Roughly 6,910 miles separate Washington, D.C.'s Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Doha's Hamad International Airport (DOH), so a nonstop spends about 14h25 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: Qatar Airways. The Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-300ER both appear on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 8% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
On an ultra-long-haul trip like Washington, D.C.–Doha, pick the cabin before the program. The economy floor is a partner booking on a Qatar Airways nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Expect about $28 in taxes and fees on top, below the route's typical economy taxes. Measured against economy, premium economy is about 1.6 times the points and business about double. Transfers out of bank programs can't be reversed, so confirm the exact flight is bookable first.
Alaska Atmos Rewards takes economy at 35,000 points and premium economy at 55,000. Qatar Airways Privilege Club is cheapest in business class at 70,000 points on a Qatar Airways nonstop. First class starts at 240,000 points through Etihad Guest on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Among the remaining five programs, Avianca LifeMiles, United MileagePlus, and American AAdvantage are good places to cross-check.
The data has one nonstop award carrier on Washington, D.C.–Doha: Qatar Airways. Its oneworld membership means alliance partners can sell that seat too, not only Qatar Airways Privilege Club. For connecting options, the better-priced awards in the data connect in London, Abu Dhabi, and Frankfurt. The lowest premium-economy award here is a oneworld partner booking: British Airways seats through Alaska Atmos Rewards.
Leaving Washington, D.C., Baltimore (BWI) sits just above the floor at 40,000 points in economy, a fair fallback when Washington Dulles dates are stripped. Out of Washington, D.C., Amsterdam is a cheaper long-haul redemption at last check, from 12,000 points. Confirm the departure airport before transferring points, because Washington, D.C. awards can also leave from Washington (DCA).
