Qatar Airways serves key destinations in the US including Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Houston (IAH), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK), Philadelphia (PHL), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), and Washington DC (IAD).

Customers from the US will benefit from the enhanced connectivity between JetBlue and Qatar Airways via New York. The three flights will therefore have connections from locations including Detroit, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, or Tampa, to Doha, Kathmandu, Bangkok, or Johannesburg. Members of both loyalty programmes – Qatar Airways Privilege Club and JetBlue TrueBlue – can earn miles from each other’s codeshare flights.

Owing to the codeshare expansion between Alaska Airlines and Qatar Airways, over the coming weeks, guests will be able to book more destinations beyond Doha on Alaska Airlines’ website.

Qatar Airways group chief executive, Akbar Al Baker, said, “We continue to offer seamless connectivity to our passengers from the US market and beyond with the support of our strategic partners. Our unwavering commitment to our longstanding US partners, American Airlines, JetBlue, and Alaska Airlines is built on our mission to connect the world through our hub to our 160 destinations and more.”
