The new terminal is quite modern, but IMHO, probably slightly bigger than Penang International Airport. Check out their website for a list of the airport facilities. http://www.dohaairport.com Enjoy your flight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I oredi tried both www.dohaairport.com and www.qatarairways.com since morning, but got errors! That's why I asked here. Anyway my travel agent just told me I should get free lodging courtesy of QR during the long lay-over. This is my first trip to the Gulf States and I found something interesting. Their flights are pricey for one. QR quoted economy at more than MYR6,000 for KUL-KWI-KUL via DOH! Luckily MH had a sale so I grabbed KUL-DXB-KUL promo ticket, and used EK/QR for DXB-KWI-DXB. All in about MYR5,000. Still pricey in my book. The funny thing is that with QR I bought a transit fare via DOH, i.e. I must stay in transit area and not enter the country. For the privilege of entering the country, I have to buy a more expensive ticket, about MYR800 more! Other countries probably subsidize you to do a stopover and play tourist, and yet the Qataris want you to pay more for a stopover in their own country. Funny! .naim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
