Spending Avios for lounge access

Hi,
I just got a notice that my Avios balance will expire in December 2024. I am flying business class on a LITE fare in May. I am a silver member. If I spend my Avios to buy lounge passes, which lounge at DOH will I be able to enter?

I think the highest lounge you could buy into with cash on a (P) fare would be Al Mourjan. I'm not sure if you can use avios to buy lounge access though (others may have direct experience).

Just as an alternative possibility, you only need one transaction (spend or earn) to go through your QRPC account before December to extend all of your avios for 3 years. So if you credit your upcoming flight to QR your avios will be automatically extended. Alternatives could include flying on or redeeming a partner flight, buying something through one of the shopping partners (including many hotel chains), or buying the minimum number of avios.
