  • Qatar Airways has a first class lounge at Doha airport that will blow your mind. I flew from Perth to Brussels for the 2022 Belgian GP and decided to upgrade my lounge access and I was taken by the sheer scale of this exclusive lounge.

    Great tips Kym! I have a flight booked with Qatar Business in Q-Suites later this year with my wife and 8-month old son. We have a 7.5hr layover in Doha and were planning to use the Qatar business lounge but you've 100% sold me on the upgrade to the first class lounge based on your review. Thanks so much for sharing.

    Al Safwa lounge is my best lounge ever. Usually when I travael in the middle east I travel with Qatar Airways just to access the lounge and feel that luxurious space around me. For that reason let me give you a tip. If you are travelling anywhere in the middle east (Ex : Abu Dhabi) and you choose to go through Doha in business class. Your second flight from Doha to your destination anywhere in the ME will be in first class as no business class available from Doha in the ME region. hence you will be able to access the lounge without paying any extra money 😁

    Kim, I’m with you on Qatar Airlines - my favourite so far. The airport in Doha is great but the names of the lounges are really ambiguous. The business lounge is not the business class lounge. My favourite lounge is the Virgin lounge in Heathrow - all the things you need. The Qatar lounge at Heathrow is small but fab.

    Only the rich travel much in the Middle East. In the USA anyone can travel anytime and most who do can afford the relatively cheap airfare. So there isn’t much profit to pay for such lavish lounges. Those who are as rich as the traveling Middle Easterners fly private and bypass most of the commercial airport facilities. So traveling commercial you’ll never see the super rich amenities.

    The thing is that q-suites business product is arguably a much better all round product than most of Qatars first class offering. So it makes no sense to pay the extra for first, other than for the lounge. Strangely Qatar don't prepare any food in the lounge, as all catering is done off site.
