I flew Qatar once — business class Dubai to Delhi via Doha as my original flight to Delhi was cancelled. Once the plane landed, taxied, and stopped, curtains were draw to separate first, business, and coach. Almost immediately a small shuttle arrived to whisk off the first class. Not long after a regular shuttle came to get us business class passengers. We were taken to a lounge that was a separate building not connected to any gates. Plenty of free delicious food and drinks. The various pistachio treats filled me up. The downside for me was that my time in the lounge building was but 2 hours around 2am to 4am. Overall, an extremely nice travel experience, and but a bit expensive at $500 for a last minute ticket around 2007.
