Members of Qatar Airways Privilege Club (QRPC)
can now collect and spend Avios at almost 200 outlets at
Hamad International Airport (HIA) in partnership with Qatar Duty
Free (QDF).
Passengers will also be rewarded with Avios points upon check-in
at all departure points, which will
be credited up to 120 minutes before flights leave.
Avios can be used in an expansive range
of luxury fashion and dining outlets at
HIA, which has recently launched a major expansion featuring
a luxury shopping hub “Orchard” set in a tropical garden.
Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive,
said, “We have enhanced and
upgraded our redemption options for our loyalty members and we are
enabling access to a truly unique airport shopping and dining
experience. A first in the world initiative, this demonstrates our
commitment for going the extra mile when enhancing the quality of
our offerings by providing members with a seamless experience. We
encourage everyone travelling through HIA to avail themselves of
this experience and opportunity as there has never been an easier
way to collect and spend Avios.”
Avios is the reward currency of Qatar Airways
Privilege Club and preferred currency of the airline.
Members earn Avios when they or their nominated family members
fly with Qatar Airways, oneworld airlines, plus QR’s airline
partners.
Avios can also be collected with more than 100 global
partners and co-branded payment cards, and can be spent in
multiple ways, with the most recent enhancement being shopping and
dining at Qatar Duty Free.
Avios can also be
used in conjunction with cash offering a part payment option.
