    Good morning. I have a 9 hour layover at DOH on Friday; does QR by any chance have a free hotel policy similar to THY? Ticket code is P if that is relevant. Thank you.

    If I remember well, P fares were not eligible in the past. And if you were eligible they used to send an invitation email.

    Check the other requirements:

    Shoot them a message with your PNR and they can advise pretty quickly.

    Last time I flew with them in 2019 I had a long layover, so I went to the Al Safwa first lounge and paid the extra to use that rather than the Al Mourjan business lounge (I think around £150 for 2 of us). We got a hotel room to sleep in for about 6 hours and then drank a bottle of Krug with breakfast (it was New Years Day, so had some in).

    What time is the layover? If it’s not the usual middle of the night I’d head into Doha. Very cheap/quick in a taxi & whilst I wouldn’t recommend a holiday there, there’s plenty to fill 6 hours.

    It is, unfortunately. Landing 11.45pm, departing 9.00am

    If you are gold/One world Emerald, you can use the Business lounge (the proper one), and go and get one of their sleep rooms.

    Ah! That`s a very good plan, thank you.
