      Hi. I watched the video and based on my understanding, if you one ticket throughout your journey, you can go to transfer right away. Best to check during check in if your baggage can be picked up at the final destination. However, if you have separate tickets, you need to get bags and go through immigration, and then check in again. I believe Qatar is one of the most welcoming countries offering visas on arrival, you may want to check on your eligibility depending on your passport’s nationality

      PNR stands for Passenger Name Record. It is a unique 6 alphanumeric code assigned to a traveler's booking in the airline's reservation system.
      To ensure two flights have the same PNR, you need to book them as part of the same itinerary. When booking, include both flights in a single transaction on the airline's website, for example.
      Sometimes if you book with one airline or airlines within the same alliance (e.g., Star Alliance, Oneworld, SkyTeam). They allow seamless connections under a single PNR.
      Having the same PNR simplifies your travel:
      1. Airlines will typically handle missed connections or rebookings due to delays.
      2. Your luggage can be checked through to your final destination.
      3. You only need to check in once for both flights.

      Hi,
      Departures
      Important information for passengers departing from Hamad International Airport Departures
      Security check:
      At the security check, your hand-baggage is screened. You’re also required to walk through a metal detector. The experience will be much smoother if you:
      Ensure that you’re not carrying any prohibited items .
      Pack any liquid containers in a clear, re-sealable plastic bag. Each liquid container must be 100ml or less. Complimentary re-sealable plastic bags are available from the nearest information desk.
      Put small items into your hand-baggage before being screened. These include phones, wallets, watches and keys.
      Place items with metallic parts (belts, shoes, etc.) into the security tray before walking through the metal detector.
      Please note that:
      Our walk-through metal detectors are safe for passengers with cardiac pacemakers.
      Expectant mothers may be exempted from walking through metal detectors at the discretion of the security staff, and on the presentation of a medical certificate. In this case, they must undergo a physical check that will be conducted by a lady security officer.
      Dedicated lanes are available for First and Business Class passengers.
