Hi all
Looking for some Qatar award booking tips/advice please
I’ve been looking for Lhr > Kul return between Christmas and new year. I’ve checked at exactly midnight uk time on every day when it hits 360 days and there has been zero flights with even double avios.
There are always some with economy but nothing in business.
Ive also checked later in the week on the day when the ba flights are released but there is still nothing on either the ba site or the Qatar site.
Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I should check for Lhr > doh then doh > Kul and somehow get them joined up, but initial searches show no difference 🙁

Qatar do not guarantee any reward seats. Over peak periods they generally don’t release them at 360 days out, but may do in the coming weeks/months if there hasn’t been much interest.

Would BA potentially be a better option flying direct?
