Dxb to Doh - omnishambles

[IainF]

For those of you who are using QR to get to/from DXB, a quick heads up that they are using remote stands for all flights these days, which is a pain in the cough,…..
I watched the staff ignore pax who needed assistance with hand luggage to get up the stairs.
I ended up doing 3 trips to help an older couple.
The staff at both ends of the stairs just looked on.
Oh and don’t even mention the lounge access in Dxb.
Total chaos inside.
Avoid QR and get the EK/EY flights instead.

We generally in and out of SHJ or AUH on QR for those reasons plus price is usually better.
SHJ suits us as we are going to Ajman or RAK

Thanks. As a fellow who now needs help up and down stairs to board or disembark a plane I thank you for your help to others.

Strange ... in December I flew DXB to DOH return in first and found all arrangements fine.

Can't speak for bus gates as both flight used airbridges.

The lounge was fine, since First there was a special reserved area.

Also, flying Qatar first I had access to rhe BA lounge at DXB as it happened to be open.
