I am gold card on Qatar and usually fly business class but discovered that with a recent economy ticket I could only use the oryx lounge ! Furthermore my 4 guest passes are only available for oryx longe only. These are worthless so called freebies. I entered the oryx lounge, took one look and walked back out without ordering anything. It is an overcrowded lounge serving crap to the greedy passengers of this world who pile up their plates because they think we have to make the most of this.
Qatar have wonderful food and wine in business class but their Doha lounge choice for frequent flyers like me is an insult. I have started using Oman Air and stop overs at Muscat to enjoy their lounge facilities .
