[QUOTE=MH017;11848003]Were you parked next to the Terminal or opposite the runway at the 'new' apron ? In that case you even have to take a bus'trip' (busses can only go 40kph according to the traffic signs), so, this alone will take you 15-20 mins, if flight is on time...so, with a 45mins transfer, this will only give you 20 mins to clear the horrendous security check and proceed to your new gate...QUOTE]

That bring back my memory to 2006, I was doing HKG-DOH-LGW, when I arrived Doha, my A340-600 is parked quite near to the premium terminal, so it took 5 mins to the PT, however, when going to the DOH-LGW flight, the bus departed from 10 mins before the departure time of the flight from the PT, after 15 mins ride, I can see nothing around us (no other vechicle nor any aircraft, and it was around 1am), I started to worry as where were we going to...... 10 mins later, I can bearly see a A330 in front of us finally and it was my flight to LGW.

So till this moment, my impression of Doha Airport is.....a Dark Desert...
