QR is T5 - BA is T2

As above - the QR lounge Arlanda (check in call it Aviator) is after passport control

Why so? Though I've only been there once, I've actually done an ex-EU with check-in luggage, and I found the 'transit' experience to be relatively frictionless."
BA at T2 to QR at T5 was not smoooth.
1. Long wait at immigration behind Aeroflot flight
2. I arrived early morning and left on the late QR flight. Had to find left luggage which works out at £10 per bag for about half a day.
3. T2 to T5 is a long way and is poorly signed. Reminiscent of Mamchester T2 to T1/T3 except they don't charge for baggage trolleys. LOL
4 Late access to a poor lounge.
The whole QR experience on this journey was very poor
5. Seriously over crowded lounge in Doha
6. 40 minute wait for shower in DOH
7. Shambolic boarding. Remote stand. J on separate bus but waited 30 minutes for all J passengers to arrive, whilst 2 Y buses departed. The bus had engine running with fumes piling in . The AC was runing at polar bear temperatures
8. Aircraft swap on QR816 to a 2-2-2 777 with no WiFi
9 40 minutes late - largely the fault of boading gate. They were astonishingly unprofessional.
My experience on BA HKG to MAN in July was light years better.
