Two award systems in one currency. Qantas 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 Qatar's own flights via Doha use unpublished route pricing, so the price shown is what has been seen, not a chart.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 connecting through Nadi counts both flights. Qatar's own flights via Doha are not on this chart.

Questions people ask

Why is flying via Doha cheaper than the nonstop?

Qatar prices partner flights by distance, and Sydney to Dallas is 8,578 miles (154,500). Its own flights use a separate route price, about 120,000.

Is the Doha price the same in this direction?

The 120,000 was seen on flights from the US. Qatar's through-pricing to Japan was the same both ways, so expect about the same, but check.

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.
