Two award systems in one currency. JAL and American are priced by the total distance flown. Qatar's own flights via Doha use unpublished route pricing, so the price shown is what has been seen, not a chart. Flexi awards on Qatar cost 2× Standard when Standard seats are gone.

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. Qatar's own flights via Doha are not on this chart. Some routes are seasonal or run reduced schedules.

Questions people ask

Why not just add Tokyo–Doha and Doha–USA?

Qatar prices its own flights as one trip. Tokyo to Dallas via Doha is about 100,000, while the two flights booked separately would cost about 135,000.

Can I connect on from Dallas to Houston for the same price?

Only if the total stays under 6,500 miles. HND to DFW is already 6,462, so adding a domestic leg pushes it to 108,250.

What's Flexi?

Qatar's own-flight award that opens up more seats when Standard is sold out. It costs exactly twice the Standard price.

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.
