My Q-Tag enables passengers to arrive at HIA and proceed directly to the web check-in bag drop counter, where a customer service representative will process their already labelled baggage.
Currently available to 103 destinations for passengers exiting Doha, the process enables passengers to proceed quickly into the departures area where they can avail of more time to relax before boarding their flights.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar al-Baker said, “With the capacity to handle 8,700 customers per hour, HIA will provide a seamless, hassle-free experience to our passengers, from check-in to passport control and boarding. Qatar Airways passengers will be thrilled to take advantage of our new My Q-Tag service, along with the comfort and functional design of the new airport, and the exceptional shopping and dining choices it offers.”
The HIA Passenger Terminal Complex houses a total of 138 check-in counters across five islands, including 108 counters for Qatar Airways Economy passengers and all other airlines, 16 counters dedicated to Qatar Airways Business Class travellers and 14 luxury, bespoke, seated check-in counters for Qatar Airways First Class passengers. The new airport is also equipped with 34 self-check-in kiosks to further streamline the process and enable customers to print their own boarding passes.
HIA offers 40,000sqm of combined retail, food and beverage facilities, establishing the airport as a premier shopping and dining destination. With more than 70 retail outlets offering a selection of designer labels, high-street fashion, electronics, gourmet foods and much more, Qatar Duty Free at HIA caters to passengers’ every taste. In addition, more than 30 cafes and restaurants offer a selection of global and local cuisine.
The new airport is located on the coast of the peninsula and just 16km from the centre of Doha. Thanks to a sophisticated newly-built road infrastructure surrounding HIA, arrival time to the airport is around 25 minutes, depending on the traffic. Qatar Airways passengers can travel to HIA via car, bus, taxi or limo services.
