Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Qatar Airways are expanding their strategic partnership, enhancing codeshare connectivity and linking their loyalty programs to allow passengers to earn and redeem miles across both networks.
Starting June 1, 2026, PAL will place its “PR” code on Qatar Airways flights from Manila, Cebu, Clark and Davao to Doha and beyond. The agreement connects travelers to more than 20 major European cities, including Paris, Rome, and Frankfurt via Hamad International Airport.
In turn, Qatar Airways will place its “QR” code on PAL domestic flights. The reciprocal arrangement allows international travelers arriving in Manila and Cebu to access local leisure destinations, including Caticlan and Puerto Princesa.
The partnership also integrates Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club and PAL’s Mabuhay Miles. Privilege Club members can now collect and spend Avios on PAL routes across Australasia, Southeast Asia, the United States, and domestic destinations. Meanwhile, Mabuhay Miles members can collect and spend miles across Qatar Airways’ global network, which includes destinations in Africa and Europe.
The agreement marks Privilege Club’s 26th airline partnership and expands its footprint in Southeast Asia. Members can use Avios for travel rewards including flights, upgrades, direct bookings with Qatar Executive, and lifestyle packages. Mabuhay Miles members can similarly redeem rewards across travel, retail, and dining partners.
The collaboration brings together two highly rated carriers. Cirium recognized PAL as Asia-Pacific’s Most Punctual Airline for 2025, while Skytrax voted Qatar Airways as The World’s Best Airline in 2025. Qatar Airways also received the Platinum performance recognition from Cirium for operational reliability this year.
