I know we will be given a yellow/orange travel wallet but I have read that sometimes this doesn't make an difference!
Any advice welcome
You say this as if it's the Tour Operator's fault - the reality on that route is that you have either a 45 minute connection, or a 24 hour 45 minute connection - which would you prefer?
QR say it's a perfectly adequate connection, your connection is guaranteed (in terms that they will look after you if you miss the connection), and i've managed 45 minutes at the old airport with no issues.
At the new airport there will be no problems 95% of the time. Unlike say LHR, EDI will have no problems getting you away. My last 2 connections in DOH were 2 hours and 3 hours, and I honestly was so bored. I think I could have made the connections in 15 minutes.
Worry not, QR will have you covered.
