"Premium Transfer Terminal"
Checked in online for our DXB-DOH-EDI flights and the Boarding Pass has "Premium Transfer Terminal" inside a Burgundy colured box and also has "Burgundy" printed on it. I've searched and the only reference to "Premium Transfer Terminal" I can find seems to apply to the old airport. Am I missing something?
We arrive at 19:50 tonight and depart at 07:30 tomorrow and have booked a room at the Transit Hotel. I assume we will be able to use the Al Mourjan Lounge tonight to get something to eat? We plan on going straight from the hotel to gate in the morning.

Yes, old information, you will transfer through the new airport and if have access to the Al Mourn can use it as you wish.
As you have booked the airport hotel you may use either.

Gaza typical QR! Since it neither flies nor glorifies ABB it is ignored. This is a remainder from the old airport which closed 21 months ago. What it means today is that you have access to one of the two premium class lounges Al Mourjan and Al Safwa.
QR colour coded boarding passes and cabin baggage tags both in the old as well as the new airport to ease identification. This was essential at the old airport where arrivals, premium transfers, other transfers and satellite transfers were separate buildings. And separate stops on the bus from the aircraft.

Thanks both. I had a strong suspicion it was a legacy from the old airport. It seems bizarre that they haven't updated their IT systems. 😦😦
Will we have access to the Al Safwa Lounge as we are in Economy on the DXB-DOH leg and Business Class on DOH-LHR?

Gaza you will NOT have access to Al Safwa because you do not hold a First class BP departing DOH. You will however have access to Al Mourjan using your J boarding passes departing DOH.
It is not just IT that has not updated things. It is said that the signs on the lounges in the yet to be opened North node say Silver, Gold, Business and First. which were the pre OW names.

What about arriving F pax who are departing in J...do they have access to F lounge? I am a oneworld Emerald so am hoping so as I would like to use the sleeping rooms. My transfer on a paid J ticket is 7 hours and 25 minutes, just under the free hotel room cutoff, but still want to have a place to sleep quietly.
"Note: Al Safwa First Lounge is only available to First Class ticketed customers on Qatar Airways and other oneworld member flights."

If I recall correctly, you can access Al Safwa only if your previous F ticket was for a flight of over 5 hrs (BKK,CDG,LHR...)

As the main subject of this thread was regarding the old QR Terminals, I think it best to Close this thread.
A significant amount of information can be found in the QR Dashboard.
