Successfully combined QR and BA Avios accounts today and transferred points. I found logging out, closing browser, restarting the computer (just to be sure) and logging back in cleared the "Not Enough Avios" error.

I was able to advance an award ticket booking for a mixed class award ticket up until the passenger information screen.

After clicking next on the passenger information screen, I get an error page that says "No lounges to purchase" and " We are not able to confirm your selected flights. Please resubmit your request (15079 - 457 - 421)".

Called Privilege Club and they were zero help. Any ideas? Agent said Privilege Club cannot do award ticket bookings over the phone, is this true?

BA does not show DOH -> GCC Country availability in First Class. It defaults to Economy class.

QR flies to GCC? Isn’t that a small regional airport?

Who cares? QR are putting QSuite on CRJ-200s and GCC is getting an Al Safwa lounge.

GCC Country = Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), political and economic alliance of six Middle Eastern countries—Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman

If you are booking lets say USA -> DOH -> GCC Country and search for Business/First class award availability on BA, BA often puts the long-haul in Business and the short-haul in Economy with no way to change that. If you search on Qatar, Qatar is able to ticket the long-haul in Business and the short-haul in First. I faced the same issue with Alaska when trying to book Qatar awards on Alaska,

I am still having issues with this. Trying to find CPT-SEZ one way but don't want to transfer all my Amex MR to Avios unless there is availability. I do not see an award button when trying to just book revenue. There is a Book an award flight button but it does nothing for me it just refreshes and the prices are still in cash not avios. Any ideas?

Transfer just 1 Avios and you will be able to see Award availability on the, "My Calculator " page.

I have 11000 pts. It just shows this and then I hit redeem it goes to.....

This page which spits out the error.

I don't know why it's so hard but also I have no idea why I can't get it to work like you all have. I'm not usually technologically challenged lol. Thanks again for your help hopefully I can sort it out.

I have zero avios in my QR account.

I go to the generic home page, login to privilege club which returns me to the home page but in a logged in state.
I then search for the flight you're looking at, which brings up prizes in ZAR. Then I hit "Book an award flight" at the top and it takes me to the award search. I searched for today's date as it looks like you're looking to travel soon?

Are the 11,000 Avios in your Qatar account and not BA account? After linking, you need to transfer at least 1 Avios into the Qatar account. Once you do that, you shouldn't get that error. Alternatively, log-in to your account and go to the main website. Under the booking dates, you will now see a box that you check which states book an award flight or similar. If you don't see that box, it means the account does not have at least 1 Avios.

Thanks for the tips here. Worked by transferring 1 Avios to Qatar. How do I book 3 round trip + infant lap tickets but have pts/award space to book 3 one ways?

If I add infant to the search it shows 0 available but if I add 3 adults, it shows all 3 award space available. Booking separate one ways is more expensive cash price. Confused how to approach this.
