Ideas appreciated if anyone has good awareness of MEL airport.
Please do report back as to your experience - I've just booked this for late January without really checking why DOH MEL ADL was available on BA Avios rewards, but not the DOH MEL section. And it showed a roughly 4 hour stop but I now see that it's more likely to be 6 hours. Having looked at the airport website, there doesn't even seem to be a coffee shop open before 06.00
Oh well, for 70,000 Avios and EUR 120.43, I really shouldn't complain - particularly if I get to fly on the promised Q Suite !
