    If you have a layover over 8 hrs and your flight is qatar airways they have a free stopover package. Where they arrange a hotel room for you either at the airport or in the city.

    • @KinfolkTravels
      @KinfolkTravels  2 місяці тому +5

      We’ve tried before, you can only ask for the hotel once you land in Qatar (you can’t reserve it ahead of time). And when we asked they said all their rooms were already full :/
      It is possible, but there’s no guarantee unfortunately.

    • @shreyanaseri2124
      @shreyanaseri2124 2 місяці тому +1

      I think they have started now reserving ahead of time as you have to put a transit request on their website. And then once they evaluate you get a confirmation.

    Hi Kinfolk Travels ..i hope you guys are doing great . I ve seen your video and found it very informative..thank you..by the way subscribed already.
    I am going to have 7 hours lay over in Doha between 7am to 2 pm.
    And on the way back after a month it is 21 hour lay over. I am British citizen. I was wondering that if i am allowed to go out of the airport or do i need a visa?
    What are your suggestions regarding 21 hour stay over ??? Is there anything more for a tourist??? Looking forward to your reply..
    Thanks 🙏

      Visa:
      I think you’d need an evisa/visa on arrival. Just double check Qatars official rules. For Qatar those visas are free and takes less than 24 hours.
      Long Qatar Airways Layover:
      If you are flying with Qatar and have a 21 hour layover you are sometimes eligible for a free hotel stay. So they put you up in a hotel for free with meals and you can easily explore the city from there and rest.
      Just check with them if you qualify.
      To do:
      If it’s your first time in Qatar I’d definitely suggest doing a city tour or if you get a free hotel you can also visit these places on your own.
      Here is a video of the places we visited on our visit visit to Qatar for suggestions:
      ua-cam.com/video/lsiCJ_w6gdk/v-deo.htmlsi=e3S8VseHI_88O76I
      If you have been before or don’t feel like the city you can also do a 4x4 dune tour, camel ride and go to the beach.
      Here is a video of us doing that tour if you want to see what it is like:

    lounge access is paid unless you're in business or have status or pp, and so are the sleep pods. as you well know, so calling this all free is very misleading.

      People often receive free priority pass/lounge key/dragon pass with their bank accounts (like us).
