Qatar Airways adopted Avios as its award currency a while ago, making Avios even more popular for redeeming flight tickets. More importantly, with BA constantly devaluing partner redemptions<\/a> without notice, it provides a cheaper alternative when you need to book CX \/ JL tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One nuisance is, for most partner redemptions you have to go through a manual procedure – fill out a form and wait for QR’s relevant department to process your request. Good news is, Cathay Pacific’s integration is now complete and you can book their tickets online now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To book, use QR’s website<\/a> or app to search as usual. Note that you need to use the first tab, instead of “Flights with other partners”.<\/p>\n\n\n

Two tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • QR’s website doesn’t have all airport codes – for example PEK and TPE are missing – use their app instead<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • You can link your BA account, and when booking they’ll take Avios from your BA account directly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    To compare, here are the costs for select routes by QR \/ BA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • HKG – TPE (economy): 6,000 Avios+265 HKD \/ 9,750 Avios + \u00a347.9<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • HKG – TPE (business): 12,500 Avios+335 HKD \/ 20,800 Avios + \u00a355<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • HKG – PVG (economy): 9,000 Avios+265 HKD \/ 12,000 Avios + \u00a343.6<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • HKG – PVG (business): 16,500 Avios+335 HKD \/ 30,000 Avios + \u00a350.7<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • BKK – SIN (economy): 9,000 Avios+780 THB \/ 12,000 Avios + \u00a339<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • BKK – SIN (business): 16,500 Avios+780 THB \/ 30,000 Avios + \u00a339<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • NRT – HKG (economy): 11,000 Avios+4,010 JPY \/ 14,300 Avios + \u00a368.2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • NRT – HKG (business): 22,000 Avios+4,010 JPY \/ 32,500 Avios + \u00a368.2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      As you can see, it’s cheaper in terms of both Avios and surcharges. I’m certainly happy to see a way around BA’s shameless devaluation, and hopefully it will last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
