No. I don't recommend staying there if you plan to do some sightseeing of CAI. It is better to select a hotel in the city center. The traffic in CAI is crazy and you will be spending a lot of time just commuting from your hotel to touristic sights and back.

I wonder if the latest US electronics ban will affect a journey ex-CAI ?
Presumably not if connecting in e.g. LHR as you would no doubt be rescreened before departure from UK but CAI-DOH-xxx could be a real pain

It's already on a banned list. I'm glad I didn't buy positioning flights directly from UK to CAI.

For this routing, luggage must be reclaimed regardless in JFK for example, so it would just be CAI-LHR-JFK where one would have to be without larger electronic devices....

no, but I THINK you might be able to do CAI-LHR-MAD(or perhaps even other cities with direct AA service to the US)-JFK/MIA-wherever for an extra 40TP or a few more miles.

if one had left a laptop (say) in london left luggage one could presumably pick that up in LHR on your way through from CAI to whereever?
