Qatar Avios Points Value Calculator

Qatar Avios Value

Avios redeemed with Qatar are worth 1 cent for standard flights and as much as 2 cents or more for First and Business class flights. This means that 10,000 Qatar Avios can be worth anywhere from $100 to $200 on average.

Here's are breakdown of Qatar Avios Value:

How To Calculate The Value of Qatar Avios

The value of Qatar Avios are not set in stone meaning that you will not know the true value of your Avios until you start the booking process and can compare costs. You can calculate the exact value of your redemption by dividing the cash cost of your redemption by the number of Avios required.

Avios Points Value = Cost of Redemption ÷ Avios Required.

Check out our Cash + Avios Calculator to easily calculate the value of any Qatar redemption.

Redeeming Qatar Avios For The Best Value

You will get the best value out of your Qatar Avios when redeeming them for flights with Qatar and their airline partners, especially when it comes to business and first class flights. All other redemptions will give your Avios significantly less value.

Award Flights

Qatar Avios have the best value when booking flight awards with Qatar and Qatar's oneworld partners. This will give you around 1 cent in value for standard flights and as much as 2 cents or more for First and Business class flights.

Listed below are a few of the most popular redemptions if you're sitting on a stack of Qatar Avios or you're looking to fly some solid First/Business class products with partners.

You can book these flights by signing into your Privilege Club account on Qatar's website and searching for award flights.

• Fly From The U.S. To Doha On Qatar: If you want to use your Avios to actually fly Qatar, the best option is to fly their top-notch Business Class product from the U.S. to Doha. Business Class flights start as low as 70,000 Avios one-way. Qatar has a handful of non-stop flights from the U.S. including:
  • Atlanta (ATL)
  • Chicago (ORD)
  • Los Angeles (LAX)
  • Miami (MIA)
  • New York (JFK)
  • San Francisco (SFO)
  • Seattle (SEA)
  • Washington, D.C. (IAD)
• Fly From The U.S. To Europe On American Airlines: One-way Economy flights start at 35,000 Avios while one-way Business class flights start at 70,000 Avios. This includes flights from
  • Chicago (ORD)
  • Los Angeles (LAX)
  • Miami (MIA)
  • New York (JFK)
  • Philadelphia (PHL)
• Fly From The U.S. To Australia On Qantas In First Class: If you want some real top-notch luxury and you're sitting on loads of Avios, you can fly from the U.S. to Australia in First Class on Qantas. This will cost you 225,000 Avios, but the normal cash cost of these flights are greater than $10,000 so you'll be getting some exceptional value out of this redemption.

Hotels & Car Rentals

Qatar Avios can be used to book car rentals and hotels through the Hotels and Cars portal. The value you get out of these redemptions will vary.

When comparing prices I found hotel bookings that gave values as low as 0.54 cents per point and as much as 0.75 cents per point. I also found that all of the Cash + Avios bookings offered better value versus booking in all Avios which is the norm.

Car rentals produce the same wide range of results with the Cash + Avios bookings offering the better value over paying in all Avios.

Other Redemptions

Qatar Avios can also be redeemed for:

• Flight redemptions using Cash + Avios: When redeeming Avios, you'll be given the option to pay in a mix of cash and Avios if you have at least 50% of the Avios required to book the award flight. The biggest benefit of Cash + Avios, is that these redemptions will generally give your Avios better value when compared to paying for flight in all Avios.
• Using Avios for Excess Baggage Awards: Privilege Club members can use their earned Avios towards excess baggage costs. This can be for bags that weigh between 1kg and 10kg, with the exception of flights to/from the Americas.
• In-flight Super Wi-Fi: Qatar Avios can be redeemed for Super Wi-Fi available on select Qatar aircrafts. When purchasing Wi-Fi, you can save money/Avios when purchasing your Wi-Fi code before your trip.
• Shop & Pay With Avios: Qatar Avios can be used to shop online through the Privilege Club eShop which features more than 600 products that includes beauty, fashion & accessories, toys, electronics, and more.

Cash + Avios Calculator
