orbitmic as someone who has used the offer thank you for proving me wrong on both counts.
I do wonder if this particular topic is really relevant since there have been no reports of the No show fee actually being levied. Until that happens then we do not know how, or even if, it will be levied. As I have said several times the conditions appear to be less strictly administered in the +Qatar scheme than QR normally do.

). I think you are right too that this seems to be a case where several rules have been implemented "sensibly" rather than "strictly" which is nice to see and is a credit to QR I think! ^

pumatwin according to https://discoverqatar.qatarairways.c...a-9418826ded9c none of the hotels you list have free airport transfers.
If a hotel offers transfers then the text "--------------FREE AIRPORT TRANSFERS----------------" appears in the hotel description.

I have a hotel stop over booked at the Westin which is great. I'm confused by the Visa requirements, from memory when I went to Qatar about 10 years ago you had to pay for Visa entry when you got there. I see the visa waiver programs, but I hold a UK passport which isn't in the list on the web form. Based on the 'Visa-Free Entry' program at https://www.qatarairways.com/en/pres...0-countri.html does that mean you simply turn up without having to get a pre-approval or anything?

Edited to read QR270 for Club - King Pool VIew not QR280 as originally published. Definitely good value.

Good to hear as i'm staying in the Souq on the way out and Westin on the way back. At the Souq, I requested a room in Al Mirqab which I seem to remember has the pool?
