How to find Qatar Airways award space
The easiest and quickest way to search for Qatar Airways award availability is through American Airlines’ website, aa.com. No log in required!
This is because, you are able to set filters like non-stop flights only, cabin class and number of passengers. You can then see a lovely month-by-month calendar view of the award availability for that route.
For Singapore-based travellers looking to fly Qatar Airways Business Class to Europe, the main challenge is always finding award availability between Singapore and Doha. The segment between Doha and European cities usually has much better availability.
For this reason, travellers should start by searching for non-stop, Business/First award availability between Singapore and Doha, before the other segment between Doha and Europe. As Qatar Airways is the only airline flying this route non-stop, searching through this method is really easy!
❗Remember: Use this website only as a reference and ignore the miles indicated on the website. Once you see availability on aa.com, replicate the search on your preferred FFP (e.g. Privilege Club on qatarairways.com) to complete the booking.
The Singapore-Doha segment is where award availability is usually lacking.

How to book Qatar Airways Business Class with miles
Qatar Airways award bookings can be made with Qatar Airways Privilege Club Avios (miles) at qatarairways.com.
They can also be made through other Frequent Flyer Programs (FFPs) like Asia Miles, Executive Club and Qantas Frequent Flyer, however, those are not recommended for this purpose, as they pass on Qatar’s hefty fuel surcharges on award bookings.
Privilege Club Avios can be earned from selected Citibank, HSBC and Standard Chartered credit cards in Singapore.
