Qatar Airways now partners with JetBlue

[Mattg]

Looks like Qatar Airways and JetBlue launched a new partnership earlier this month which includes reciprocal award redemptions.

This could be an interesting new option for people with Avios (or Amex points that can be converted to Avios) to book JetBlue flights, especially their trans-Atlantic Mint product.

That said, I tried to search for award availability on the QR website and got an error message. I'd be interested to know if anyone is successfully able to book a QR Privilege Club award ticket on JetBlue?

According to Ben:

”For a couple of days, it was possible to book JetBlue awards directly on Qatar Airways’ website. Unfortunately that’s no longer the case. Qatar Airways has removed the ability to directly redeem for JetBlue through its website, and customer service advises that “redemptions on JetBlue are on hold until further notice due to technical issues” and because Qatar’s “systems are being updated.”

Qatar Airways Pulls Plug On JetBlue Awards?

Qatar Airways Privilege Club seems to have pulled award redemptions on JetBlue. What exactly is going on here?

So I am due to fly with Jetblue in Mint in April LAX-BOS, then NYC-YVR. I am finding it difficult to calculate the points I will earn using Jetblue membership versus accruing Avios points on these flight for a trip I am planning to Europe in 2026. Any idea how I can compare these options?
