Flight Experience
Qatar Airways Qsuites provides one of the top two business class seats in the sky complete with direct aisle access and a privacy door. Occasionally, Qatar will swap out an aircraft with their Qsuites product so keep an eye on the cabin layout.
You'll have plenty of space to relax, sip on some fancy champagne, and enjoy a nice meal. Of course, if you need anything the crews have a great reputation for being more than happy to help.
Award bookings in business class on Qatar Airways have lounge access. You can visit the Al Mourjan Lounge or the new Al Mourjan Lounge at The Garden. You can also pay to visit the Al Safwa first class lounge.

Best Ways To Book
Avios: More Dates, Great Rate
With Qatar Privilege Club, you can book up to 360 days from departure. With BA Executive Club, you can book up to ~355 days from departure. In fact, beyond 331 days out, Avios are often your only option to book.
Fortunately, you can access these programs if you have Amex, Bilt, Capital One, Chase, or Citi points.
Please note that while BA's award rates often match Qatar's, that's not always the case. You can use Qatar's Calculator to check the award rate for an origin/destination pairing for using Qatar Avios - especially useful when connecting.
You can link your British Airways and Qatar accounts then move Avios between them by selecting Combine Avios.
JetBlue: Solid Nonstop Option
JetBlue provides a solid way to book at 70,000 points from the east coast. Just keep in mind that Amex transfers are not 1:1 and thus a poor choice.

Final Thoughts
Whether you want to visit the the Maldives, South Africa, or somewhere else, Qsuites is a great way to get there. With how tough it can be to book with partners these days, I hope you can take advantage of the option to book with Avios and lock in the award space early.
Happy Booking!
