At about 6,690 miles from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Doha's Hamad International Airport (DOH), a nonstop runs roughly 13h55, give or take with the winds. Qatar Airways carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 777-300ER shows up on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 14% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
On an ultra-long-haul trip like New York–Doha, pick the cabin before the program. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on Qatar Airways costs more. Watch the cash on the cheapest economy seat: about $281 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. Premium economy runs about double the economy price and business about 3.1 times. Flexible bank points can reach Etihad Guest; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Etihad Guest is cheapest in economy at 22,875 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards wins premium economy at 45,000 points and business class at 70,000. Etihad Guest's 211,225-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. Of the other six, Avianca LifeMiles, United MileagePlus, and American AAdvantage are worth a look too. Business class also prices as a partner award, with one airline's miles buying another airline's seat.
The data has one nonstop award carrier on New York–Doha: Qatar Airways. Its oneworld membership means alliance partners can sell that seat too, not only Qatar Airways Privilege Club. The cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in Frankfurt, London, and Abu Dhabi. The lowest premium-economy award here is a oneworld partner booking: British Airways seats through Alaska Atmos Rewards.
For New York departures, Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) both start at 40,000 points in economy, above the route's 22,875-point economy floor, and work as backups when JFK space is gone. For a lower-cost long-haul trip from New York, Amsterdam starts from 12,000 points at last check.
