We are checked in/pre-check to JFK. 5-hour layover in JFK. Plan to hang at the new FC lounge.
"Checked in" to DOH, but do not have BPs. Printout says to go to check-in counters no later than 2 hours before scheduled departure. We have no plans to exit security just to pick up BPs.
Can AA at FCL do check-in for QR? Anyone have experience here?
(Did a search in this thread and did not find an answer.)
You can get it at the gate. You only need to check at least 2 hours if you're needing to go to the ticketing desk. The QR contracted staff leave to go work the flight at a certain point. Thus there no one to check you in. I just did this a week ago. Came in on AA from LAX with 1.5hr layover before QR flight. Gate simply issued BPS and checked me in no issues.
BTW Which QR flight are you on? The evening flight departs from T8. However the morning flight departs from T7. Thus if the morning you do need to check in at the front counter to get BP.
