One thing to be very aware of:
Barclays’ DragonPass Premier+ has a more limited acceptance than the regular DragonPass! This is the same subscription you get with the more expensive Travel Pack on your Barclays account, and my SIL signed up to it before our Summer Holidays as we were to families travelling together, and mine already had lounge access (PP via Amex plus LoungeKey via HSBC).

However, at the Lounge in Doha they had a sign and then explained that DP Premier+ (by Barclays they added) is not accepted there whilst the regular DragonPass was.

That’s a total surprise. I hadn’t noticed any lounges where Barclays DP wasn’t accepted but PP was until now. Was the Doha lounge showing in the Barclays app? Mine only shows a “sleep’n fly Lounge” and that’s it. Are there others available to regular Dragonpass cardholders? This might suggest the need for a standard DP account (the free one available through Regus for example) as a backup.
