No *lounge, just a generic lounge and QR's own lounges. But note even if the QR flights are BD codeshares, you don't get access as QR, the operating carrier, is not *alliance and BD's agreement with QR only stretches to awarding destination miles, no other FFP benefits.

The lounge is nice if someone can guest you in but not spectacular. I think the airport has free wifi otherwise you can pick a signal up when sitting outside the lounge.

I take it that we're taking about Doha not Doah?

There is a lounge in the main non premium terminal.
Go upstairs towards the food court and turn right. It's opposite the Costa Coffee stand.

The lounge is very stylish and a decent size. They have snacks, Internet terminals, showers and TVs.

You can access this lounge if flying premium on a number of airlines (sorry don't know which ones apart from BA) or if a Priority Pass card holder.

There are 2 other lounges which I think are for elite Qatar FF members travelling in Y.

I hope this helps.

And remember it is a dry lounge (unlike the QR Premium terminal). You can access it with a PriorityPass too.

This lounge can be accessed with pretty much anything. Priority Pass, Amex cards of almost all colours as well as being the lounge for all airlines under the stars (except for MIAT).

I haven't tried my health insurance card but I'm pretty sure I would get in as well.

*G card will not get you access. Some Amex cards will.
