Side note: am I the only one who thinks it’s odd that QR flies to Atlanta and Houston but NOT to Charlotte and Phoenix? (The latter two are AA hubs, while the first two are not)
@@upgradedtravels ATL and IAH must have a lot of terminating traffic (or at least more than CLT and PHX can provide in terminating AND connecting traffic combined).
Generally speaking, some loyalty programs allow you to “pay” for the points difference with cash and some don’t. However, it is almost never a good deal to pay cash for the difference because they will charge you at a much higher rate. Therefore, the best thing to do is still have enough points for the entire redemption.

Maybe they don’t see enough demand for Charlotte and Phoenix. I believe Atlanta and Houston are much bigger markets.

What if you don't have enough points? Will that be added on the taxes or fees oor you need to buy additional miles?

Very helpful! Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Doha is an interesting destination, but where else would you recommend visiting from there?
Could be anywhere. Doha is Qatar Airways main hub and they fly to many destinations in Europe and Asia. One popular destination is the Maldives.
