[Bookable Again At Significantly Higher Rates, Here Is The New Hidden Award Chart] Book JetBlue Flights With Qatar Avios From 4.6K Points, But, Should You?

How do you get qatar avios points

Thank you for the huge caveat upfront and center.

Jewish Lives Count!

Wouldn’t give them any business at this time.
Pass

What’s the ability like Qatar points flying on jetblue? How do you know if it’s available?

From Wikipedia:
“Qatar is a key financial backer and ally of the Palestinian militant organization Hamas. Qatar has transferred more than $1.8 billion to Hamas.”

Shameful for you to even post this. Are we a nation of suck suckeres to even consider continuing to do unnecessary business with these terror sponsors? I’m embarrassed for you for even posting this.

If this Jet Blue charges Qatar for the redemption is this really rewarding Qatar?

Isreal just accused Qatar of sponsoring a terrorist tunnel under their hospital. Mabye I’m wrong but I assume Qatar was fully aware of this as well.

Does Qatar make money when redeeming with partner airlines. Sounds stupid just have no idea how airlines make money with partners on points.

Along the same lines. The St Regis Bal Harbour is owned by a Qatari company. While it may not be government owned, …..
Would love Dan’s opinion of staying there?

Thanks Dan for this post.

How exactly is Qatar benefiting from us abusing their mileage program?

What if they jihad our miles?

@dan The way you do things you are probably making them lose money so what’s the question?
Of course we should use Qatar miles!

If I book mint using Qatar Avios do I still get free same day change as a Mosaic member?

Can you book JetBlue and BA on one ticket?

Does using Qatar Avios end up being cheaper than using straight Jetblue points? I know Jetblue prices their award flights based on the monetary price of the flights. My question is, does Qatar avios price stay the same even when the tickets are very expensive and Jetblue will charge a fortune in miles?

And I been ranting about this for 3 years and you continued to belittle me. I think Klal Yisrael is owes an apology for the nonsensical posts promoting the terror airlines just because you can get some super machmir schechita food or non gebrokts in shower cabin. Ridiculous

Its not letting me seatch jetblue, as i have 0 points, is there a workaround

Besides Qatar, I would avoid Dublin too

In that same vein Qatar is a 25% stake holder in IAG (BA, Iberia, Air Lingus, Vueling, Level).

to transfer between qatar and ba avios is there a waiting period after opening accounts ?

Is there a way to use my mint upgrade by booking economy through Qatar?

when booking by phone you can avoid the 2 day waiting period which can ensue when done online ?

Im not going to try and answer but I’d like to clarify the questions.

1) Is Qatar benefiting in this scenario?
It seems from the comments that we don’t have answer to this, but if the answer were to be yes, that would raise other questions such as using BA or Iberia Avios, as their parent company, IAG, is 20.1% owned by Qatar airways, or using Asia miles as Cathay Pacific is 9% owned by Qatar. Flying any of those airlines on a paid ticket could certainly be even more problematic.

2) Even if they are benefiting, from what Dan wrote at the beginning of the post, it seems unclear if they will continue to host or support Hamas so how do we weigh that?
Even if the answer to the first question is no, and they aren’t profiting, or they are no longer going to support Hamas there’s still another question,

3) Should we be in any way associated, even if we are benefiting and they are losing, with the national airline of a country which currently hosts and has so far given $1.8 billion to Hamas?
That would also bring up questions about Turkish Airlines, who’s government has also been a bit too cozy with Hamas, or Lufthansa, depending on how long it takes for the memory of 6 million neshamos to fade.

For ethical clarity the following two questions:
1. Does Qatar gain if I transfer BA Avios to Qatar Avios?
2. Does Qatar gain if I use these newly transfered BA points to purchase a JetBlue ticket?

To everyone bashing him – leave Dan alone. He is doing his job, which is providing the best possible info he can for people to try and save money. This is major travel news. Every other travel/points/lifestyle site is posting about this. Do you expect Dan to ignore this because Qatar Airlines may or may not be (somewhat) complicit with Hamas? Before you complain, did you do your research to make sure that whatever company you are buying from/dealing with is also not complicit?

At the end of the day, Dan is doing his job of providing info. What you do with it is your choice. If you feel that they are too helpful to Hamas – skip it. If you think that they are losing money on these tickets and taking advantage will cost them money/hurt their ability to help Hamas, go for it. But stop trying to shoot the messenger!

On a related note, what happened to the Tefillin campaign? It’s one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It used to be the top pinned post.

by using such few quatar avios points for such generous mileage redemptions, seems likes its costing Quatar money? so why not use as many as possible?

I have tried forever combining my BA account with Qatar account. And it gives me an error saying that my DOB doesn’t match. When I’m fact it does match. Any advice?

Why does it say on the screenshot, from 90k points, when there is availability for 62k ? Btw I searched Dec 11 as shown on the screenshot nothing comes up for jetblue

Was Jetblue removed? Only seeing AA, BA, no Jetblue. Tried many different days, in coach or business/first.

Once on this topic, would you fly Emirates or Etihad through the UAE at this time?

Is there a similar option with Delta where another SkyTeam airline has fixed redemption rates to help overcome their dynamic domestic pricing?

JetBlue has eliminated most of its flights between NYC and Florida beginning January.

i was debating how i felt about doing this and then I asked myself, what if it was called Hamas air……no chance

Thank you for starting the article with The Elephant. But you don’t even need to check with your LOR on whether or not it’s advisable to fly with Qatar. The Israeli MFA just came out with a worldwide warning cautioning all Jews to hide outward signs of being Jewish.

I discovered upon trying to link Qatar to my BA Executive Club that it will only link if the first/last names and DOB match on both profiles. Qatar had the wrong birthdate for me (it had transposed date/month to month/date). The only way to correct this requires uploading two documents (e.g., driver’s license, passport). Should I have any concerns about sending these sensitive identity documents to Qatar Airways?

Looks like qatar pulled all jetblue flights !!!

Goes both ways flying El Al after Israel is killing many innocent civilians. This whole thing on both sides is bad and both sides have their issues.

Qatar brought back JetBlue flights but it’s showing (and called and they confirmed) 74K for one way from JFK-SFO.
Not sure what changed

Anyone scored BOS-DUB for 28k was a steal!

Do they charge surcharges on AA LHR to USA?

Is there a way to get the Blue Extra fare in order to get free same day changes when booking through Qatar?

How do I know if there is availably if the city does not come up and I need to use the other search method? I do not want to transfer before knowing id there is availability.

Sounds like Qatar wasn’t happy with Dan’s opening statement…

if you were going for status and all is the same, would you go for Jet Blue or delta?

Real antisemites. Couldn’t even give us a good deal for a day

Anyone tried booking online vs calling them up? Online booking is not a confirmed booking?

If I would like to book a route not showing in their award search, can I transfer enough miles for one ticket and then transfer more if it if they say it’s available?
