And btw I also did not consider the attitude of the Lounge personnel at the entrance professionell at all and felt humiliated- we also passed the scan at the escalator but then were called to the desk like we committed a crime and sneaked in. Bye bye Qatar Airways
Were you singled out once you were upstairs or is this second inspection now SOP? I never had to show my boarding pass at the desk so far.
