Travel Tips for a Smooth Journey:

1. Early Check-In:

• Save time by checking in online and arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your flight. Check with your airline for online check-in options to streamline your journey.
• Qatar Airways offers early check-in for economy passengers from 12 to 4 hours before departure, until April 5, 23:59H, excluding US and Canada flights. QR Passengers using early check-in get a 10% discount at Qatar Duty Free stores.

2. Self-Service Facilities:

• Self-Check-In & Bag-Drop: Utilize our self-service kiosks to check-in, print boarding passes, and tag your bags. Drop them off at the bag-drop counters before proceeding to border control.
• E-Gates: Citizens and residents above the age of 18 can expedite the immigration process using e-gates (restrictions apply). Minimum height to use the E-Gates is 130cm.

3.  Baggage Guidelines:

• Passengers are reminded that baggage allowances and weight restrictions will be strictly enforced by airlines. Check with your airline for specific guidelines. Non-standard or oversized luggage is discouraged. A baggage repack area is available in the departure hall with luggage weighing machines to assist passengers.

4. Parking:

• Use the dedicated parking facilities for quick drop-offs, pick-ups, and short stays. Avoid leaving vehicles unattended at the curbside.
• Enjoy special discounted rates for long stays in our car park (using the pre-book option only), ensuring proximity to the terminal.
• Car rental and limousine services are all located close to the arrival hall.
• Valet Parking: For the ultimate convenience, drop off your vehicle with our valet service available at Departures.

5. Security Checks:
