Not showing up in time could be for many reasons, including a delayed inbound flight.
Can it be done? Sure. If you were on one ticket you'd be accommodated on a later flight, but you won't be. It depends on your appetite for risk (or self-insurance). Hint: Would I do that, as a frequent GVA visitor? No way!
Thank you for your reply. I had suspected that might be the case!
No, I have not booked the connection (so yes that will be on a separate ticket) but am arriving on EY (flexible tix).
This has all been precipitated by the UAE closing all airspace/transportation to/from DOH & my tix next week AUH-DOH-LHR being extremely unlikely to happen (although they may re-book me I do need backup!).
Chances are I will book a separate connection a little later on with SWISS
