I'll be in Doha in 85 1/2 hours

The Father in law of Rod Blagojevich had the other 98%. I didn't know they were still around anywhere. I never liked them because people would play the worst songs on them and everyone had to listen. Like Mac Davis, or Linda Ronstadt

After listening to the best jukebox in the world, obviously because we are in the forefront of world music, I am here to answer your questions; without any BS involved.

Note to self: Don't ever listen to Azalia

/-a-t-/Manna Pro - I'm sure there would be a guy at the ARRIVAL area ...

holding a paper with your name on it...and bring you to your hotel/accommodation. If none, take Mandi's advise.

Also, you need to have some Qatari currencies to pay for taxi fares or you know the conversion: Q3.65:$1.00

You need to get your groceries as all fastfood and restaurants are open after 6:30PM...RAMADAN

No bars or clubs open...so buy your alcoholic drink at DUTY FREE

we are in the middle of Ramadan...and your advise to buy alcohol from duty free....Manapro will be on the next outbound flight to U.S.of god knows where....

hubby prefers KLM or QA....but I'm more partial to QA :P

Agree with Mandi, Once you get your RP Stamped, better get your e-gate pass....

Postpone your flight a little, they are building a new airport for your arrival where the baggage can be claimed, signs are in English, standard clocks are used, sun shines brightly, birds chirp melodiously and a cool gentle breeze blows through your hair.. (Ok scratch the breeze part for you), a heavenly place! Let it finish and then come.

FlyingAce, true. But MP, if you are in FC then you will arrive in a little bus all by yourself. Then at least you will be ahead of your own plane's queue. As soon as you can, get an e-gate card, no queue!

Mandi

Azi, if you want to Travel to Edinburgh then Why to Travel through QR, better travel through BA & onwards a Connecting flight through BA or BMI.... BTW you can't buy alcohol from Arrivals Duty Free at DIA....

flying time maybe

85 1/2 hours????????????????????

good one :)

This ones about my arrival in Qatar

I really appreciate all the help here..I feel alot better about it now. It sounds just like a normal international Airport.

Of course- Does it look big in my avatar?

Manna Pro - you sure your head would fit in any aircrafts' doors?

so I think I'll be fine :)

well if an English lady cant giggle at her own " stiff upper lipped English homies " who the dickens can! :-) muhahahhahahaaa

good to see you back on QL :)

YAZLEB ! That's terrible :):)

ROFL :)

Manna Pro... you wont have to do anything until you come out of the airport. (cattle dogs will be there)

as you come out of the terminal look at your right, you will find cabs waiting in a Que, just go to the first cab in the Que and tell them your address, they will drop you to your place.

for any further help, you can call Khanan anytime :P

No problem

or stay a couple of days to visit my cousins and some friends there.

But I will ask you (by PM) before I make the schedules...hope you don't mind :)

will be there to welcome you :)

and offcourse me :)

Have a safe flight!

It will be exciting to see you in real :)

If you fly Qatar Airways you land at terminal 4 which is very small. Depends, are you staying the night or catching an immediate connecting flight?

in the next couple of months to meet hubby's sister and family.

From what I've heard, Heathrow is a maze :)

I have been slurred to the very core of my being! I demand a duel! Fresh Hallibut is my weapon of choice............see you at Dawn! ( cause Dawn's pretty cute)

DEN-IAD-DXB-DOH

First class of course, i'll be in a pod from IAD-DXB

A private little pod

adey

Was flying Boston to Heathrow. Why can you not stop over at Heathrow?

Qatar isn't the desert city you think it is.

- land and get into the bus thats gona take you to the arrivals dept.

- que for atleast 30-45mins until you reach the counter. Present your passport and pay for a visa on arrival with your credit card.

- follow the signs to the baggage area. Spot the line which shows your flight number on it and wait for your bags to come. Grab a cart in the mean while...usually takes sometime.

- Walk out towards the exit. You might have to scan your baggage one last time through customs.

- walk out to the meeting point. You will see lines of hotel kiosk on your right. There is a qtel kiosk on the other side of the glass wall. Go there with your passport and apply for a pre-paid sim card.

- Walk out the exit and grab a taxi...avoid the private taxi guys that are going to hustle you for a ride. Be prepared to pay QR 50-100. Make sure you take some Qatar currency from the US before you come here.

It's a breeze man!

I believe you will love it here..except for the occasional sand and dust storms..

was that the airport you got quizzed? :)

A Limey's gotta Lime, a Yank's gotta Yank, and a Qatari's gotta meow

I just spent 3 months in the most humid jungle on the equator, and I have a Condo in Las Vegas, so I know about oppresive heat- I actually like it. My x wife has Lupus though and she can't tolerate it, hopefully that in itself will keeping from getting on a plane and crashing my party there.

Point taken

I apologize

In a big American city

Its dog eat dog

Every man for himself

Sink or swim on your own

You wont have Bobby's there to hold your hand and keep you safe

Have a safe flight

I'm off to the pub............with a bobby in tow holding my hand in case I get scared.

Goodluck! on you arrival to Doha Manna Pro,don't worry the airport is very well organized and not crowded,you will not have difficulty of finding where to go...if nobody will pick you up,there's a lot of taxi to take you to your hotel/apartment.. just expect the scorching temperatures of Doha specially if you will arrive here in daylight time..

Brixton is candy compared to the south side of Chicago..You wouldnt last 5 minutes there

Especially if you opened your mouth and that effeminate accent came out-

The same size as you're biggest city........New York. I think I'd cope.

Never gonna happen!

:-)

I tried flying out of Boston once, to London, with my British passport......only to be quizzed about why I was going there!

Ex-Marine guard then saw Arabic stamps in my passport but didn't have a clue where in the world these counties were.

JFK would be a breeze

I will be there to welcome you.

Do you think you coould be serious for a second? I'd love to see you get off a plane at JFK walkin around like a lost puppy.

Try to understand-This is all new to me

I'm printing that up- Seriously

You are so wonderful, thank you

Ha ha. The airport is pretty small and all the signs are in English. You will be picked up by a passenger bus at the aircraft and taken to arrivals/immigration. Present your documents and if you don't have a visa, pay (credit card) for a tourist visa. Walk forward a few steps into baggage claim and grab a guy in a grey suit, he's a porter. Pay 15 QR (there's an ATM in the arrivals hall) and he will pick up all your bags and take them through customs/security. Walk a few more steps and you are in the meet and greet hall. Your porter can take your bags right to a taxi if you are not being met. Your taxi should cost around 50-80 QR. First thing you will go to Carrefour or Lulu and buy a phone and a SIM card (take your passport) if your employer doesn't provide one. The clocks are all standard but Doha is NOT on Daylight Savings Time - you WANT that sun to set early!

Mandi

Should I get one right away?

Mega Mart?
