How would this work if your DUB-DOH flight was delayed after boarding/takeoff which then meant your connection was missed. Are you left in limbo in DOH as you wont have a valid test, and also cant enter DOH to get one?

Just as an add on... it shows how stupid some of the covid rules are. We were able to rebook onto a later direct flight from DUB to AUH which meant we actually arrive later than the originally scheduled DOH-DXB, using the same PCR test...
