Nice! Hoping to fly TLV-AMM-DOH-IAD this year, did you have access to the F lounge in DOH?

No, only the J (Al Mourjan) lounge since we were flying in Qsuites.

Yes, RJ
I'm pretty sure the DOH-AMM leg is marketed as "F" on QR and will have access to the F lounge if you book J.

We didn't fly DOH-AMM, we flew AMM-DOH. It could be if you're flying DOH-AMM on QR metal, it may be ticked in F.

Total miles burned of various currencies (airline only)- 733,384
Hotel points- 695,745 (which doesn't really make any sense because some were SPG and some Marriott but lets just go with it).

Notable Premium:
JFK-TLV on DL J
FCO-JFK on DL J

No, but all you have to do is ask.

It was booked as JFK-TLV//FCO-JFK. Came out to 140k MR ea with 50% rebate on BP.
Then booked TLV-FCO(-ATH) as a HC on AZ in fake J (blocked middle seat) for around 20k ea also with MR BP.
Took a while to figure that one out.

Took my son for his Bar Mitzvah. Amazing trip.


no .blogspot for you?
Nope. I was a latecomer.
