Thanks for mentioning Harrods!
Thank you for sharing :))
I really appreciate the video you made. It's timely and helpful. I'm just wondering is it easy to transit in Doha? I mean are there signs everywhere? I usually get lost and have no sense of direction.
Hi, thank you for watching. Yes, it's like any other airport. There are signs all over the place. There were no issues relating to covid delays, everything operating as normal. It happens to be very large, so give yourself plenty of time for transfers. Safe travels.
Wow traveling during this difficult time must have been incredibly stressful. I hope it was worth it ❤️
Stressful only for you, the terrified sheeple. Life is very different out of the Tv.
I'm curious about the transfer process. If you have a moment, did you have to go through security or customs as part of your transfer, or was it straight from one gate to another?
Hi, yes it was all straight forward from one gate to another. As I was flying with the one airline. But it was a very long walk from one side to the other. Don't underestimate the time between transfers.
How intense is the security screening? Do they have K9 dogs? I'm terrified when I see big dogs
Hi ! Nice video , would you know how far the shower rooms are from the transfer/departing gates ? I have a 2 hour wait but than again I don’t want to miss my flight lol
Hi, thanks for watching. Here is a link to the airport Website and it's map layout. Hope it helps. dohahamadairport.com/airport-guide/at-the-airport/maps
Thanks for the video. Good work. Next time slow down your panning, but helpful video nevertheless.
Is it possible to make a connecting flight in 1 hour 40 minutes at Doha? I am taking a trip in August and my return flight has a 1 hour 40 minute layover connection in Doha.
Hi, as long as you know that boarding time is 1 hour before departure indicated on flight ticket. You'll have less than 40 mins to figure out where you are and hope that your connection isn't on the other side of the airport. You will need to move very quickly. Safe travels
Hello! If you don’t mind I was just wondering If the Australian government said on the exemption form “closed-exempt” does that mean I am allowed to leave? Also if it is accepted how would I show it at the airport, would I have to print it out?
Hi, yes it means you are clear to go. You should of also received an email to confirm this. Print it out and take it with you to the airport. This will save time as security will ask questions everywhere. They will also be making calls to home affairs to double check. Safe travels
@@TravelKnowHau thank you so much!
Hi! Thank you for sharing this! I am thinking to get tickets and have connection stop at Doha. The time between the two flights is just 1 hour and 15 minutes though. In your experience, with Covid and security check time, and possibility for delays, is it possible to still make it in such a short period of time?
Hi, I hope that you are aware that boarding time is generally 1 hour before the flight time shown on the ticket? It's not advisable to have such a short layover. The flight taking you to Doha might be good and bring you there on time. But some flights could also be a little late depending on weather conditions on the day. Also the airport is extremely large. You'll need to run from one side to the other depending on your arrival and departure gates. All the best and safe travels.
@@TravelKnowHau I appreciate your help! Thank you :)
Does it need to be vaccine if you stay in the doha airport to wait your next flight?
Thank you for sharing! I will be traveling to Tanzania in June and looks like Doha will be my transfer airport. Seems to be my only choice. My layover time is going to be around 5-9 hours depending on my flight. As you were working your way through the airport, did you notice if they have places to sleep? Like a lounge? Or notice other travelers sleeping?
Yes. Doha seemed to be in operation as normal. Plenty of people were just sitting around. Just check up on their website for any new rules for social distance or permitted length of stay at the terminal. Keep us posted on how things go. Safe travels.
@@TravelKnowHau Great to know. Thank you very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Joey stay safe in TZ....🙏🏾
Does they require to be vaccine first staying in their airport to wait your next flight?
Hi did you claim your baggage during transit and check in again?
No. Everything was set for the final destination. You need to check with your airline if they do things differently or are using multiple airlines.
How long was your layover? I have an upcoming flight. Not sure if a 1h 55min layover is enough for me to make the transfer? What do you think?
Hi, I had 2 and a half hours for the connection. It was just enough to be a quick change. You will need get around fast, depending where your arriving and departing gates are located. Also remember the longer you are out and about the more chance you could get the virus from other travellers.
Hi Rachelle! I have a flight with 1h15 min layover! Wanted to ask about your experience and if that was enough time for you between flights?
Hi, I notice that you have all the same model face shield. Did the airline provide you with one?
Hi, yes they did. Its a very flimsy one. If you are concerned. You should supply your own. At the end of the day its your health.
@@TravelKnowHau Thank you for your reply.
Hi. I would like to ask if the airport is asking for any requirement (like swab) if you are only for layover in Doha Qatar Airport? The layover will be only 3 hrs. Thank you. 😊
Hi, if you are from Australia, no you are not required for any transit. But you are still asked to fill out a contact tracking form on board.
Thank you ☺️
Hi, I will be travelling from Hyderabad, Ind. Can I transit in Qatar for an onward flight to Toronto? Or do I need any transit VISA? I am an Indian CItizen and Canadian PR Card, Holder. First flight is operated by Qatar Airways and onward connecting flight is operated by Air Canada. Please reply, thank you
Hi, you need to call up the airline to get the up to date information regarding your flight. Also you need to check government website for every country you are going to or transit through. Rules are changing every day so check regularly. Make sure you meet all requirements as you may get into a lot of trouble if you do not follow them.
Hey, I was wanting to ask you a few questions if you don't mind! would you be able to step me through how you got the travel ban exemption to leave asutralia? what documents did you add? What reason did you provide? are you an australian citizen?? where are you headed to? Also- is DOHA (Qatar) a flight path that doesn't require any Quarantine?? AND any other tips you have for travel ban exemptions and flight paths :)) thank you !!!
