All signage is up, the entrance is ready, seems like it could commence operations any day now.

The lounge on departure is up the stairs on the left and is the Cloud 9, Ethiopian Airlines (Star Alliance) lounge. I didnt fancy food poisoning so skipped the food offerings and had a glass of water. The wifi was rubbish but they had Sky News on.

There were no queues at all in the airport on departure and there are 5 check in desks to choose from. (Apparently the reason for the T1 usage is they can only have 2 desks to utilise in the International terminal).
Thanks for this helpful information. Given that QR flies into the domestic terminal, where are passport formalities done?

The lounge in Singapore has been changed recently. No more dnata lounge. I was told they received too many complaints about it
Now QR uses the "SATS Premier Lounge" which is slightly nicer than the dnata lounge I'd say.

The lounge can be found by taking the same escalator up after the departure immigration and then heading left (instead of right for the old dnata lounge).

Isn't this is the lounge QR used in SIN before they moved to the DNATA lounge? IIRC it's a more open style, with the possibility of hearing general airport background noise, but a superior lounge IMO.

No QR lounge in OHS - No lounge(s) at all - period.

Compensated for somewhat by eager to help, smiling and friendly Omani staff and equally pleasant and friendly immigration and security staff.

passport formalities are done in the domestic terminal. Skip left if you already have a visa, straight ahead if not with your $50 to the small window for a VOA, then joining the passport queue. Not a big place so easy to navigate.

as an aside, the Ethiopian Embassy in London is not issuing Business visas at the moment indicating you should pick it up in Addis. 5 hours later in the naughty boys room I'm finally let in on a tourist visa! Far easier to get a tourist visa as long as you don't turn up in a suit!

On the Qatar app, the lounge for my next flight from Singapore (in May) still shows the Dnata Lounge. The website also only shows Dnata under the lounge search for Singapore. I'm a QR newbie - are they normally slow at updating information like this?

PER lounge

Hey guys flying out of PER tomorrow evening at 22:50 in J. On the Forum here it states QR use the Malaysian lounge, yet on the QR and Oneworld websites it states the Qantas lounge... which however already closes at 18:00 - so no help at all.

Was wondering if there is a lounge for the late PER departure, which one it is, and if it’s any good?

Thanks for your help

Didn't they close the Malaysian Lounge in Perth?
