I can see the Plaza Premium lounge is open on select days. I'd be surprised if QR didn't have a contract with them but I don't know. Certainly isn't a given.
QR use the Turkish Airlines lounge at IAD. If it's open you could also use the BA lounge.
I've used the Turkish Airlines lounge on my PriorityPass and it's okay but nothing to write home about. It can get very busy.

Schwann thanks for this update. Mrs. jmj9905 and I haven't flown qr since 2017. We leave on April 6 iad/doh/jnb. We were just talking about the Turkish lounge in 2017 being a mess. Very crowed and being remolded. We ended up at the Ba lounge. Guess things haven't improved much so we will just head for the BA lounge.
Just to let you know that, the TK Lounge usually is super crowded during QR flight times and it might be difficult to find a seat. Although the food over there is quite decent even though it's not at pre-COVID levels.
The BA Lounge has the pre-flight Club dining section closed and everyone is seated at the main area ( not sure if there is a private arrangement for F pax and GGL's ) thus if there is a BA flight that would depart at the same time as your flight, you might also have difficulty finding seats over there and the BA Lounge only opens during BA flight times thus if you are leaving with the morning QR flight out of IAD, the BA Lounge would not be open at that time.

I have used both the BA and TK Lounges at IAD in the near past.

One more questions. Single ticket purchased business class / Oneworld Emerald.
QR JNB-DOH
AC DOH-YYZ
Will I able to use the QR Al Mourjan lounge during my 3-hour DOH transit based on my class, status and inbound QR flight?
Can I present my inbound JNB-DOH boarding pass for scanning or will they require the outbound boarding pass?
AC uses the Oryx lounge.

Does anyone know if the LH Business Lounge is open at the moment and still the place for QR J pax? We'll be flying QR J next month and I was wondering what the lounge situation was like (we've never flown to/from FRA before).
Edit: I should have added, the Oneworld website states this lounge is "Temporarily closed" but not sure if that's up to date: https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges?location=FRA

Seems so, on check-in on Friday night there are about 5 or 6 late evening QF coded flights but all codeshares, none were QF operated. It looked like the Plaza Premium was open if you want to pay. I did wonder if we should be given a voucher or something for the lack of a lounge, it's a chunky J class ticket price and I needed somewhere to do some work and to be honest, I really needed a wash. To top it off it was an old 777 without the Q Suite as well. Just not my day really.

First time flyer with QR. Not impressed with telephone customer service …and the web site keeps churning.
I’m flying LAX-DOH-CPT … and then returning from JNB. I booked “I” fare, which allows lounge access.
1. Which lounge does QR use LAX?
2. Is there a lounge in JNB?
3. I keep getting notifications to buy an upgrade to the AS first lounge. But when I try to do that, it just spins and spins and spins and never moves forward. Is there an opportunity to buy up? And if so, what’s thought to be a reasonable fee? I have a six hour layover in Doha.

What’s the situation at BKK now? Very nice QR lounge, shame to see it wasting away closed. As of last November, QR were sending J pax to the D Miracle Lounge, shared by most airlines, though that was very early days of Thailand reopening.
