Qatar Airways Privilege Club (Avios)

Qatar Privilege Club switched to Avios currency in 2023, joining the same pool as British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus. Qatar's Qsuites business class — with fully closing doors and a double bed — is widely rated the world's best business class product. Amex Membership Rewards and Citi ThankYou Points transfer directly 1:1. Chase Ultimate Rewards users can transfer to British Airways Avios and use those to book Qatar flights as a Oneworld partner.
