Hi QA flyers,
Does anyone know if this service is free to a gold card member, QA webpage is very unclear about this? But its clearly a Gold card benefit they mention.
If I follow the link to the Al Maha webpage it shows a general price and shows that everyone could use this service for a fee.
I would like to use it in transit with my partner.
And can I use it if I fly with economy?
Thanks,
Gold card:
"Enjoy Al Maha Meet and Greet service when you arrive, depart, or transfer through Doha International Airport. You can also choose a guest to benefit from this service at no charge provided they are travelling with you."

Reviving this thread.
I was wondering which of all the services on their website is the one they offer for free to Gold members? They list many services, and mention two lounges, the Oryx and another one. I think they have a lounge in a separate building, is this the one offer to Golds, or is it the regular Oryx we will have to settle with?
Any reviews and feedback appreciated.
Cheers,

Maybe it is not the best place to start another lounge discussion here...
No, you cannot enter premium terminal lounges barely on a gold card. You need to travel in C or F on a QR flight. It is pretty clearly stated in the foot note on the gold card page (http://www.qatarairways.com/global/en/privilege-club-gold.page)
Lounge access does not include the Premium Terminal in Doha unless travelling in the applicable class of service.
The oryx lounge is in the economy terminal.

I think you are misunderstading my question. This is a thread about the Al Maha Services, not QR lounges, I am fully aware of the policies and the Consolidated PT access thread here on FT.
I was wondering if Golds get to use another lounge than Oryx, and I said I know they have another lounge (NOT the PT) in a separate building, and if this lounge is the one used for Golds, but I got an answer in another forum that Golds get the Oryx lounge.
