Thanks! So, it's probably best to leave three hours or more in CAI for the transit? If I'm using EY for the inbound award flight, I have a choice of either 2:25 or 5:05, since my first flight would be the QR 7:10PM CAI-DOH. I'm concerned that 2:25 might not be safe. Is there a QR lounge if I have 5 hours between?
