We are flying Business with a 20 hour layover in DOH. We are going to go into town during the layover but we arrive at 6am so we are in no rush. We have a hotel reserved in town and are not eligible for 96 hour visa.
Should we go to the Al Mourjan Business Class Lounge, wind down, relax, eat if needed then go to town? If we do that, do we still have access to the arrivals lounge and expedited immigration?
Thanks.

mileshound the answer to all your questions is yes!
Look at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qatar...tions-doh.html and especially http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27571240-post18.html for useful hints and advice. Although the second link says 'night tour' most of it applies to you as well.
Remember that Al Mourjan is usually very crowded at that time of day.

Well, when they say something like "will completely revolutionize the whole flying industry", they mean a new seat. Thus "something big" would be equivalent to "basically nothing".

It will be my first time flying QR later in the year, would I earn avios points flying QR?
I'm a member of the BA executive club and Avios in south Africa, if I can earn avios would I insert the avios or ba Executive number in the booking?

twr to earn Avios you need to supply a membership number of an FFP within Oneworld. These will be credited to your account with that FFP (BAEC).
You can see how many Avios, TPs etc you earn on the BAEC website using the Avios flight calculator https://www.britishairways.com/trave...r/public/en_dk.

https://www.britishairways.com/en-dk..._club_currency states quite clearly that 'Avios is the reward currency of the Club'.
Avios is a currency not an FFP and thus has no place on your reservation.
I have no idea as to what this Avios number is but it has no place in your reservation.

By a mishap I ended up with duplicate privilege accounts. According to this (http://support.qatarairways.com/hc/e...ship-accounts-) accounts can and should be merged.
Does anyone have experience of this?
Do I get to choose which account lives on? My older account has a few orphaned miles, while the newer one has status and more miles. If there is any risk they merge into the old one, then I just will accept ignoring the old one and lose those few miles.

I had a seat selected (19K) right up until check in opened. As soon as check in opened (72hrs before departure) I proceeded to check in online. My seat had now been moved to 25A and 19K was not available. I see on expertflyer that 19K (and 19J) have been blocked.
Its no big loss to me, but I am just wondering if anyone knows why this might take place? I'm guessing there was nothing I could've done about it!

Taking a guess I think you are on a LATAM 1350 MUC-DOH. These aircraft are very new to the route having been leased from LATAM and the standard blocking of bulkhead/Bassinet seats was not made from the start. Thus you were able to reserve them until QR discovered the mistake and moved you to a different seat. But if ou are very near the front of the queue when check-in opens you may still be able to get your original seat if they are not being used as bassinet seats. (Remember the airport check-in can override your OLCI.)
Other reasons could be the seat is broken or that the seats are required for VIPs, etc.
