Qatar from UK to US (via DOH)

Hi,

I'm trying to book a flight from London to JFK, via DOH, to see if there are any interesting prices (this is for a Tier Point run for BAEC). But the QR website isn't giving me any options, and neither are GF or ITA. Is there a specific non-compete clause for QR against the TATL JBA of oneworld?

Separate flights are prohibitive so that's not an option, even if they joined them up.

Thanks.

Most likely they just don't file fares for illogical routings

A non-compete clause is very unlikely as would get them and the JV in trouble with competition authorities

There are some EU-DOH-USA routings that can be booked, occasionally at attractive prices. ATH-DOH-JFK is one that QR will sell.

You will find routes to the Americas via DOH filed from Eastern Europe departure points, but not as far east as London. If there is no fare only filed, the way to do this would be to join two returns together, ie. Lon-Doh, and doh-jfk, but it won't be cost effective.

Might be more successful looking at something like EU-DOH-India India-DOH-USA
