Haha I know but definitely don't want to cut it close because if I miss my flight, the domestic connection in MLE is gonna get really messed up. I guess I'll keep what you said in mind and see what time I end up landing in DOH. Thanks.
No problem. I agree, definitely don't do anything that might make you miss your flight. It's just that AFAIK if you're at the gate 20 minutes before departure anywhere, you're guaranteed to make it onto the plane.
I'd love for other people to chime in on this, if they found this, or know this to not be true in some cases.
