No Business Class Qatar reward availability to DXB from the UK?

[nwoody2001]

I dont know if its a glitch or just me, but im looking to fly from the UK to DXB with Avios in Business Class from either MAN or BHX and Qatar is the obvious answer… 50k Avios with QR or 80k Avios with BA… QR is the obvious winner!

But having looked on the QR website I can’t find any Biz Class Reward availability from ANY UK airport to DXB from this Summer onwards…

Availability from BHX/MAN – DOH = Yes (43k Avios)
Availability from DOH – DXB = Yes (21k Avios)
Availability from BHX/MAN – DXB on the BA Website = yes, but randomly costing between 70-80k avios…

But i put the above dates i find on the BA website into the QR website, nothing!

Anyone else experiencing this, all seems a little odd.

Full availability for reward bookings in Economy BHX/MAN – DXB for the standard Avios prices but zero for Business Class. Any ideas?

Have you tried searching to Sharjah or Abu Dhabi?

With the former, I reckon it’s no slower than navigating your way from T1 and through to DXB arrivals!

Dxb-doh-lhr was showing at the start of the year for October but we went with an expiring 241 and the direct BA flight overnight.
