Finding Qsuite award availability just got significantly easier. Seats.aero, a search tool to find award flight availability, has added another airline program, Qatar Airways Privilege Club.

I've previously written about how using this third-party tool has revolutionized how I find the best ways to redeem my points and miles across airline programs in seconds. However, I pointed out that the platform wasn't perfect; most notably, it did not show results from at least one of the five Avios programs.

Thankfully, this has now changed with Seats.aero adding Qatar Airways Privilege Club to its search platform. Qatar Airways provides the most award availability to its own Privilege Club members when booking Qsuite business class and offers limited partner airline availability.

However, I've found that the Privilege Club website is clunky and can be frustrating when searching for more than one date at a time.

Seats.aero now provides an easy way to see every redemption seat in business class, including those not offered to partner programs. Here is how.

How to find the best Qsuite award availability using Seats.aero

There are two ways to find Qsuite award availability using Seats.aero.

The first is by using the Qsuite finder tool, which will include availability through partner programs like Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, American Airlines AAdvantage, JetBlue TrueBlue and Virgin Australia Velocity, as well as Qatar Airways' own Privilege Club program.

Select "Qatar Qsuites Finder" from the "Tools" tab, then change the regions to "North America to Asia" to show flights to Doha's Hamad International Airport (DOH). Unfortunately, at this stage, the results will not show connecting flights, so if you wish to fly onward from Doha, you'll need to search for that the same way after you find availability to Doha.

Each search takes just a few seconds to load the results, so don't be put off by having to piece your itinerary together leg by leg.

You can then use the handy filter fields to narrow down the results by date, origin, destination or loyalty program — or even by how many points, miles or Avios you would like to redeem.

The green bed icon means that this flight is scheduled to take place on a Qsuite-operated aircraft, though note operational equipment swaps can happen occasionally.

You'll notice most availability through partner programs between North America and Doha is either last minute (departing in the next 14 days) or toward the end of the schedule in 2026.

For example, at the time of writing, only five Qsuite flights bookable with AAdvantage miles were available over the next 12 months, and they all depart within 14 days.

SEATS.AERO

Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members have access to only 10 flights over the next 12 months, while JetBlue TrueBlue members have access to 23 flights. Virgin Australia Velocity members can access 44 flights, though these points are difficult to earn.

So few seats are available through these partner programs because this popular product is in high demand among points and miles enthusiasts. It's also due to Privilege Club offering more seats to its members than to members of partner programs.

You can filter the results to show only those bookable through the Privilege Club program, which offers an impressive 1,009 flights compared with the five flights the AAdvantage program offers.

The second way of finding availability through Seats.aero, which allows for more filtering options and includes economy options, is to select Qatar Airways Privilege Club from the "Explore" tab at the top and choose Qatar Airways from the "Airlines" filter to ensure you only see Qatar Airways-operated flights.

SEATS.AERO

You may notice there are two different prices for Qsuite flights to Doha. That is because Privilege Club uses a two-tier off-peak and peak pricing system (think: strictly limited Saver and more available Flexi fares).

Off-peak business-class flights to Doha cost 70,000 Privilege Club Avios each way, while peak flights cost 140,000 Avios each way; partner programs do not have access to peak flights.

While 70,000 Avios is an exceptional deal for a more than 13-hour flight in one of the world's best business-class products, 140,000 Avios is still a decent price for a long-haul flight. If you compare that to other programs that operate using dynamic pricing, such as Delta SkyMiles, you can pay upward of 400,000 miles for a six-hour flight to Europe.

To find the right flight for you, use Seats.aero's handy filter options to narrow down your search. For example, if you set the departing field to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), it will only show the dates with nonstop availability from Dallas to Doha, which you can reorder by price to show the off-peak dates first.

Or, if you want to fly out on a specific date, are flexible as to the departure airport and want to see which routes are available and at what prices, you can do so by entering a date in the date field.

If the seats you want aren't available (or perhaps are only available at the higher rate), remember you can set alerts through the app to be notified if they are added to Privilege Club or any of the other supported airline loyalty programs.

You can make the alert criteria as narrow or as wide as you like. For example, you could set an alert to notify you by email or text of any seats at the 70,000-Avios off-peak level made available between all major U.S. airports to Doha during September 2025.

You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards and Citi ThankYou Rewards points to Qatar Airways Privilege Club at a 1:1 rate.

For a limited time only, you can utilize a 20% transfer bonus and transfer your Membership Rewards to Privilege Club through March 31. You must transfer a minimum of 1,000 Membership Rewards points to receive 1,200 Avios; up to 750,000 points can be transferred, and Avios will appear in your Privilege Club account within 48 hours.

The following cards all currently offer strong welcome bonuses that you could easily convert to Qatar Airways Privilege Club:

  • American Express® Gold Card: Find out your offer and see if you are eligible to earn as high as 100,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $6,000 on purchases within the first six months of card membership. Welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer.
  • The Platinum Card® from American Express: Find out your offer and see if you are eligible to earn as high as 175,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $8,000 on purchases within the first six months of card membership. Welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer.

  • Citi Strata Premier® Card (see rates and fees): Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases with your card within three months from account opening.

Plus, if you currently have a card that is a transferable rewards partner with any Avios program, you can transfer your Avios between accounts at a 1:1 rate.

Bottom line

My favorite platform for finding the best award availability to redeem my points and miles improved. I'm thrilled to see the addition of Qatar Airways Privilege Club as the latest loyalty program supported by Seats.aero.

Instead of spending hours clicking through the Privilege Club website to find Qsuite fares, I can now find award availability in a few seconds. Plus, if the award seats I want aren't available at the time of my search, I can simply use the alert function to be notified if and when they are.
