Good day fellow flyers,

I’m flying from JNB-DOH-EDI on the 15th of December 2022, which was originally a 2 hour layover has now changed to a 10 hour one! Qatar Airways says due to COVID they no longer can provide transit accommodation for flights more than 8 hours and practically all accommodation is booked up! My main question is
a) will more accommodation open up, I.e on booking.com
b) if not, any suggestions of leaving the airport at around 21:00 and grabbing dinner in town somewhere? Any recommendations? And making our way back to the airport
thanks
