Taken, cheers.

Hi, Apologies for the late notice, but I'm hoping someone could benefit from this before it expires. One Qantas General Complimentary Lounge Invitation available, expiring this Saturday, 24 February 2024. One invitation is required per person for entry into the lounge, and must be linked at...

Just FYI, I ended up going into the city. I walked along Al Corniche, took some photos and then went to the Souq. It was still bustling although it was close to 10 PM, so I walked around a bit, took some photos and then sat down to bring my temperature down. It was still low forties at that...

I believe there's enough stuff to do during the day. The tricky bit is trying to fit something in at night, I think.

I wouldn't be able to go on the tour as I don't arrive until 19:40 + immigration = no way. I'm hoping I could still get a taxi to the city, go for a stroll, have a drink at a bar with a nice view and head back. I can't imagine a lot would be open between let's say 8 PM and midnight, but I'm...

That's an interesting idea. As far as I know, one needs to go through the official Tourism of Qatar webpage, so I'm not sure if it would work. But some could possibly work if I can also find them on booking websites. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Thanks! I'll look into it.

Thanks, Happy Trail. Another thing I need to note is that I don't hold an Australian passport, so I wouldn't be eligible for VOA. That's why I'm thinking if it's either worth paying for the visa and the hotel (that I won't stay in). I guess this tour would be worthwhile the visit, and there's...

Thanks for that, con+insult=consult. I've been to DXB and I probably wouldn't go there again unless it's convenient. I'll be flying QR and only have Silver on QF.

Hi, I've got about six hours in Doha during a layover next month and I was looking at my options. I haven't been there before so I was keen to go out into the city, even for just a bit, but in the visa application, they insist on booking a hotel. Given that I wouldn't even stay in the hotel, I...

I received my replacement card on Monday (after 16 days). It was supposed to go to a branch here in Perth, where I was to pick it up. Do I have to say that it arrived to my office? I'm just glad it's finally here, given that a lot of other people are still trying to get theirs. Good luck!

All right. I saw somewhere that it was min. 8 hours so I didn't even check that option. Thanks, There'sOnlyOneJimmy!

Is it possible to get a visa only for a quick visit to the city? I've got a six-hour overlay so I'd rather catch a cab and go for a stroll in the city than sit around the airport. As far as I understand, a hotel booking is requested during the visa application so I'm not sure if it's possible to...

I was informed by Bankwest that my card needs to be cancelled as it's been 11 days since the email, and they fear it was lost in the post or someone's taken it (I'm away often). With my luck, the cancelled card will be in the mail tomorrow. <rolleyes> Also, although my postal address is my...

Oh, man. Sigh.

A month is just unacceptable. I rang them up and got a confirmation that it was mailed out on 04 May. I can't imagine anything taking that long to get across Australia.

I thought that having an Australian credit card is going to make this simpler.

Still waiting after 9 days.

Mine was sent out on the same day. Given that I live in Perth, I'll probably receive it at the end of next week. Unless it arrives on Monday or Tuesday when I'm out bush. :-|

When did you get the email stating it was sent out?
