Qatar QSuites Business Class Award Space in April-May 2026

Qatar QSuites Business Class Award Space in November-December 2025

Fly Qatar Qsuites Business Class with Award Space to the Middle East and the Maldives in April-May 2026 for the Maldives. This is a bit after peak season, so with a bit more potential for some showers/cloudy skies, though resort rates can also be a bit lower as well. While Qsuites isn't our favorite business class (we prefer Japan Airlines SkySuite Business Class 777-300ER window seats, thanks to the three windows, privacy, and comfortable mattress pad), Qatar Qsuites has a good hard product, even if service and catering has been inconsistent on our multiple flights.

And if you're lucky, you may be able to find award space between Doha and Male MLE in Qatar First Class, since Qatar leased some of Cathay Pacific's 777-300ER aircraft with first class. Here's our Qatar First Class 777-300ER video review:

Which Miles and Points to Book Qatar QSuites Award Space

The best way to book this award space, especially if you're hoping to connect onwards from Doha to elsewhere in the Middle East or the Maldives, India, or East Africa, is with Qatar Avios. Once you have a Qatar Privilege Club account, you can link it to your British Airways Executive Club account so as to use the “Combine my Avios” function to transfer BA Avios to Qatar. Keep in mind that Qatar recently increased the fees by ~$150 each way on award tickets, but still well worth it to have access to more connecting award options.

It's 70,000 Qatar Avios on nonstop U.S. to Doha flights (54K Citi ThankYou points with the current 30% transfer bonus), while the Maldives, India, and East Africa, if you can find connecting award space, will be 85,000 Avios from the U.S., and South Africa and Southeast Asia are 95K Avios.

Where to Stay in Doha

If stopping in Doha with enough time to see sights, our recommendation for a luxury hotel stay is the Mandarin Oriental Doha. Get a sense for the hotel with our Mandarin Oriental Doha video review:

Where to Stay in the Maldives

September falls during the rainier season in the Maldives, so there's a higher chance of showers and partly cloudy skies, although even with that chance, the Maldives is still an incredible destination. Consider staying at a larger resort and in a nicer villa, however, so that there are things to do even if it rains.

We've stayed at eleven different luxury resorts in the Maldives, and our clients have stayed at many others. Our top recommendations are Cheval Blanc Randheli; Velaa Private Island; and the Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru, all of which we can reserve with Virtuoso or preferred partner benefits.
