How great it would be if an airline actually put a swimming pool or a gym in their lounge!
I suppose DOH is at least one of the few airports on the planet with an airside gym, but it's annoying to be expected to pay for this as a cash F/J passenger.

But you've said it all right there! It's one of the few on the planet to have an airside gym! They can pretty much charge what they want. Also, I think that it's free if you have a room at the airside hotel.

I'm not suggesting they can't charge whatever they want, but I'm not sure it really makes any sense at all given the one time I used the facility I was the only one there and the reports I've seen online basically all say the same thing. Just part of the huge financial black hole / vanity project that is DOH/QR at the moment.

I suppose payment is a sensible way of controlling numbers, ensuring the facility doesn't become overcrowded, as can happen in the lounges.
However, setting the access price too high is great for the sole user, but overall a nonsense.

No doubt that its a waste of space in a tiny domestic lounge.... just to illustrate the above point(s). I also don't think we need a pool in a lounge. Although I would like to see the reaction of the lounge staff if kids were to hop into the pool in the Al-M lounge

Hi,
I'll be flying to Doha in J Class and subsequently form Doha to Amman with Royal Jordanian in J class as well. Both tickets are redeemed from miles. Just want to ask will Royal Jordanian J Class passenger (redeemed via miles) be allowed to enter AM lounge?

I've asked this question elsewhere but got no answer. When transiting Doha and staying at the Oryx hotel, are we still able to pop in and out of the lounge as we wish? This used to be OK so just checking if it's still the same? Especially as the Oryx hotel if "dry". Thanks.

Hi. We arrive Doha around 1630 and depart for MEL 2100 the following day. I'm assuming because this is over 24 hrs it makes no difference? I'm also assuming that we'll be able to throughcheck our bags and that the over 24hr gap will make no difference. The hotel is designed for airside transit and max stay is 24 hrs but that's about right for us as they probably will let us checkout maybe 1600, or 1200 if they're full I guess.

I see people complaining about the shower times but has anyone ever considered that maybe the customers are to blame for the long lines? I mean taking over 30 minutes to shower is just plain selfish in the context of a lounge facility... Perhaps QR should start implementing time limits on the shower facilities so that everyone can get an opportunity
