The business jet subsidiary of Qatar Airways is now offering those who book directly with Qatar Executive, earning four Avios for every one USD spent, which means they will be able to receive four complementary tier upgrades.

Furthermore, members can now also choose to experience the luxury of Qatar Executive by paying for their flight, either in full or part with Avios. We look forward to seeing our members benefit from this fruitful collaboration."
