“those upgrading from economy to business class with points will no longer have access to the AM Lounge And for those upgrading from business to first class (or from economy to first class on short-haul routes in the region), you’ll no longer get access to the Al Safwa Lounge in DOH.” Source reputed blog.
OP was clear that they're on award tickets as opposed to upgrades. No need to rely on bloggers; passengers holding award tickets are entitled to AM or AS lounge access. This is different from passengers holding paid tickets which have been upgraded using some type of non-cash mechanism. Those passengers are entitled to lounge access based on the ticket that they purchased, before upgrade.
