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.

- LHR to LAX is 5,456 miles, close to the 5,500 mile edge. Any connection on top pushes it to 92,750.
