Tried getting the answer to my Q over on HFP but no joy! I'm trying to find out how you redeem baec avios miles on qatar flights. I have found the flights direct on qatars own site but my BAEC flight reward search does not even pick up the destination when I attempt to use it. Qatar is part of OW so cannot understand why baec will not find the destination in their search which is Seychelles. I searched qatar for next Jan, flights there from LON.
Hi Adam, The BAEC search has some irritating quirks. This tip from Milevalue sometimes works http://www.milevalue.com/the-big-trick-for-searching-ba-com/ , but sadly doesn't seem to be much good for the Seychelles. You might be able to check availability on the Qatar site, or maybe the Qantas one too - but you'd have to ring BA anyway too book with Avios, so could be best just doing that (believe me, I know how annoying phoning BA is... so I don't suggest that lightly!). Make sure you tell them that you can't book online and they should drop the phone booking charge.
