Once the outstation QR lounges reopen will R class ticket holders be able to pay a fee for access? I assume this would be the case as you can pay at DOH.
Anyone have any info and an idea of pricing?
Thanks in advance.

If I'm not wrong the QR Lounge in Beirut is open at this point but we haven't heard about any paid entrance to that lounge.

Hi all, does anyone know whether the R fares include fast track security/immigration lanes in London Heathrow?
Any info on whether fast track security/immigration is offered for R fare customers in Doha (when transiting to connecting flight), Sri Lanka or Jakarta too would also be much appreciated!

In DOH, one agent stands in front of the priority lane and glimpses at boarding passes, if that agent sees the gray or red template on top ( respectively for J and F boarding passes ), that agent lets that person in. If the passenger has the Y stock, he checks the FFP details on the boarding pass.

Plus, during the pandemic, pax from some origins only have to go through temperature screening!

It's true that during the pandemic, the regular lane is much quicker compared to the priority lane as minimum 10 regular lanes are open even during off-peak hours.

Any updates? I'm kind of secretly holding out hope that QR will realize the new system doesn't increase their revenue and re-allow Al Mourjan lounge access to those on R fares.

With the Al Mourjan Lounge at capacity at peak hours with restricted access, I think that QR succeeded with the new system. At least for the pandemic-era travel.

Note that the closure of the OW facilities and Safwa have fed into demand for Mourjan.

So far during the pandemic is has not been a capacity problem to combine it all into AM, even during Xmas and New Year peak it was not too much for AM. I will see the summer peak shortly. But once it gets too much they can quickly add the F and J lounges back in to the capacity
