Scrapped the LAX-KUL mileage run. Here, you can do an actual turn around. With a 2 year old and a 2 month old, I'd rather do this.

Even by my battle-hardened road warrior standards, I'm not sure I could do two 10-hour-plus legs and an overnight stay in Doha each direction. (Looks like it's a relatively short one on the return, with a midnight arrival followed by an 8am-ish departure. I've only flown into DOH once, but I don't recall it having any on-site "napping facilities" a la SIN.)

Just FYI, the LAX-CPT routing mentioned in it is no longer valid. (Plus that thread is eight months old by now!)

Also, if you read that thread you will see the "napping facilities" at DOH discussed...

The overnights in Doha do kind of suck because they don't give you enough time to actually do anything.

On each of our overnight layovers to/from LAX we've stayed at the Souq Waqif boutique Hotels using the stopover program rate. This last turn we joined the group tour put on by the hotel staff. For a free tour, I'd highly recommend it. They brought us in to the camel pens, through the royal horse barn, and to the falcon hospital and market. After that they brought us to one of the "men's rooms" in the Souq. They welcomed the women too and explained the rooms and other points of Qatari culture while we snacked on nuts and dates and enjoyed some tea. It was a great way to burn an hour or two.
