The big question should be:
Can Avios collectors redeem early, from October 1st, given that Qatar Privilege Miles collectors will be able to book BA rewards from October 1st?
Would be nice to have a go at Qatar's award availability ahead of all the other oneworld partners.

Great news. Congratulations all round for making this happen in record speed. That IT task must have been (probably still is) massive.
Now, what should we do with those 50,000 QR miles we have lying around which were about to expire.

QR's Platinum tier looks decent. Self and 2 guests for lounge access, AND 5 extra lounge passes per year.
Take note, BA.

You are right. I thought double miles on MH were offered from day 1. Much better if they follow the same scheme because it would cover the entire Christmas holiday period.
