Forums Frequent flyer programs The British Airways Club Booking Qatar Avios vs upgrade with Avios

  • 623 posts

    Hi I need to book a trip to London to Nepal. Thinking of going Qatar via Doha.

    What are the pros and cons of booking all 4vlegs on Avios versus cash with option to upgrade via Avios.

    If I land in Doha on J but fly out of Doha Econ can I use the business lounge for the connection stopover period? Do they limit to 3 hrs Lounge access?

    Is the Qatar business lounge leagues better than their econ lounge?

    I believe there is no lounge access on an upgraded ticket booked through QR, but there is lounge access on a full Avios ticket when booked through BA.

    By your last comment I assume you have One World status as economy passengers with no status don’t get lounge access. Rob has recently reviewed the lounge provided for status economy passengers.
