Avios Deals Qatar Airways

Qatar Airways Privilege Deals for November and December 2026

Qatar Airways has announced its November Privilege Deals, with 25% off Avios awards and Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Manila all on the Business Class list, including Qsuite.

Qatar Airways’ monthly Privilege Deals are back for a fourth round, with 25% off Avios awards to and from a fresh list of cities for travel from now until year-end – across the rest of November and all of December 2026.

As before, the discount applies to standard Avios award rates on a rotating list of cities to and from Doha. Singapore has dropped off this time, but Kuala Lumpur joins the Business Class list for the first time (with a daily Qsuite option), alongside the return of Jakarta and Manila.

That’s a big improvement for Business Class seekers in this part of the world, after a month with no Asia-Pacific cities in the front cabin. Qatar is also listing First Class separately for the first time, with Amman and Beirut included.

The pattern has held for a fourth month, with a booking window running from the 5th to the 14th of the month, and travel permitted from the 5th of that month through to the end of the following one. Qatar’s updated terms now confirm that new deals are generally released on the 5th of each month.

There’s a dedicated Privilege Deals page on the Qatar Airways website along with a published set of terms and conditions.

The page now includes a search tool where you can enter your departure airport to see where your Avios can take you.

Eight cities are included for Business Class awards, two for First Class and seven for Economy Class, with Beirut the only city to appear on more than one list.

Here’s the full Business Class list.

Here’s the First Class list.

Qatar Airways doesn’t offer Business Class on its regional aircraft, so on some shorter routes, such as Amman and Beirut, the front cabin is sold as regional First Class instead. If you connect onto a long-haul flight in Business Class, the itinerary will show as ‘Mixed Class’ when you book, which is nothing to worry about.

Here’s the full Economy Class list.

Economy Class Privilege Deals

Standard Discounted
Beirut 13,000 9,750
Cairo 13,000 9,750
Addis Ababa 13,000 9,750
Entebbe 17,500 13,125
Seychelles 17,500 13,125
Geneva 21,500 16,125
Oslo 21,500 16,125

As before, these are off-peak prices. The 25% discount applies to peak dates too, but from a base rate around 20% higher. Flexi Awards, which cost double the standard rate, are excluded from the offer.

The discount is also cabin-specific. A city on the Business Class list is discounted in Business Class only, and a city on the Economy Class list in Economy only. Cairo is a good example this month – it was on the Business list in August and September, but appears on the Economy list for November, so it now prices at the usual rate in Business. Beirut is the exception, discounted in both Economy and First Class.

Singapore has dropped off the list this month, but for most of our readers that’s more than made up for by Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta appearing in Business Class, both a short and inexpensive positioning flight from Changi.

Kuala Lumpur to Doha in Business Class comes down from 50,000 Avios to 37,500 Avios one-way, with Jakarta and Manila both at 45,000 Avios (usually 60,000 Avios).

Interestingly, the deal also allows discounted redemption on Qatar’s oneworld partner Malaysia Airlines between Kuala Lumpur and Doha, opening up additional award options.

Note that this goes beyond Qatar’s published terms, which limit Privilege Deals to flights both marketed and operated by Qatar Airways, but the two carriers operate under a strategic partnership on this city pair.

As in recent rounds, the Southeast Asian Business Class options don’t all offer the same seat, so it’s worth knowing what you’re booking.

Jakarta ⇄ Doha 21x weekly Airbus

Manila ⇄ Doha 18x weekly Boeing

Kuala Lumpur has the most interesting mix. Most flights use the Boeing 787-9 with the Business Suite, a reverse herringbone in a 1-2-1 layout with direct aisle access from all 30 seats, a closing privacy door and a 79-inch bed, plus wireless charging at every seat.

It plays second fiddle to the Qsuite, mostly because the privacy door is lower and there’s no double bed option in the centre pairs, but it’s a strong product in its own right. One tip if you do book it: avoid 5A and 5K, which get only half a window between them.

One daily Kuala Lumpur 777-300ER flight has the Qsuite, as does every Manila flight we checked across November and December. That’s still one of the best Business Class seats flying anywhere, so it’s worth picking your date accordingly.

The addition to two daily Malaysia Airlines flights on the KL – Doha route adds that carrier’s A330 and A350 Business Class products to the 25% off redemption mix.

Jakarta is an Airbus A350-900 operation with Qatar’s older Collins reverse herringbone seat. You still get direct aisle access, but there’s no privacy door, so it’s a step behind the other two, though you may be able to connect onto a Qsuite flight from Doha.

Aircraft swaps do happen, so check the seat map before you commit if the product matters to you.

Singapore isn’t on any of this month’s lists, but because the discount only needs one end of the journey to qualify, Economy redemptions from Changi to any of the seven Economy cities still pick up the full 25%. Singapore to Geneva or Oslo via Doha drops from 37,500 Avios to 28,125 Avios, for example, and the same logic applies to Cairo, Beirut, Addis Ababa, Entebbe and the Seychelles.

Singapore to Geneva via Doha in Economy Class comes in at 28,125 Avios under this deal (usually 37,500 Avios)

The same trick works in Business Class – Singapore to Bucharest or Tbilisi via Doha qualifies through the far end of the journey – but only in theory.

Standard award space between Singapore and Doha in Business Class remains almost non-existent across the travel window, as the Geneva search above shows, with Business Class not available at all on that date.

