Cost breakdown

British Airways: 70k + ~$200-230 in tax/fees one-way. $55 change/cancel fee
Qatar Airways: 70-94.5k points + ~$200-230 in tax/fees one-way. $25 change/cancel fee if done 24+ hours before departure. $100 fee if 3-24 hours before departure. Tax/fees goes up if you connect through Doha.

Qatar won’t let you view tax/fees unless you have enough points to book. You can call or chat to ask, but generally it is around $200-230 between US-DOH; $287-788 between US-MLE (MLE charges a large departure tax on premium cabins); and $300-$400 to/from other Asian destinations.

All cards have a way, either directly or indirectly to move points to Qatar Airways (The Points Guy for details). You can freely move points between British Airways and other Avios programs (Aer Lingus, Finnair, Iberia, etc. to Qatar). Make sure to transfer points (if using Chase for example) to get any applicable transfer bonus.

Peak vs. Off-Peak: Qatar is now implementing a peak vs. off-peak pricing model where off-peak pricing costs 70k between US-DOH and 94.5k during peak dates (35% more!).

Fly beyond Doha using Qatar’s extensive network

Qatar has an extensive network beyond Doha. You can book on one ticket with a layover in Doha between the US and the Maldives, Seychelles, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Delhi, Mumbai, Cape Town, Bangkok, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Bali, and many more destinations.

Best availability to fly beyond Doha is in September-October 2026.

You can fly to the Maldives from the US for as low as 85k points per person one-way, including the DOH-MLE leg in first class instead of business in some cases.

How to search and book?

1) The best way is using Qatar’s own website. You will need an account to search. I prefer booking with Qatar as they have a cheaper change/cancel fee than British Airways, and if there is a schedule change or flight cancellation, it is easier to rebook with Qatar.

2) On the Qatar site, log in and put in dates and destinations, choose one way, choose Premium as class type, and check “Book using Avios”. Then search.

Semi-useful hint: There is a calendar view option. When picking the date, choose the “My dates are flexible” option to pull up calendar view. However, it’s “semi-useful” as the calendar will say “available” even if the award is a “flexi” award, which costs 2x the saver price. So a ticket can cost 140k points per person…

3) Confirm availability and ensure there are enough seats for the dates you want to book. You can do this by searching again with the number of passengers you plan to travel with. The cost Qatar shows if you have multiple passengers is the total cost for all passengers.

This DFW-DOH-MLE flight is 170k points for 2 people. The DOH-MLE leg is also in first class

4) Transfer the points you need and book!

Qatar business class and Qsuites

Nearly all flights between the US-DOH should have a plane equipped with Qsuites business class. Every flight between the US-DOH is marketed as such when you book. However, due to operational needs, Qatar Airways could always change the plane last minute and thus the cabin type could be different.

If you are flying between the US-DOH, I would say you have a 99% chance of getting a plane with Qsuites, and that chance drops sharply if you are traveling to certain countries… But the in-flight service and food are still world-class no matter what type of plane you get!
