Hi guys,

My cousin wants to know if Al Sawfa will also charge children as well as toddlers who are ten and two for the AS entry.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, Al Safwa is closed until further notice.
However, the Al Mourjan Lounge is open.

When they do reopen, what was the policy regarding people traveling on international J tickets? Could you still pay to get in and have access to the bedrooms? I have an 8.5 hour layover next year on the way to LAX and wouldn’t mind sleeping there.

So I had wondered how strictly “time limits” are enforced if they even exist.

So I asked different QR staff today “Can I pay for Al Safwa access once it reopens (best case scenario is end of June) when I book an R (classic) fare?”
And one staff member stood up from behind her desk to solemnly state “yes”.
