I am buying a LHR -> NRT flight with Qatar Airways using ba.com for Avios.
I noticed that I don’t have the option to pay fewer Avios and more money, like I do with British Airways and Iberia. Is there any way to go around it? Does any OneWorld Avios partner offer this option for Qatar?
Are you able to do some 3X Avios boost? Tha should work out cheaper than cash + Avios options.

This is a full avios reward not a part pay with avios cash flight. Boosting is therefore irrelavent.
His point is still valid though (I think) – whatever extra cash you’d rather spend is likely better off going on boosted Avios and still paying the full amount

I did exactly this at the weekend. Out of Avios so bought what I needed using Avios boost, then completed the transaction for 2 x QR flights.
But I cannot boost Avios for a reward flight, right? I would have to get a cash flight and then boost.
Indirect cash flights to Tokyo with Qatar are way more expensive than direct ones with BA, so there’s little point in doing this.
It’s 2 separate processes. You boost the avios you have already and hopefully that gives you enough to book your reward flight, as long as the maths works.
