However, my understanding is that officially QR won't check through all the way on separate tickets, but there's nothing to physically stop the agent from doing it and they are contract staff in DWC.
Thanks, hopefully I will be alright and get my bags checked through all right. If i have to re-collect them, then so be it, I have 3.5 hours to kill anyway, would jusr rather spend it relaxing in a lounge.

I will report on Thursday evening the outcome.
