Looking at options for booking a future QR business class ticket with Avios points. When I search for the outbound flight (USA-DOH-JRO), it looks like I would need 170K Avios points (plus ~$200USD). When performing this search, it shows three columns (Economy/Business/First)
But for the return flight (KGL-DOH-MIA), a calendar shows up for the month, showing availability for the entire month, but not broken down by class of service. For example, 22-JUL-2024 is showing 85000 Avios Flexi on the calendar. Since I have an Avios balance of zero (planning on transferring in AMEX Membership rewards points to pay for these), the website will not let me move forward. So I cannot tell what class of service the 85K points is getting me.

Any suggestions? Or can anyone with points run a quick search for KGL-MIA on 22-JUL-2024 and see what the 85K provides?

Thanks!

It's not about the Avios balance, I see the same screen:

Can you go forward from there and select a flight? I cannot.

Nope.

Thanks. Looks like perhaps I need to call in to book this. Maybe because first leg is operated by a partner airline (RwandAir)

Must be something to do with the KGL-DOH leg indeed.

The DOH-MIA leg is only available in Y though (for 47,500), so that 85k must be a Y pricing, since there is no J or F available. on 22/07.

A Flexi DOH-MIA in J would be something like ~130,000 anyway, so 85k for that trip is only ever going to be Y.

Thanks for this. I am doing some VERY preliminary planning (for travel in 2025), so these are test points. Seems like I will need to call to book something like this (with the partner segment involved). Your data points help set expectations for point requirements for J.
