The Share Code method is silly and I told the then Secretary of State to her face exactly why it was a stupid system. Share Code isn't supposed to be used for travel, the official line is that if an airline makes contact with the Border Force they can verify SS - most airlines of course use handling agents and that makes calling LHR or LGW a near impossibility on a day to day basis. But I wonder if anyone has used the Share Code email to plonk in front of a check-in agent and say "here you are"? But from what I know, the original SS email is regarded by most EU carriers as being fine, I am not sure it will work at every Qatar location.
