TY!
Is this new? Qatar no longer allows choosing seats or lounge access for Business class award tickets.....
I was able to do both on my flights in Dec

Booked Alaska (the expensive mile ticket, meaning award tickets that no one else offers) and books into R class which does not allow seat choice or lounge access. Doesnt tell you that rather find out afterwards

We ended up going in August without any problems. Cute story: We tried to go "undercover," but to our surprise the flight had 30+ Lubavitchers in full garb who were on their way to Almaty, Kazhakstan to daven at the kever of the Rebbe's father there on his yahrtzeit! We ended up taking over the lounge in DOH and made a minyan for maariv and they made l'chaims and learned chassidus in Yiddish!

I believe that @Something Fishy was also just there and actually left the airport for a car race and midnight dune bashing.
@Something Fishy Did you feel safe outside the airport? Esp at night out in the dessert at midnight?
I have a eve/night stopover and any suggestions of what you did and which service you used etc?
TY
