- I was under the impression that only the Al Safwa (F) lounge had private sleeping rooms. Does Al Mourjan (Biz) lounge have them as well?
- Does anyone know if flights from CMB arrive at a gate location or an apron location where I will need to wait for the buses?
- The CMB-DOH flight is operated by an A340-600, which according to seat guru has a F section. On QR's website, I can only book business fares and it's says no F class is available. Is it one of those flights where F seats are reserved for elites but served as Business class?
Apologies if these questions have already been answered. I couldn't seem to find it in any of the threads. Many thanks in advance!
Hi
Bostan,
The A340's used to have an F class, but they have since been refurbished to offer a much better product in J - with the loss of the seats that were in F.
In terms of whether you will have a remote-stand, it is totally random. That being said, it would be rare for an A340 to be parked away from the main Concourses, so I would probably assume a parking stand with a jetway into the Terminal.
While the Al Mourjan does not have specific sleeping rooms, it does have Sleeper Pods with comfortable sleeper chairs - located to the right hand side as you enter the Lounge. Note that there is also a Quiet Section with lounge-chairs, but the room is not that quiet when you factor in snoring, whispering, etc.
Safe travels,
M
