Some weeks ago a new "business and first class lounge" was open. All Qatar gold+platin membery in Y are then send to this lounges. Before opening they were send to Al Mourjan, but this was only a temporary thing. This two new lounges or maybe you call them old are under maintenance. Did not ask how long.

QR DID say that the Al Mourjan access for folks like me was just temporary. I was aware of it. Others apparently did not listen or ignored the QR comments until they were denied access to Al Mourjan, and then they complained. uhhh??
I am not commenting on QR's communication, just stating the obvious, based on my experience and awareness.

The refurbished business class lounge is open. As a OW S travelling in QR Y I get to this lounge. The Al Mourjan access for folks like me was just temporary. This has been covered ad-nauseum in other threads.

BUT, the Op in post 44 said, that once again, he was sent to Al Mourjan (as a Y flying, QR Gold).
He/she said that they were turned away from the from the correctly designated lounge - it was Closed for maintenance.
The question is, what does closed for maintenance mean. A plumbing problem and closed for 1 day, a paint job and closed for a week, or a re-design and closed for a year.

I think everybody know now that access to Al Mourjan for Y and OWE OWS was only temporary.

Any recent experiences with regards to Al Murjan access for status passengers traveling in Y? Is the regular Business Class lounge still undergoing maintenance (and temporary access to Al Murjan therefore granted)?
Thanks
Thanks

Those holding OneWorld status, and travelling in Y, have the choice of the HIA First Class lounge (OWE Emerald) or the HIA Business Class lounge (OWE Sapphire).

Can I access the HIA Business Class lounge using my MH Gold card (OWS)? My boarding pass won't have it as I'm earning with QR for my upcoming flight in Y. Or do they need my MH details on my boarding pass as well?
