DOHA: Hamad International Airport (HIA) is expecting an increase in arriving passenger traffic from January 2 to 5, 2025.

For a seamless experience, the airport has provided key tips to support arriving passengers through Hamad International Airport. It is best to secure fragile items being carried in the centre of hard-shell case bags to avoid damage. For smooth navigation in the baggage claim area, QR codes are available to provide baggage belt information along with Flight Information Display Systems. Check-in baggage that are oversized or irregularly shaped such as wheelchairs and child seats will arrive separately at belts A and B.

It is important to keep bag tags until exiting the baggage reclaim area and do verify the bag tags before collecting belongings.

The airport has provided multiple options to cater for pick-ups: Curbside guidance: Avoid leaving vehicles unattended at the curbside of the terminal to prevent congestion, security concerns, and potential towing. For extended drop-off times, it is advised to use the short-term car park facility.

Long stay Parking with special Rates: The airport provides special discounted rates for long stay at the short-term car park only available through pre-booking, which can be accessed on the parking page of the website.
