You can easily check QR availability using united.com. These particular flights you are looking for are not available.

The UA site seems to be a bit messed up now with QR flights.. I put a QR itinerary on hold awhile ago then went to ticket.. it said pending but never ticketed and eventually the QR segments disappeared from my itin!! and now they are not available. I tried booking another QR itinerary but UA site is erroring out. UA agents say they can't see QR availability.

Go back to the UA site and try booking the itinerary as two one-ways. Sometimes you can avoid the errors that way.

The US Mileage Plus site appears grossly inaccurate. I called UA to verify availability of a business class saver award for the below itinerary but UA said they couldn't "pull up" any Qatar flights in their computer. I then emailed Alex, who appears to be the Qatar customer service Guru on these boards, but received no reply. I then emailed using the address recommended on these boards and still no reply. I sent a 3rd email to customer service using the address on the Qatar web site and still no reply. Given this totally unresponsive attitude, I can't imagine why anyone would fly would them!

Since UA has ended their partnership with Qatar, what is the best way now to check award availability? Thanks.

Alex,
Since the UA website doesn't show QR First ever being available, but you've mentioned that you haven't closed off availability to it, can UA agents do a "long sell"?

Any update on how I can check Qatar award availability online?

I tried to check it on the Qatar site with no results. I have a Qatar account with 0 miles for a few year, when I try to check I just get kicked back to the screen to enter the information on the flights I want to search... I can never get any results... maybe it is because of 0 miles in my account.

Is there any other way to search?

Thanks
Ron

What is the best way to check Qatar award availabilty? Planning to transfer AMEX points to ANA and use them for Qatar awards. Routing is IAH-DOH-HYD.

lewinr

I got no response to my query.
I assume there may be no easy way to check, other than asking somebody with enough Qmiles to check for you.
Or call ANA and ask them to check. (That's what I finally did.) I was disappointed that there were almost no seats available for miles. Looks like a difficult program to redeem seats.

texmanufan

Just curious. What class and time frame were you checking? Thought using ANA account would be the best way to get me to SEZ on QR but now I am not sure.

n8onUA

I'm looking at the same thing...did you ever find any answers? Were you able to find a way to search QR? I even have ExpertFlyer but QR not on there.

aboerr

If you post exact route, cabin class and dates maybe I can check for you. I just spent almost all my miles, so I can't go all the way and give you taxes and fees, but I can still see availability it seems...

I can also check for you using QR's own award booking tool. I do also believe I have enough to go all the way and check fees etc. You can also send me a PM if you don't want to reveal your dates etc.
