Why rush and get stressed when you can sit and enjoy a nice lounge for a couple of hours? Even better if you drink

DOH has a randomised no-security program where some flights get to skip it

That's great news! I assume US (and probably UK) flights will have an extra gate security check? So, not so good for point-to-point travellers.

As an additional reference point: my flight on 24 July ex AMS, connecting to CPT, did have transit security. We arrived at a bus gate and that may be an additional variable.

I have an award booking for my elderly mum and me. We’re on EK433 which is scheduled to land at 1300 before transferring to EK25 which departs at 1455. She doesn’t walk quickly, so I’m concerned about the short connection time. How can I request some sort of mobility assistance?
I may just be looking in the wrong place. It’s a QF award, but I can’t see anything on the EK or QF website under manage my booking. We’re traveling in J if that makes any difference. What will EK do if we mis connect?

Thanks. I’ll give them a call. I’d just assumed it could be done online, as I was able to do so on a previous trip on BA.
I clearly need to learn more about Twitter, too. I didn’t know you could message people in twitter. :-)
