Total newbies to Qatar and DOH.
Seeing conflicting information on a few points and hoping someone here might have updated information:
• JFK > DOH > MLE: Proof of vaccination covers PIR requirements for MLE, however how about DOH (given long lay over etc?).
• AMEX Centurion Lounges and/or Priority Pass options now back to operating at pandemic status?
• Qatar Airlines once offered the Qatar Stopover Program for long layovers.
1) Is this a viable option for 2021?
2) Does this program support baggage management and re-entry to airport to minimize delays/security requirements/risk of unknown issues for first timers at DOH/Qatar?
