We are on the eve of summer, the first of freedom after two years of pandemic, but a reward traveler is aware that the best way to use the points and find the best conversions of points to award tickets is to take action in time.
In this article:
If we are then talking about booking a ticket in QSuite., one of the best if not the best business class cabin in the world, then you need to make the most of the opportunities.
We have explained several times how far in advance the tickets are bookable and it is at this time that the window to book flights for spring 2023 opens.
Right now there are plenty of seats available to fly from Italy to Doha and beyond, taking advantage of one of the many destinations served by the Qatari carrier's network.
In addition to so much availability from Qatar, however, there are also simultaneously plenty of seats aboard Finnair, another One World carrier.
Flying to Qatar and beyond
If until a few months ago it was extremely complicated, and very expensive, to book an award ticket on board this company, now thanks to theAdoption of Avios as the currency of the loyalty program is as simple as that.
Flying to Doha, from Malpensa, costs only 86k Avios points, plus just under €200 in taxes and surcharges.
On average, Qatar offers at least two business class seats per flight.
If instead you want to continue beyond the Qatari capital, going to Bangkok costs 186k Avios points plus €377 in taxes
Finnair also 5 award seats on the same flight
The Helsinki-based carrier not only provides up to 5 award seats on the same flight, but also charges the lowest cost of all global carriers in terms of fees.
Flying to Bangkok, again from Malpensa, costs just under 200k Avios and only 63 euros in taxes, practically 1/6 of what Qatar charges on the same route. If you want to save a few thousand points, you can then book, not through British Airways Avios, but directly from Finnair.
How to earn Avios points
In addition to Flying with One World alliance companies, the easiest way is to Transfer Membership Rewards points into Avios points, in an easy and free way.