Hi thanks for watching. First off, yes. I am an Australian citizen. I applied for an exemption via Australian Government Department of Home Affairs website. As long as you fill out all the necessary information and can show that you are going for longer than 3 months. Also have the ability to pay for yourself including quarantine on returning. Remember you can reapply as many times as you like. If you get no. It just means you are lacking some documents. I'm heading to Europe. You'll need to check which countries will allow folks to transit via Doha. As Germany at the time still required folks to self isolat for 14 days. Once in Europe you'll need to check which countries you can go from there as Every week the rules changes on which one will allow others to come and go. With or without further quarantine. Many European countries are currently going through another covid outbreak. The UK government website list some up to date safe travel corridors countries. In saying that you'll need to check each government's website for for its own rules. Good luck and safe travel.
@@TravelKnowHau OK cool as, what documentation did you use to prove you were going for more than 3 months??
Thanks for the info!
@@annaliesemillar7434 just make a statement in the reason section as to why you are wanting exemption, that you are going for longer than 3 months. Any overseas family to live with? Just set up your account with Australian Government. Start filling in the forms. Its not as hard as they make it out to be.
Hey bro, I going to travel on 30 March and I will travelling form India to Doha I have layover of 2h 35m and self transfer at doha. After the layover I have to take air arabia from Doha to Istanbul.
My question is about the layover and self transfer at Doha airport, Do I need a any visa to go Doha?
Hi, if you are just transiting through you don't need any visa for Doha.
Thanks for sharing your travel experience added now. Stay safe.
Bro, I am flying from Barbados to London, then London to Doha, next Doha to India( I am indian). Without transit visa can i make Doha to India connecting flights?
That's a lot of jumping through countries. It's best to call the airlines to check if they are OK with transit. Every country has new rules changing every week. You'll have to work out each one. Some might not even allow you to enter. The UK currently have very strict rules and quarantine restrictions. Being vaccinated against covid might make things easier too. Safe travels
How is the situation inside the Doha airport
They are a major transit hub. Given that there are only few airlines operating with a lot of countries restricting tourists so a lot of airlines are not even flying. Business is as usual read their website for up to date info regarding Covid safety.
Did you have to be tested again at Hamad airport ?
I was transiting through and didn't need to. But rules might have changed. You will need to visit the airport website or the airline company to get more up to date information.
@@TravelKnowHauthank you for the info!
Hi, thanks for sharing this informative video. I have 3 hour layover flight to Qatar next week. My final destination is Erbil, Iraq. Does my Covid test result must be within 72 hours before arriving to Qatar airport? Is that a mandatory requirement by Qatar government? My flight is taking over 30 hours from Canada and I am afraid that my test result will pass 72 hours when I arrive to Qatar!
Hi, its best that you call Qatar and check with them. Rules for every country change too often. The airline will have more up to date information. Also read up on government website and the airport requirements that you'll be visiting. Safe travels
@@TravelKnowHau thanks a lot for your advise. Best
Do ( airport employees} they ask for bribes at the DOHA airport?
No. That is the first time I've heard of it. Things went smoothly for my transfer.
You're brave to be travelling through the Covid 19 pandemic. I wouldn't lol. Hope you don't catch Covid on your travels. Kate
Thank you. 😁 We take chances in life every time we leave the home or go for a drive, crossing the road. Its a calculated risk that don't fall into any of the health concern categories. I'm healthy and if I do get covid, I'll be able to get through it. 🤞❤
If you are trying to travel round Europe, I'd give the UK a miss as you cannot travel between the different countries of the UK. Inter UK travel is banned and everyone is on lockdown. Other countries in Europe pay less attention to strict rules and they aren't inforced as much.
I have travelled thrice already no issues. Going 4th time now through doha. Have experienced Abu Dhabi Istanbul airports during pandemic. This doha looks lit compared those 2 dead ones
Hau they are not take you quartine ?
Hi, at the time of travelling for me. Australians didn't need to. But you need to check the country that you are travelling to. As every government has their own rules. The Rules change every week.
@@TravelKnowHau thank you my dear thank you
i want to claim my luggage if i have connecting flights in qatar airways but different aircrafts?
my flights from saudi arabia to dubai but i have 1 stop in qatar for connection . connection time i have 1hour 25minutes.
plz advise me much appreciated
Hi, I'm sorry but if you are not travelling with the same company and also need to claim your luggage and re-do the luggage check-in process. You will not have enough time. You need at least 3 hours. Let me know how things work out. Safe travels.
@@TravelKnowHau saudi to doha qatar Airways and doha to dubai qatar Airways but different flights still i want to claim my luggage in doha?
@@asikparadaiss618 Hi, If you are travelling with the same airline company, your luggage will be taken to the final destination and there is no need for you to collect during transit. If you need more information please give the airline company a call as they can help you with any flight information
How much time you required for transfer the flight at doha Airport
Hi, I had 2 and a half hours for the connection. It was just enough to be a quick change. You might need a little more if you can't get around fast. Also remember the longer you are out and about the more chance you could get the virus from other travellers.
@@TravelKnowHau thank you so much for your kind information
@@TravelKnowHau 1hour and 10 mins i got since they changed the flight time. Would it be enough?
@@lightstorm10z that is cutting it very close. Personally I wouldn't book transfer that close. If the flight into Doha is delayed you'll end up missing on the transfer. They always want you to be ready for boarding 1 hour before flight scheduled.
@@TravelKnowHau It was 2h when i bookes the flight but then they changed the flight time so its total of 70 minutes and i cant change the flight because i have already booked and planned my entire trip. Anyway, we will see. Thanks.
Bro
Haha never been on a plane but i’ve heard it’s horrible
First... jkjkjk
Long flights usually are. You just have to hope that you get a good seat position and try to dress comfortably
Travel Know Hau i’ll keep that in mind for future
