I am sure I am missing something. Has no one has commented on this?

News item from Paddle Your Own Kanoo: Kuwait, Saudi and Qatar airways are among those that will provide 160 day-trip flights from Dubai, Jeddah, Kuwait City, Muscat and Riyadh for fans who cannot find lodging in Doha. One hundred and eighty flights a day?? 160 in and 160 out? The idea is to fly in in the morning, see your match, and then back to some other part of the Gulf for the night.

Is this a recipe for chaos?? Even if Doha Airport can handle the flights, what will immigration look like? Or are we just going to pass on that formality?

Many fans would probably rather sleep in the airport, especially if they have back-to-back matches to watch…

I must be missing something. Please ‘splain me.
