Departure from Doha: ME 4437 / DOH-BEY: Flight operated by Qatar Airways and marketed by partner carrier.
STPC not permitted since DOH-BEY sector flight is not marketed by Qatar Airways
Thanks!

Yep, that's what I have been told by the live chat rep.
JED>DOH>JFK Decent number of flights available out of JED - just have to plan around the elders of the family to make it least burdensome.

If they offer nothing then unfortunately you will need to book and pay for the hotel yourself.
Yeah that makes sense. I booked the Oryx anyway as planned. If I wasn't traveling with family, I would chance it with the sleeping rooms in the Al Safwa lounge.
