TL;DR:
For self-connecting flights at Doha, is it possible to stay on the airside when the flights to and from Doha are operated by QR?
Long version:
I have the following itinerary booked separately: TPE-HKG-DOH-CDG
My self-connected layover is 2h55m at HKG and 3h50m at Doha.
TPE-HKG is operated by Cathay Pacific
HKG-DOH and DOH-CDG are operated by Qatar Airways
While I have confirmed with Cathay Pacific that they can through check my bag all the way to CDG, is this what I should be doing? Should I collect my checked bag at HKG and hand them to QR at HKG?
I believe I should be able to enter Qatar, I would like to stay on the airside at DOH if possible.Will I be able to get my DOH-CDG boarding pass when I am at HKG?
