Qatar Airways Lounge eligibility in DOHA

[qq830821]

I will be flying SYD to DOH in Business Class and then DOH to CAI in Economy on two separate bookings with Qatar Airways, booked with Velocity points. Am I eligible for lounge access in DOHA? the 2nd leg doesn't leave until 8am the next day

If you have any Velocity (or oneworld) status you may have access to the Platinum/Gold lounges at DOH.

There's around a dozen different lounges, including options for passengers in Business/First Class and frequent flyers with status who are travelling in Economy, or a Business Lite fare which doesn't otherwise include lounge access.

Note to self, those onward bookings ex DOH would normally be in F to a regional port such as CAI (I must question why you would want to visit in any case) and not that more expensive. You could have grabbed a decent bed at the F lounge saving you accommodation costs.

The onward flight is in economy on a seperate booking though.
Also the F lounge sleep rooms are often in very high demand so no guarantee you would get one.

Yes, for a sleep room, best to arrive more than 8 hours before boarding.

Never had a problem getting one, but that was a few years ago. And they are very nice...
