Thanks, tallg, I called the number and was given another number (462-2105) and he told me the E-gate pass office is behind QIB in Departures and is open from 6 am til 6 pm. Glad I didn't wait until before my BA flight at midnight! I plan to get a three year pass for 350 QR. The idea sounds like a wonderful way to make the whole airport experience better.
