Been checking the flight times from SFO-DOH. Its now approximately 1.5 hours longer with a total flight time of 16.5 hours. Of course things can change before my flight in just under four weeks time, but I wasn't particulary looking forward to 15 hours let alone any longer!
I have a 3.5 hour layover in SFO before my connecting flight to SAN so at least with the extended flight, my connection time wouldn't be so bad now.
