Roame.travel Adds Qatar Airways Search: A Game-Changer for Avios Bookings

Great news for points enthusiasts! Roame.travel has just added Qatar Airways Privilege Club award availability to their search engine, marking a significant enhancement to their already impressive tool. As someone who regularly books Avios redemptions, this development is particularly exciting for accessing Qatar Airways' extensive network and renowned QSuite business class product.

Beyond the US-Centric Examples

While initial promotional materials highlighted routes like:

• New York to Maldives (85,000 points)

• Chicago to Maldives (85,000 points)

• Houston to Bangkok (95,000 points)

I've found the tool particularly useful for searching Doha-London routes, opening up numerous possibilities for UK travelers (ignore the Avios amount though, the transfer bonus is US-only sadly).

What I Found for London Routes

Testing the system for London flights, I was able to quickly find multiple business class options between Doha and London Heathrow. The availability shown matches what you'd find through Qatar's own website, but with a much more user-friendly interface.

This is particularly valuable when you consider that Qatar Airways often releases more award space to their own program compared to partner airlines. Using our Avios Balance Booster calculator, you can compare whether it's better to purchase Avios through British Airways Executive Club or Qatar Airways Privilege Club to spend on these routes.

Tips for Using Roame.travel for UK Flights

Having experimented with the tool, here are my top tips:

1. Use the flexible date search for better availability

2. Set up alerts for specific dates you're interested in

3. Compare prices with our How Many Avios Points for a Flight calculator to ensure you're getting the best value vs British Airways

Looking Forward

While Roame.travel's initial announcement focused on US routes, it's clear that the tool has much broader applications. For UK travelers, it's becoming an invaluable resource for finding Qatar Airways availability, particularly useful when planning trips to Asia and Australia via Doha.
