Just wondering if anyone has been through the process of connecting in DOH on seperate tickets/airlines?

Im flying business class into DOH on QR, then connecting to an economy flight on Turkish Airlines. Separate PNR.

I have 1h 45min to make the connection.

Am I correct in assuming I will need to clear immigration, collect bags, then check in bags for the TK flight and go through customs/security again?

I normally travel with carry on only where this wouldn't be such an issue, but I have bags to check this time.
Is this feasible with 1h45m to connect?

I’d send them a tweet. Nothing seems guaranteed even on the same PNR. I’m doing similar through DXB but on same PNR and I will need to contact the transit desk when we get to Dubai and apparently they can extract the luggage for you without doing all the immigration stuff.
 
Thanks, I'll send them a message. Not that I'd have time, but is AL Mourjahn access granted for arriving J passengers with an onwards economy ticket?

Sadly no. They are really strict about that. Must be onwards. I’m not sure if you’d have time anyway, it’s a huge airport. Quite fun to look around though. If you have WP status there is another lounge you can use though. Maybe Gold as well. And you can pay a fee for others but don’t think cost is warranted given time.

Ok thanks. I've heard an arrivals lounge mentioned somewhere..was really just after a shower if time permitted. I'll suss it out. Cheers.
 
Plat status wouldn't help on transfer to Turkish.

There is an arrivals lounge but you need to clear passport control to access it - although if you have luggage and can't get it through checked you'd need to do this.

Like most airports (apart from US and China) Doha has a separate transfer security check before immigration which you would use if through checked or hand luggage only.

This older FT thread suggests QR may offer interlining on shorter connections on different carriers
