I would like to fly LHR-DOH-DXB

Booking straight through via QR is 45k avios in J. If I book two separate tickets it’s a fair bit more. Is there any way of forcing an extended 3-4 day break in Doha on the through ticket?

Even on one PNR, with a stopover, both QR and BA will charge for each segment separately on reward tickets.

Your response is ambiguous, but QR award bookings made on BA or QR sites will freely allow you a stopover of up to 24hrs without resorting to charging for each fare component separately. This is at odds with how BA charge, say, NYC-LON-PAR as an award. It was whether there was a way of forcing the QR-QR connection to 72hrs say that I was asking about.

So LHR-DOH-DXB is 45K in J
LHR-DOH is 43k
DOH-DXB is 7K on Y or 21k in F

NYC-LHR-PAR is 34.25k and £50.50 in Y
NYC-LHR is 25k and £50 in Y
LHR-PAR is 9.25k and 50p in Y
