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. LAX to Rome via London 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 Alaska.
