2) Also having never flown through Doha, I'm looking at a couple things, I can do like a 24/48 hour stopover and explore a bit, which I'm favouring (even though it'll be insanely hot in August). But if I bail on that option there's layovers of 2/3/8 hours. I've got priority pass but I'm not sure if it's worth spending 8 hours in DOH even with lounge access. I like airports and my time isn't really worth anything so if it's an airport worth really exploring (seems like it is) I don't mind being there for an extended bit of time.
Thanks folks!
1. The order I would put this in would be 380, 350 (a close second) and 77W last.
2. Personally, I think 8 hours in any airport is too much. DOH is pretty good, it's still an airport. The lounges are good (some better than others) and worth checking out, but I can't imagine enjoying hours and hours of time in a lounge. (I have spent 21 hours in Al Mourjan once during the pandemic / lockdowns)
