seat.
