Qatar Airways Business Class To Jordan
I'm loving this Qatar business class fare deal to Jordan. It's not everyday that you can grab a $2,200 ticket to the Middle East, especially in Qsuites. Like the recent deal to Egypt, you'll likely need to run a multi-city search, but it's worth it!
Now, let's get into it!

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. You'll have plenty of space to relax, sip on some fancy champagne, and enjoy a nice meal. The crews also have a great reputation for being more than happy to help.
P and R fare class tickets do not offer free seat selection. However, if you have Oneworld Sapphire or Emerald, you'll be able to select your seat.

Best Ways To Book
The Amex International Airline Program (IAP) is the way to go. You'll be able to save $200 or so compared to Expedia or another OTA. If you have the Amex Business Platinum and want to use points, the 35% rebate is great.
On the outbound, you'll likely need to search Montreal to Doha and Doha to Amman with an overnight in Doha. So, if you depart from Montreal on April 1, your flight from Doha to Amman should be on April 3. The return can be searched from Amman to Montreal.
Important
P fare class tickets will not have lounge access nor will they allow free seat selection.
R fare class tickets will allow lounge access.
The intra-region flights between Doha and Amman are A fare class and are considered first class so you'll get Al Safwa lounge access.
From Google Flights, select the Expedia option and you'll be able to check the fare class of each segment. Many dates are R fare class for the long-haul segments but you might find a P fare class so double check.

Where To Credit The Flights
You can use Where To Credit to check which options would earn the most redeemable miles or help you earn elite status.
For those who want earn redeemable miles, British Airways is probably the easiest option for most as you can transfer points from several bank programs. Alternatively, you could use this booking to earn American or Alaska miles and supplement with miles earned via a co-branded credit card.
Use GCMap to check the flight distance and calculate redeemable miles.

Final Thoughts
We don't see a ton of great Qatar Airways cash fares from the US these days. While still not quite as good as what we saw in 2021, this is a nice option if you're willing to put in a little work to run a multi-city search.
Happy booking!
