Qatar Airways Lounge

Since I was a ticketed Business Class passenger, I took this opportunity to use the Qatar Airways lounge which only admits First and Business Class passengers; they don't admit Economy Class passengers with status, and they don't even admit passengers who upgraded using miles.

The lounge was small-ish but very pleasant, and they offered sit down dining which is usually reserved for First Class. I knew I would get to eat for another 8 hours or so, so I had a laksa supper in the lounge before boarding.
