Hmm, so I went to
https://transitvisa.qatarairways.com...plicantDetails and put in PNR and surname.
So far, so good: it found the booking and asked if we wanted to apply re the SOF-DOH-BKK journey.
Yes, I said, and again it happily took me through to the application form.
BUT, at this stage there is a dropdown box titled "Nationality". And on the linked list there is no sign of UK, United Kingdom, Great Britain, England or indeed anything matching our (UK) nationality.
So I'm stuck
Did I go to the right page ???
EDIT: I have now been on hold with QR London reservations for 25 minutes....
25 minutes for the reservations line, not even customer support ? That's terrible.
Will give it 5 more mins then give up - at least I'm using Skype so it's pennies !
EDIT REDUX: Well I finally got through in minute 30, but it seems we are not eligible as there is a shorter connection available. No biggie, we will stick to Plan A and go to the Crowne Plaza on points
