00:00 - American Airlines' website is the best place to search for Qatar Airways awards, even if you're not going to be using American Airline Miles.
00:28 - Searching in one-ways makes it much easier to find award availability. (To take it a step further, Greg starts by just searching flights to Doha, Qatar Airways' hub.)
01:35 - By searching for a flight to Doha, then filtering the calendar view by "Nonstop only", you're essentially limiting all the flight results to just Qatar Airways.
02:18 - Pay attention to the taxes and fees of the flight you select on the American Airlines calendar. Very high fees may indicate a British Airways flight instead.
04:19 - Once you found an acceptable flight, you can use Google Flights to see whether or not that flight will have an "individual seat". This will likely mean it's in QSuites, though this is not guaranteed. In part because Qatar has other individual-suite products, and in part because the aircraft can always be changed last minute.
06:35 - If you want to search for flights beyond Doha, you can enter the destination you have in mind, then filter the American Airlines' calendar by "1 stop or fewer" instead. The assumption here is that Doha is the first stop, and your destination is the second.
07:26 - Even though American Airlines' site is the easiest to start with for finding general availability, (especially to their hub of Doha) if you can't find anything for destinations beyond that, it may be worth searching on Qatar Airways' own site, (or a different partner's site), since American Airlines may not have access to all the flights you'd find elsewhere. As an example, Greg first found availability from Chicago to Doha on American Airlines' site for a specific date in June, but when he tried to find options for Chicago to Maldives instead, the June options disappeared. That's when he recommended going to QatarAirways.com and BritishAirways.com to see if the June dates he'd found for Doha on AA.com show additional options (like Chicago to Maldives) on QatarAirways.com or AA.com.
09:11 - Qatar Airways can be booked by transferring points from Chase, American Express, Capital One, Citi, AND Bilt, (some of those, by transferring to British Airways, which is a partner of Qatar Airways.)
