Hello to all of you, especially to fellow non-revers/stand-by travellers.

I intend to make a trip to Australia later this year (but in low season) and among the routing possibilities QR is an option that interests me a lot because I want to give it a try and their timing seem perfect to fly to MEL.

So like the similar EK topic (of shamrock604) on this forum my questions are:

- Are your experiences as non-revers with QR rather OK ? Is it easy to stand-by in DOH ? Is there a separate area there to check in ? Specific procedures ?
- Are employees (ZED) of other airlines than QR generally well treated ?
- Is weight/payload often an issue on DOH-MEL leg ?

This would help me a lot as I haven't heard or read opinions and feedbacks on that subject contrary to EY or EK for instance.

Thanks to all of you !
Cheers.
