Qatar Airways quietly rolled back its strict new rules requiring flight credits or co-branded card use before Avios could be redeemed for others.

After I had to take a daytrip to Nantucket and credit it to QR to book tickets home for my family next summer. Well I suppose I didn’t HAVE to do that but it was a fun way of doing it! Glad they removed the restrictions though

Can you please, make your own research and tell us why we no longer can find Avios seats from Qatar to the US for 70K ?
All redemption seats are 140k Avios now, all year around.

Ben, once you’re done making your own research and telling us why we can’t find cheap Avios seats, could you please make me a cheeseburger with a side of fries and tomato sauce?

Unfortunately this is similar to all OW partners. I’ve seen DL style prices through AS for QR for a while. It’s a lot of phantom space too.

Good luck.

Given the brokering issues. I’m not surprised they had big limitations.
