Also our flight was very late, after a tech issue & then holding south of Qatar for about 45mins. In the end our connection was down to less than 45mins, ground staff were waiting for all transit passengers. Qatar rep said they are holding all flights for connecting passengers, as for obvious reasons they don't want to be rebooking people for a flight up to 24hrs later or worse.
As expected, the airport was a lot quieter & the staff are eager to get things back to normal asap.
The LHR flight was about 50% full in economy, not sure about Business.
The KUL flight was about 50% full in Business, not sure about economy.
Interesting....I just flew KUL-DOH-LHR on 5th and 6th April, and it was 100% full in business class on both flights. No vacant seat at all (because I was considering switching my seat).
