I was flying from India to US. I had to reschedule my original ticket( due to an interview). First of all I had to pay $400 extra just for rescheduling. (same class). the only ticket available was with a 22 hours layover at Doha. of-course after reading different reviews I knew I wont be receiving any hotel accommodation, but at-least expected a lounge. However after reaching there, I was only permitted to use the lounge (which was the least comfortable place one can be in the noisy airport) for the night (after 10pm). I reached Doha by 12 noon, so it was 10 hrs in the airport. I was denied lounge during the day even though the lounge was empty throughout. I was told i cant get a transit visa since I hold an Indian passport. I was sitting all through 22 hrs waiting for my flight. It was the most tedious thing to do. But hold on its not yet over. I reached US and they had lost my baggage. So there goes my interview clothes n everything the only reason why I had to pay a fortune and bear all this pain. After complaining and calling several times, my baggage finally reached home after 5 days. They said they gonna reimburse me for 3 days (even though it reached after 5 days, since they don't work on weekends). But its been 1.5 months and I haven't received anything yet. So conclusion: Never fly with Qatar if you have any other choice or no choice!
