Qatar's partner chart, rebuilt from 2026 bookings (Qatar doesn't publish it). Distances shown are straight-line airport-to-airport; Qatar prices the total distance actually flown, so a connection can move an itinerary into a higher band. Only American, Alaska, Iberia and Finnair nonstops are shown. British Airways and JetBlue price differently, and some routes are seasonal.
Good to know
- Qatar awards are one way, so you can book the trip out with another program.
- Flights leaving the UK add Air Passenger Duty, which is high in business class. Madrid or Helsinki departures avoid it.
- Taxes depend on the airline you fly. British Airways adds much higher surcharges than American.
How to find seats
- 1 Search American LHR to ORD first. It's the only Europe to Central US nonstop in the 62,000 band.
- 2 For Dallas, look at American, Iberia or Finnair nonstops at 77,250. For Houston or Denver, no partner flies nonstop, and a connection adds miles.
- 3 For British Airways flights, price the same seat on ba.com too. Avios move between Qatar and BA 1:1, instantly and for free.
