Booking Qatar Airways Flights Through Partner Airlines
You can use your miles from another loyalty program to book flights on Qatar Airways as long as the program is part of the OneWorld alliance. Here’s a complete list of OneWorld alliance airlines:
- Alaska Airlines
- American Airlines
- British Airways
- Cathay Pacific
- Finnair
- Iberia
- Japan Airlines
- Malaysia Airlines
- Qantas
- Qatar
- Royal Air Maroc
- Royal Jordanian
- S7 airlines
- Sri Lankan Airlines
- Fiji Airways
Take note that you’re not transferring miles amongst the Airlines to book a flight but you’re actually booking a flight with a different airline currency. For example, if you have 105,000 British Airways miles (Avios), you can directly book a one-way Qatar airlines flight from Doha to New York.
Using Amex Points To Book Qatar Flights
American Express isn’t a direct transfer partner of Qatar Airways so you can’t convert your Membership Rewards points to Qmiles. However, Amex allows you to transfer your points to British Airways to convert them into Avios, then book Qatar flights using your Avios.
If you want to start earning Membership Rewards Points, with any of the following credit cards below:
- American Express® Gold Card – Earn 60,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $4,000 within the first six months of card membership (Terms Apply). See our complete card review here.
- The Platinum Card® from American Express – Earn 100,000 Amex Membership Rewards points after spending $6,000 on eligible purchases within six months of card membership (Terms Apply). See our complete card review here.
Bottomline
It’s nice to see Qatar Airways expanding its fleet and routes, eventually giving more flyers a wider selection of destinations to visit. Hopefully, all aircraft will have the Qsuite in the next few years so regardless of where you travel, you’ll still fly in comfort and style.
