DOH lounge for spending the night
 

Good morning colleagues,

I will be traveling from Hong Kong to Doha (CX Business) and will arrive in Doha at about midnight. I have a connecting flight on Qatar (Business) to Dubai at 8am the next morning. Is there a lounge I can use to spend these eight hours in? I am a US Citizen and do not need a visa for Qatar. My wife is a US resident (Citizen of the Dominican Republic) and will only have a transit visa. Can she also access the lounge with me? Thanks!

Qatar has a fantastic Business lounge (actually its an entire terminal), be sure to check out the massage chairs, showers, and the jacuzzi. ;)

I don't think that Biz class pax have access to the jacuzzi, spa or bedrooms in the DOH Premium Terminal Lounge. That being said, would a stay at this lounge be possible/comfortable from 11pm until my flight leaves at 8am?

Well, they have lounging chairs and quiet corners, so I'm sure you could get some sleep if needed. The entire place is quite comfortable, not a bad place to spend 8 or so hours.

If your layover is between 8 and 24 hours, Qatar Airways sometimes pays for some expenses --> http://www.qatarairways.com/us/en/tr...mmodation.page
I also recall that US citizens do get a visa-on-arrival, but it's not free.

But I think DOH-DXB flight will be sold as first so OP will have access to F part of the PT.

Very interesting (and great if true). Where did you find this out? Thanks.

There are several threads in QR board on this.
