Feeling quite smug here. I booked OSL-DOH-SYD and
deliberately chose a 19hr connection when a 7hr one was available, so I knew I wouldn't be eligible for STPC and was going to sort out my own accommodation. Before I got round to it, the OSL-DOH flight was retimed making the shortest possible connection a little over 8hrs - so I requested STPC and have just received my voucher
NB. there is an earlier flight out of OSL with a much shorter (4hr) connection, which (obviously!) did not disqualify me, contrary to [MENTION=597769]dolfinco[/MENTION]'s experience.
