45 minutes OK in business class to change planes
I have an upcoming flight from dubai to brussels in business class.
At doha I only have 45 minutes to change gate or plane.
I have read several posts stating that the queus can be very long.
I know that 45 min is the min rule but will I make it?
Or will there a rep from qatar at my arrival gate from dubai?
Any tips for speeding up my transfer?

I've done two transfers recently DXB-DOH-BKK and BKK-DOH-DXB in a few minutes, no security - just gate to gate. Connection time was 50mins and there was a rep waiting. Took 10mins or less but plane was on a jet bridge.
But if plane parks on a remote stand, it could be risky. There will be someone waiting for sure. Biz pax get a dedicated vehicle to the terminal, so still better chances than economy travellers.
You should make it.

If the inbound is on time you should be fine.

I would call them and see if I can get an earlier DXB flight. There are 17 flights a day or so.

I've done a 45 - 60 minute connection a couple of times in the last year, and have always had plenty of time. I've had to clear a security line that sometimes has a lot of people in it, but it moves very, very quickly. If your inbound flight is on time, you should have no problem.
