Doha Hamad International Airport (DOH) — Business Class Guide

Hamad International Airport is Qatar Airways' ultramodern hub, featuring the legendary Al Mourjan Business Lounge, Qsuite departures, and free Doha city tours for transit passengers.

Hamad International Airport opened in 2014 and has rapidly become one of the world’s best-rated airports. As Qatar Airways’ exclusive hub, it offers premium travelers exceptional facilities and one of the world’s largest business class lounges.

Terminal layout for business class

Hamad operates from a single interconnected terminal, eliminating complex transfers. The crescent-shaped design means all gates are reachable within 15 minutes on foot. Business class check-in has dedicated lanes near the main entrance, and First Class passengers receive private check-in suites.

Best business class lounges

Al Mourjan Business Lounge is the centerpiece—spanning 10,000 square meters with seating for over 1,000 passengers. Facilities include multiple dining venues, a full-service restaurant, family areas, business center, game room, and quiet zones. The recently opened Al Mourjan Garden extension adds a green oasis with premium dining.

Al Safwa First Lounge serves First Class passengers and Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club Platinum members, with private suites, gourmet dining, and personalized butler service.

The Qsuite experience

Qatar Airways revolutionized business class with Qsuite—the industry’s first true suites with closing doors in business class. Many Doha departures feature this product, with double beds for couples and four-seat configurations for families or business teams. Check seat maps during booking to ensure Qsuite equipment.

Transit and layovers

Qatar Airways offers free Doha city tours for transit passengers with 5+ hour layovers, visiting the Souq Waqif, Pearl-Qatar, and Katara Cultural Village. For overnight connections, the +Qatar program provides complimentary hotel stays including 5-star properties.

Why fly business class through Doha
