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.
Good to know
- Qatar awards are one way, so you can book the return with another program.
- A connection adds miles. JFK to Rome via Madrid is priced on the total, not the nonstop distance.
- Taxes depend on the airline you fly. British Airways adds much higher surcharges than American or Iberia.
How to find seats
- 1 Search American or Iberia to London, Paris or Madrid. All the East Coast nonstops shown are in the 62,000 band.
- 2 Keep the itinerary nonstop. A connection adds miles and can push you into the 77,250 band.
- 3 For British Airways flights, price the same seat on ba.com too. Avios move between Qatar and BA 1:1, instantly and for free.
- 4 Transfer points only once you see the seat.

Questions people ask
Why is Helsinki more than London?
JFK to HEL is 4,117 miles, just over the 4,000 mile edge, so it's 77,250. JFK to LHR is 3,452 miles and stays at 62,000.
Can I book Qatar's own Qsuite to Europe?
Only through Doha, which is a long detour for a transatlantic trip. On this route the partner awards are the better use of Qatar Avios.
What about JetBlue Mint?
JetBlue has its own Qatar chart, starting at 78,000 for Mint up to 4,000 miles. That's more than American or Iberia on the same routes.
Why isn't British Airways at the chart price?
BA-operated awards through Qatar sometimes price above the generic partner chart. Check both programs before you book.
I have Chase points. Can I use this?
Yes. Transfer Chase to British Airways Avios 1:1, then combine them into Qatar Avios 1:1 in the Qatar account. Link the two accounts first.
