  Clicking on the links to the Qatar sale, the website indicates 30% as opposed to 50%.

  As at 5am.

    Weird. It is not meant be targetted.

  The beauty of Domes for me has always been the all suite nature, essentially the separate bedroom, as the lowest room type meaning you can book it on points. I have loads of Hilton so was hoping this might be something similar but seems not

  There are some very interesting propositions with good value when booking QR awards via Privilege club. The only frustrating thing is that they won’t show flight availability if you don’t have the mileage in the account which makes the process a bit more laborious – call, check, transfer, book!

    Anyone knows if the award availability on Qatar is the same as with oneworld partners?

    • Rhys says:

      Yes, I believe you’ll see the same booking via BA.

    itamatrix would let you see them before you call

      Unfortunately I wouldn’t trust it. Unless I have confirmation from QR, I wouldn’t just rely on ITA or availability from other airlines and transfer miles from, say, Amex, only to find out that there’s a problem afterwards and be stuck with the miles!

        you’re only searching in ita to find the award seats. You cant book there -so there is no exposure whatsoever. You book with QR when you’ve found what you want.

        There are a few other award searchers around, I think awardnexus is still there, for one that goes across alliances. The traditional ones dont suffer from the mysterious things that went wrong with data feed from the airlines that appear to have affected a couple of the more volume ones like seatspy.

  Need a minimum 1000 Qmiles in the account to be able to purchase. Also, with the reduced miles required for a redemption – it makes it approx £1k plus taxes for rtn LON-DOH in business which is not bad!

  • Rob says:

    Odd – that’s not in the T&Cs for buying miles. New accounts get a 2000 miles joining bonus anyway!

        Great, thanks.

  Oh dear. This means it will become impossible to access the only possibly decent lounge in Gatwick Nth now as Qatar has contracted that lounge so they were turning away people despite the lounge being in empty even pre-Covid. Grrrr

  • Phillip says:

    15 Dec15 December 16:34

    Maybe QR don’t expect much use with the new fares that exclude lounge access!

  Glad to see another offering by Hilton at a nice destination

  30% on Qmiles not 50% (banner 50%, text 30%, bit amateurish) and appears you need to have an account for a while before ordering (I set up an account today and couldn’t make a purchase)
