QRs published policy on checking baggage through on separate PNRs (under Benefits/Other Benefits/Through check-in):
https://www.qatarairways.com/en/abou.../oneworld.html
Recommend having access to the website / a printout to share with the check-in staff if they are uncertain.
Check-in staff may also ask to see your other / second ticket to confirm your baggage allowance (hopefully with status) on those flights.

Indeed, they seem to have removed the policy from most regional websites. That is a bad sign. Still resent in some foreign languages and South Africa.
For example, it disappeared from the english-version for Germany, but still remains (for now) in the German-version.

QRs policy (or lack thereof) doesnt really matter in this case, because its BA thatll be accepting your bags. Theyre well known for not checking through on separate tickets, even BA-BA.

If you go to the transit counter at Doha they may be able to have your bag retagged without you having to go landside.

They through checked my bags yesterday at Bali on a DPS-DOH-AMS // AMS-LHR over two tickets.
They didn't mention any change of policy (and it's still on the Indonesian website), but it did take them 45 min to do it, with lots of confusion seemly over the BA leg being in Economy and having 2 bag limit vs Qatar legs in business with a weight limit... They barely spoke about what the various problems seemed to be, but after much help from multiple supervisors I got 3 boarding passes and bags tagged to London.

I'm thinking of booking the following 2 flights (separate tickets):
RAK-MAD on Iberia, landing at 14:35
MAD-DOH on QR, departing at 16:35
I'm a privilege club gold member and i was wondering if there's a possibility to have my luggage checked through to DOH?
Worst case scenario, there's a MAD-DOH flight late the same evening, but I'd rather take the 16:35 flight!

In any case, 2 hours is quite risky on separate tickets.

Unless the QR company rep comes and confirms or denies the policy exists anymore we really have no idea.

I'd noticed it was reported missing from some other country websites but missed the UK mention. Not looking hard enough!
