How Qatar Airways prices this route
Oceania → USA West · business, one way
Two award systems in one currency. Fiji Airways, 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 Qatar's own flights via Doha use unpublished route pricing, so the price shown is what has been seen, not a chart.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.
Good to know
- Qatar awards are one way, so you can book the trip out with another program.
- A connection adds miles. Nadi to SFO and then on to LA is priced on the total distance.
- Taxes on Fiji Airways, Qantas and American are low. Qatar’s own flights add Qatar’s carrier surcharges.

Questions people ask
Why is San Francisco 15,500 cheaper than LA from Fiji?
Nadi to SFO is 5,458 miles, just under the 5,500 mile edge (77,250). Nadi to LAX is 5,519 miles, just over it (92,750).
Can I do the same trick from Sydney via Nadi?
No. Sydney to the West Coast via Nadi is about 7,430 miles, over 7,000, so it's 154,500, the same as a Qantas nonstop. Auckland via Nadi stays under 7,000 (108,250).
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.
