I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask but my wife and I have an American Airlines award booked on QR flying JNB-DOH-PHL. Our layover in DOH is about 20 hours. We're flying in Y. I called the QR office in Philadelphia and the woman who answered said we do not qualify for the transit accommodation services because it's an award ticket booked through AA and that service is only available if the ticket is booked with QR. Is that accurate or should I HUCA?

I just got a complimentary voucher for the Oryx Rotana as I have an 8h layover but I am thinking of just biting the bullet and reserving the incredibly overpriced Airport Hotel in Doha just so I can maximise my sleeping time and not going through immigration and all of that hassle. Has anyone asked QR to exchange the Oryx Rotana for a discount voucher at the Airport Hotel ;-) ?

i'm also curious, as I didn't see a way to book specific number of hours on their web page, which only asked dates of checkin and out.

The procedure is that you book a full day and then contact them if your stay is shorter than 24 hours. They will then send an amendment form. They give a discounted rate in a couple of bands depending on length of stay. The reduction isn't huge and I think only available for stays less than 13 hours.

I've stayed in the Deluxe Room in Dec. 2015 and found it to be very comfortable, clean and quiet.

When I emailed The Airport Hotel regarding hourly bookings, as I want to book for April, they sent me the information below (price in Qatari Riyals on 18 January 2016). Please excuse the format - I can't seem to paste it in a table.

I always wonder why they do not just post these rates on their website vs. having you email them to get them. Seems so inefficient.

Inefficient? Qatar? Never happened before!
