nisakiman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know if there are better maps of the new terminal than the ones provided on the airport website? The maps of the departure area show only the central shopping hub and one of the departure areas. A map of the whole floor would be useful for orientation. Just as an afterthought, has anyone been through there yet? Any sage advice, tips, criticisms? Edited July 17, 2014 by nisakiman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been through yet, but I've read that the businessclass lounges are still not ready and will take another 3 months or so. Yermanee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously considered buying us business class tickets this time (as I get older, comfort becomes more important!), but in the end I couldn't justify the extra €3000 for a bit more comfort. So it's cattle class for us. But I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's transited Hamad, and what their impressions were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few short vids available that might give you a first impression. Yermanee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some airports do, and they're really handy when you've got a long walk with hand baggage, laptop, maybe duty free etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
