Thanks for the response and "club" was meaning different alliance ie if i think if i was on separate tickets with BA and Qatar then it could be checked through but wanted to know if Covid had changed check through with different non linked airlines.
So from above it looks like if im KLM to Qatar then i need to pick up cases which essentially means I will be treated as NON TRANSIT and have to go land side and be subject to any quarantine rules that exist in that circumstance which i think at this point would render it not possible.
