Qatar Airways has signed a partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts to launch a series of initiatives for business travel through their respective corporate travel programmes.
Together, Qatar Airways’ Beyond Business and
IHG Business Edge will offer integrated loyalty benefits through mutual point
earning and redemption opportunities across IHG’s global hospitality footprint
for programme members.
Beyond Business offers
several benefits to corporate travellers, including the ability to earn and
redeem Qrewards, Privilege Club tier offers, priority baggage, and the option
to offset carbon emissions for past and future flights through Qatar Airways’
voluntary carbon offset programme.
It also provides
tailored solutions for companies to maximise savings on their travel budget
based on their travel spend.
Members can now enjoy
exclusive rewards when they enrol in IHG Business Edge at no cost. After their
first qualifying stay, members receive an instant upgrade to IHG One Rewards
Gold Elite Status, access guaranteed discounts at over 6,800 IHG hotels worldwide,
and earn 40% more points with every eligible stay.
IHG’s long-standing
travel programme, IHG Business Edge, has been a trusted solution since its
launch in 2018, now serving tens of thousands of enrolled business accounts
globally and making it even easier to manage business travel and enjoy greater
value.
Tailored for small and
medium sized enterprises, the programme offers streamlined booking, exclusive
rates, and loyalty benefits to all members.
Additionally, IHG
Business Edge members joining the Beyond Business programme will receive 50,000
bonus Qrewards on their first flight with Qatar Airways that can be redeemed
for flights, upgrades and a range of additional benefits.
Qatar Airways Chief
Commercial Officer, Thierry Antinori, said: “Recognised as the World’s
Best Business Class by Skytrax in 2025 for the 12th time, Qatar
Airways continually seeks to enhance its corporate travel experience and
rewards. We are proud to facilitate businesses and corporate entities through
our partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts and their IHG Business Edge
