Just before Christmas last year I was booked in Y on a Qatar A380 flight from Doha to Bangkok. The queue at the Y gate, there's a separate one for premium class passengers, was horrendous, and the priority lane for QR Privilege Club members was non existent. I walked away, then returned a minute later to find the Priority Lane board in place. I formed an orderly queue of one, and was called forward more or less straight away. The looks on the faces of those in the normal queue could have killed. I handed my passport and boarding pass to he agent, and, for the umpteenth time, I saw red! The agent said I had been upgraded to business class, but that I would need to go to the Premium Class gate for the re-issue of my boarding pass. As I walked away I was again subject to countless glares from those in the Y queue who were probably convinced that I had tried to jump the queue and had been sent to the back of it! If only they knew!
