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.
- A connection adds miles. Rome to New York via Madrid is priced on the total, not the nonstop distance.
- Taxes depend on the airline you fly and where you leave from. British Airways adds much higher surcharges than American or Iberia.
How to find seats
- 1 Search American or Iberia from London, Paris or Madrid. Every East Coast nonstop in the grid is in the 62,000 band.

Questions people ask
Is it cheaper to leave from Madrid or Paris than London?
The Avios are the same, 62,000 from all three. The taxes aren't: flights leaving the UK add Air Passenger Duty, which is high in business class. Madrid and Paris departures avoid it.
Why is Helsinki more than London?
HEL to JFK is 4,117 miles, just over the 4,000 mile edge, so it's 77,250. LHR to JFK is 3,452 miles and stays at 62,000.
My Avios are with British Airways or Iberia. Can I use them here?
Yes. Link the accounts and move Avios into Qatar 1:1, instantly and for free. Move only what you need once you've found the seat.
Why isn't British Airways at the chart price?
BA-operated awards through Qatar sometimes price above the generic partner chart. Check both programs before you book.
