Hamad International Airport (HIA) is ready to welcome travelers returning from the winter holidays with enhanced services designed to make arrivals faster and stress-free.
To save time at passport control, passengers can use the e-gates, available to eligible travelers including families with children taller than 130 cm. This is the quickest way to get through arrival procedures during busy hours.
Baggage claim has also been made easier. Numbered carousels clearly display where to pick up luggage, while oversized items like strollers or wheelchairs are handled on dedicated belts. Travelers are advised to check their baggage tags and use the baggage services desk if help is needed.
To avoid congestion outside the terminal, HIA encourages passengers to use the airport’s parking facilities.
Getting from the airport to your destination is easy with multiple transport options:
- Authorized taxis at designated stands
- Buses at the arrivals bus stop
- Ride-hailing apps like Uber and BadrGo with shuttle pick-up
- Doha Metro, connected directly via a short internal walkway
- Car rentals, limousines, and valet parking
HIA staff are on hand throughout the airport to guide passengers, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey during the busy winter holiday season.
Pro Tip: Use the e-gates, know your baggage carousel, and plan your transport in advance to make your return trip as quick and easy as possible.
