Forums Other Airport lounges Doha lounge for short haul First class?

  • 1 post

    Hello everyone, long time reader here but confused about the entry requirements for the Al Swafa First Class lounge at Doha.
    We’re both BA silver, flying Oslo to Abu Dhabi basic business (P) to Doha and then First class (A) to AUH. Am I right to think we can access the Al Swafa?

    On the return, can we also access the Al Swafa having arrived on a first class service? We’re on basic business from Doha to Oslo after the first class from AUH.

    Also, I checked the BA tier point calculator and it shows 60 tier points for the A fare bucket, can I really count on that?
    Thanks on advance!

    Note you will need both boarding passes at Al Safwa on your return.

    Also, chances are the DOH-AUH flight will be from a bus gate. They have a dedicated First Class bus (complete with armchairs) from the Al Safwa lounge via a door near the sushi bar, so you can relax there with a glass of fizz until the last minute, then hop on the bus.
