Global Connections: JetBlue Award Flights Now Available through Qatar Avios

JetBlue now offers award flight bookings to members of the Qatar Privilege Club. With respect to other rates in the Avios programme, there is a fair set award chart.

The news allows almost any transferable points programme to be used to book JetBlue award flights. This is so that you can use different bank programmes to transfer points to either the British Airways Executive Club or the Qatar Privilege Club (both of which use Avios as their unit of currency) and then use those points to make reservations through Qatar.

All of JetBlue’s newly announced European route expansion is available to book with Avios. JetBlue is renowned for providing exceptional first-class service.

In simpler terms, For Example if you want to fly a short distance like from New York’s JFK to Washington DCA (0-650 miles). Before, the cost for an economy-class ticket was 6,000 Avios. Now, the new price for an economy-class ticket is 8,500 Avios. The old price for a business-class ticket was 12,500 Avios. However, the new price for a business-class ticket is 17,000 Avios.

The ability to book JetBlue flight awards has made Qatar Avios even more valuable. You can transfer your transferable bank points straight to the British Airways Executive Club or Qatar Privilege Club. In either case, you can search for and reserve JetBlue award flights using the Avios that are already combined in your Qatar account.

In part to that workaround, almost anyone with bank points can use Qatar Avios to access JetBlue awards, opening up yet another option for travel rewards.
