Everyone says Qatar Airways’ Qsuite is, if not the best, then one of the best business class experiences in the world - the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards (2019 winner), the Skytrax Awards (2018 winner), MailOnline commenters, frequent fliers. So MailOnline Travel Editor, Ted Thornhill (top left), wanted to find out what all the fuss is about. And low and behold – what the fuss is about is readily apparent at every stage, he writes.
Incredible pictures reveal the inside of Ukraine’s last nuclear missile base where Soviet soldiers waited for the order to destroy America (and yes, there is a red telephone)
Radio Free Europe photographer Amos Chapple, from New Zealand, recently had a look around the site, which lies some 185 miles south of Kiev, and captured the facility in a set of fascinating, if unnerving, photographs. The subterranean base is cylindrical and comprises 10 storeys. It was designed to be self-sufficient for 45 days in the event of a nuclear war and so it contains generators to keep the power running and (very cramped) living quarters with the odd mod con or two. Mr Chapple snapped bunk beds, the silo’s microwave oven, a kettle, the launch buttons, the ladders that connect the facility’s floors, a 750kg blast door and an SS-18 Satan missile on display outside. He described the experience as ‘incredibly unsettling’.

City of dogs: Inside Chernobyl's chilling Exclusion Zone, where hundreds of semi-wild hounds roam the radioactive ruins
Student Alex Hendriks expected lifeless desolation when he visited the centre of the Chernobyl disaster zone in northern Ukraine with his friends. And while it was certainly bleak – it was far from lifeless inside the radioactive ruins. There were hundreds of dogs roaming around. They entered the Exclusion Zone, which includes the city of Pripyat, on a bus operated by tour company Gamma Travel, having been picked up in Kiev, and this bus then drove them around the zone for the entire day. The dogs are the descendants of pets left abandoned by the former residents 35 years ago.

Pictured inset is the 'real' Hagrid's hut from the Harry Potter movies.

This is the first glimpse of the stunning rooftop infinity pool at JFK Airport's hotly anticipated $265million TWA Hotel (insets show exterior and interior).

Now that's artistic talon-t! The largest bird sculpture in the world took six years to build and boasts a wingspan of 150ft
The colossal concrete structure in the heart of Kerala in India, called Jatayu Earth's Center, was the brainchild of Indian filmmaker and sculptor Rajiv Anchal, who always dreamed of bringing the mythical bird Jatayu to life. According to Hindu legend, Jatayu witnessed princess Sita being kidnapped by the demon king Ravana. When Jatayu tried to stop Ravana, he chopped off one of the bird's wings with his sword. In keeping with the story, the concrete version of Jatayu only has one wing. The giant sculpture can be reached via a winding footpath or by cable car. A helicopter service can also be arranged.

MailOnline Travel's Sadie Whitelocks (inset) ventured to Karkar island off the north coast of Papua New Guinea to find her estranged great uncle, who moved there more than 50 years ago. The small outcrop, which is just 24km long and 19km wide, is home to a very active volcano (top left and right), cocoa plantations that supply M&S; with chocolate beans, vast swathes of jungle and axe-wielding locals who aren't keen on foreigners exploring the terrain...
Vivre La Cuisine! Hotel named after the late Michelin-starred chef Bernard Loiseau continues his legacy with dreamy food - and even the kids approve

Plane cabins resembling a cross between a restaurant, sports bar, living room and a shop could be coming to a flight path near you in the near future. That's if a certain British aircraft interior designer and his team get their way. Ross Burns is the lead designer of cabin interiors at Bournemouth-based Aim Altitude, the company behind the bar areas on Emirates and Virgin Atlantic. Now they've created a social space concept called 'Ultraflex', reminiscent of Virgin's sofa-clad 'loft' area for the A350 - but even more radical.

Bizarre 'upside down' hotel some say inspired the Star Wars Sandcrawler may be on the brink of demolition
Hotel du Lac (main) has been a landmark in the Tunisian capital, Tunis, thanks to its inverted pyramid aesthetics. But now, abandoned and exposed to the elements, its fate hangs in the balance as architects believe it could cost more to restore it than to replace it. The hotel opened in 1973, then Tunisia was chosen as a filming location for the desert scenes in the very first Star Wars film. That movie featured the Sandcrawler (inset), a huge mobile fortress used for transport and shelter by the scavenging Jawas. Due to its similarity to the hotel, Star Wars fans couldn't help but wonder if creator George Lucas was inspired by the building.
