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 Qatar's own flights via Doha use unpublished route pricing, so the prices shown are what has been seen, not a chart.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

Questions people ask

Why is Manila to Chicago 154,500?

It's 8,132 miles, 132 over the 8,000 mile edge of Philippine Airlines' Qatar chart. Manila to the West Coast is 110,000.

Is the Doha price the same in this direction?

The 95,000 and 100,000 prices were 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.
