Qatar Airways Privilege Club has opened its November round of Privilege Deals. These are discounted Avios prices on award flights to a monthly list of cities. Qatar’s offers page headlines this round as “Save 25% on award flights” and says to book by 14 November 2026 and travel by 31 December 2026.
That gives you five days, and travel windows that cover the December school holidays.
This month’s Business Class list reads like a list of home routes for UAE residents: Colombo, Kathmandu, Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta are all on it. No UAE city is. Qatar flies from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah via Doha, so for a UAE member the question is whether the discount follows you onto the connecting sector. That is covered under “The rule” below.
What we verified
We read the Privilege Club special-offers page on 9 November 2026. Qatar lists the eligible destinations by cabin:
| Cabin | Eligible destinations |
|---|---|
| Business | Bucharest, Colombo, Dar es Salaam, Jakarta, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Tbilisi |
| First | Amman, Beirut |
| Economy | Addis Ababa, Beirut, Cairo, Entebbe, Geneva, Oslo, Seychelles |
The page’s price tiles are all from Doha. These are the ones that matter most for UAE readers:
| Route from Doha | Cabin shown | From |
|---|---|---|
| Colombo | Business | 26,250 Avios |
| Kathmandu | Business | 26,250 Avios |
| Kuala Lumpur | Business | 37,500 Avios |
| Manila | Business | 45,000 Avios |
| Jakarta | Business | 45,000 Avios |
| Cairo | Economy | 9,750 Avios |
| Beirut | Economy | 9,750 Avios |
| Seychelles | Economy | 13,125 Avios |
Each tile’s booking link searches a one-way fare, so read these as one-way prices. Every tile shows the same sample dates, 7 to 13 November, and the price on your dates may differ.
There is one inconsistency on the page. The text lists Amman and Beirut as First Class destinations, but their tiles are labelled Business, from 29,250 Avios. Check the cabin on the booking screen before you move any Avios.
The rule that matters from the UAE
Head for Points covered the round on 7 November. It reports that the 25% discount applies to any trip that starts or ends in a listed city, not only to the Doha sector shown on the tile. Its own example is a Business Class award from Tbilisi to Zanzibar via Doha, priced at 45,000 Avios one way.
If that rule holds, a Business Class award from Dubai to Colombo or Kathmandu via Doha would also price at the discount this month. Qatar’s page does not state the rule in the text we read, so treat it as Head for Points’ reading. Price your own route on qatarairways.com before transferring anything.
Head for Points also reports three limits:
- The discount does not apply to Qatar’s higher-priced “Flexi” award seats.
- It covers Qatar-operated flights only.
- Privilege Deals cannot be booked through British Airways. Book at qatarairways.com.
It also warns that Business Class award space was hard to find this month, in the run-up to Christmas.
What it means for UAE members
- You fly home to Sri Lanka, Nepal, the Philippines, Malaysia or Indonesia. Search your home route from DXB, AUH or SHJ for December, in Business. The discount should show on the booking screen as a Privilege Deals rate. If it does not, the starts-or-ends rule has not applied to your route.
- You want a short break in Economy. Cairo and Beirut start at 9,750 Avios one way from Doha. Check the price from your UAE airport first.
- You would need to buy or transfer Avios. We do not publish a fils value for Qatar Avios, so price the Avios in AED and compare it with the cash fare before you commit. The Qatar Privilege Club hub lists the UAE cards that earn them.
Taxes and carrier charges are added on top of the Avios price, and the offers page does not show them. Previous rounds: October and September.
Verified 9 November 2026 against Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club offers page: deadlines, headline discount, eligible destinations by cabin, and Avios prices from Doha. The starts-or-ends rule and the Flexi, partner and ba.com exclusions come from Head for Points, as marked, and Qatar has not confirmed them.
