I travel on QR at least 2 times a week (since 2.5 years now)...and this only started happening 2 weeks ago.

I just landed in DOH from RUH...after starting this thread.

On boarding, I asked the QR staff about the issue, they said that they're seeing more of this, but there are still boarding passes with QR codes being issued....he showed me some.


Some comments from my end:
1. The payment details and my address have not changed in the last 16 months. Thats well over 100 segments with the same details.

2. The documents I hold have not changed. This issue has come up at DOH, RUH, and AMM.....all airports that I travel to very frequently and in the past have always provided QR coded boarding passes.

3. The biggest problem here is that I now have to get my boarding pass at the counter and show up 90 mins before departure. This is a disaster for me. I know that some QR check-in counters close 60 mins before departure. I've seen this first hand in DMM. They walk away from the counter 60 mins before departure.

I really hope that this is temporary!!! :-(
