10pm to 3:45am is that awkward window where you’re tired but not really sleeping properly anyway.
Personally, I’d only pay for the lounge if you actually plan to eat, shower, and sit somewhere quiet for a few hours. If you just want to knock out, a sleeping pod might make more sense. But yeah, they’re not cheap.
Doha airport is pretty nice and comfortable overall. If you can handle finding a quieter corner and maybe bringing a neck pillow, you might not need to pay at all.
If it were me, I’d ask myself: do I realistically sleep well in pods? If not, I’d probably save the money and just tough it out in the terminal.
Anyone done this exact time window and felt the lounge was worth it?
