Qatar to Open $17 Billion Airport Next Week After 6-Year Delay

6 years late is better than never? And in all likelihood Brandenburg will match that opening delay.

Qatar is planning to open Hamad International Airport (a $17 billion project) next week. On April 30, 10 discount airlines will start using the airport. Nearly a month later, on May 27, the airport's lounges are slated to be finished and larger carriers like Qatar Airways will begin calling the airport home.

The most exciting news so far: Hamad will be able to accommodate the A380.

If you'll be flying through the airport this summer, snap some pictures and write up a quick trip report so we can all live vicariously through you and your travels?