That’s why Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta are the far more practical Business Class options this month.

Before you get too excited about 28,125 Avios to Europe, Qatar Airways applies award segment fees to its Avios redemption tickets, and these can add up fast on longer routings.

Qatar Airways Award Segment Fees
One-way from Singapore
Destination Economy Business
Europe US$90 US$180
USA US$125 US$250

These fees apply in addition to the usual airport taxes and government charges, and the figures above are per one-way journey, so a return trip doubles them – a significant cash outlay on top of your miles. Departures from Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta carry their own fees, so check the total before you commit.

The most useful feature of these deals, as we’ve covered in previous rounds, is that the saving isn’t confined to the sector that appears on the list – and Qatar has now made this official. Its updated terms state that Privilege Deals work on an origin and destination basis, so you can redeem between any Qatar Airways destination and a featured city, in either direction.

If one end of your itinerary is an eligible city, the 25% discount applies to the whole journey – including the onward flight beyond Doha to a destination that isn’t part of the offer at all.

Kuala Lumpur to Edinburgh via Doha in Business Class for 56,250 Avios (usually 75,000 Avios), even though Edinburgh isn’t part of this month’s offer

For Singapore-based readers willing to position, that opens up Qatar’s full network in Business Class at 25% off from Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta, provided the cheapest award space is available on both sectors.

In Economy from Changi, the qualifying city will need to be at the far end of your trip instead.

Think of any redemption as City A to Doha to City B. Qatar Airways only needs one of those two cities to be on this month’s list, and the discount then applies to the whole journey – for example Kuala Lumpur to Doha to Edinburgh in Business Class, as in the example above (Edinburgh isn’t part of the offer, but Kuala Lumpur is).

Note that Qatar Airways’ calendar search can’t be trusted. It’ll happily report a blank month when discounted seats are in fact sitting there, so if you’re chasing a routing beyond the listed cities, you may need to check dates individually.

Discounted dates carry a ‘Privilege Deals’ tag in the date strip, as in the screenshot above, so they’re easy enough to pick out, and the individual flights available as part of the offer are similarly tagged once a date is selected.

Here are some terms and conditions for the Privilege Deals promotion.

  • Flexi Awards are excluded, as in previous months. The discount only applies to standard award inventory.
  • Avios + Cash is permitted if your balance falls short.
  • Up to nine passengers per booking (subject to availability), with no cap on the number of bookings you make.
  • Changes are possible, on the same fee scale as cancellations, but you’ll need to cancel and rebook rather than amend, if it’s a change you need. You’re then at the mercy of whatever’s left.
  • Cancellation fees are US$25 more than 24 hours before departure, or US$100 between 3 and 24 hours. Inside three hours, neither is permitted. Privilege Club Gold and Platinum members have these fees waived entirely.

You’ll need to book directly through Qatar Airways Privilege Club, logged in, either at qatarairways.com or in the app. The discounted rates don’t appear at ba.com, so if your Avios are with British Airways you’ll need to move them across first.

Privilege Deals flights are tagged in award searches and in the Award Flight Finder, so they’re easy enough to spot once you’re in the right place.

Redeeming for other people is also simpler than it was earlier this year. Qatar Airways has dropped the requirement to credit a paid flight first, so any account at least 30 days old can now add people to My List (up to four other Privilege Club members) or Family & Friends (up to nine), allowing you to book for up to 13 people in total.

If you’re short of Avios points, two Singapore banks transfer into the Qatar Privilege Club. The partners don’t share a common ratio, though.

Ratio Speed Fee

1:1 2-3 days S$27.25

ThankYou Points
2.5:1 2-3 days S$27.25

You can also transfer HeyMax Max Miles to QRPC at a 1:1 ratio, instantly and free of charge, subject to a minimum of 1,000 points per transfer.

If you need a larger top-up, it’s also worth a look at our recent coverage of buying Avios via Finnair for around 1.35 Singapore cents each (now 1.39 Singapore cents via a USD purchase).

The HSBC ratio is poor and to be avoided, since the bank transfers at a 2.5:1 ratio to many FFPs, and a 3:1 ratio to some others, but thankfully there’s an easy way around it.

Convert your HSBC points to British Airways Club instead, where the rate is 2.5:1, then shift the resulting Avios into Privilege Club. Because the two programmes both sit inside the Avios ‘ecosystem’, that second move is at parity, instant, free, and even reversible if you change your mind.

You can also transfer from OCBC to BA Avios, then follow the same process to shift them across to QRPC, but once again this is at an inferior ratio compared to some other programmes like KrisFlyer, so we don’t recommend it.

Summary

Qatar Airways’ fourth round of Privilege Deals runs in the same format – book by 14th November 2026, for travel between 5th November and 31st December 2026, with 25% off standard Avios award rates.

Kuala Lumpur joins the Business Class list, alongside Jakarta and Manila, putting a discounted Business Class trip to Europe and beyond within a short positioning flight of Changi. Malaysia Airlines flights between Kuala Lumpur and Doha are pricing at the same 25% discount in Business Class too.

Singapore has dropped off, but Economy redemptions between Changi and Geneva, Oslo, Cairo, Beirut, Addis Ababa, Entebbe or the Seychelles still pick up the discount, with Europe from 28,125 Avios one-way.

With the city list rotating every month and a booking window of just ten days, it’s worth checking back at the start of each month to see what comes up next.
