Much of my long haul from Manchester now is with Qatar so if nothing else this will be a stopgap, as I have to decide by Saturday (no point depositing with BA) and will review once the dust has settled with the BA changes.
EDIT: Assume a Platinum with QR will also allow me access to the First Wing at LHR or is that just for BA Gold?
