Pay for lounge access??
Is there a star alliance airline where you can pay to get into the lounge, like a yearly fee and then use it at singpore airlines lounges?
Singapore don't let you pay for a Qantas/red carpet club style membership.. its all on points

With QF you can pay to join the Qantas Club and the you have access to QF, AA, LAN and BA lounges is there an option like this with *A?

You can buy RCC membership. Perhaps you are getting confused with the offer for MP members to pay for it with miles instead of cash?

I just made a google search 'doha airport lounge' and tons of informations show up.
Reading some of the comments it looks like buying into any lounge is not wort it, you probably better spend your monney in a decent airport restaurant or a bar (a 4 hours layover, minus arrival and pre-departure/-boarding time doesn't look to be very long).

You can even buy Priority Pass for $99 and up I think.
p.s. If you are UA 1K then you can get membership for $350 for husband and wife.... that's not outrageous for two people.

Be aware, though, that the Oryx lounge is rather basic: small and no alcohol, although they have some passable edibles (sandwiches and the like). Still, better than the public spaces in the terminal for sure.
