    I had the opportunity to pay cash at check-in from Saudi Arabia to the United States.

    Do you only have American Airlines miles?

    If not, I booked through Qatar Airways directly and found plenty of saver space from Doha.

    You can transfer Membership Rewards points to Qatar, and the transfer process is pretty quick.

    Good luck!

    You can continue searching on American Airlines for another travel plan, like Doha to London to the United States with British Airways or American Airlines.

    The taxes would be approximately $330.

    It is a “Your Mileage May Vary” situation.

    You maybe able to upgrade with cash depending on availability but it is far from a guarantee.

    If it is an award ticket, you can keep searching until take off to find a business class option.

    Hi Linnie,

    Yes, it’s possible to upgrade to Qatar Airways Qsuites from Economy to Business Class, but it typically depends on availability and fare rules.

    Since you booked with points, you might need to contact Qatar Airways directly or check their website to see if they offer a cash upgrade option.

    Sometimes, you can request an upgrade at check-in or through their customer service.

    Safe travels!
