Best ways to redeem Avios

In my experience, Qatar Airways sets the standard when it comes to Business Class travel; offering great seats, airport lounges, food and overall Business Class experience.

Additional note: Qatar Airways does not pass on fuel surcharges for award bookings on its own flights, however, the airline charges an additional booking fee per segment. This means that, if you’re flying to Europe in Business Class, you will be paying around S$350 each way (2 segments).
