Al Mourjan is by far the busiest I have seen it in a year
It was already known that even QR Platinum pax on Business Classic fares would not be admitted to Al Mourjan and directed to the First Class status lounge.
However, thanks for asking the employees and confirming it.
Probably this is also a sign that QR Platinum pax would need a fare bucket other than "R" to access to access Al Safwa on a paid Business Class ticket.
