QA flies to London, Paris and Frankfurt. You could then take a train. The easiest train connection would be Paris - Amsterdam. TGV - bullit train!

If that

is where you are going to. Where in Holland are you going? Also KLM has some cheap offers. Check their website. Maybe if you find a good deal, depending if you travel before the summer....you might want to keep your QA miles for an other trip.

I think the flights I saw were KLM.

I was suggesting that you use miles to fly roundtrip from Doha to Frankfurt.

Then book seperately a trip from Frankfurt to Amsterdam. Either by plane or train.

That would allow you to use your miles for the most expensive part of the flight. You would only pay for the flights between Frankfurt and Amsterdam, which should be cheaper.

Just be careful with scheduling. Make sure you have time to connect and get to your flight to Amsterdam.

Sounds great, but I didn't understand the second part, how should I go from frankfurt to Amesterdam, should I use lufthansa or something, what about the train? do you think it is a good option?

if you don't mind a stop-over I think you could fly to Frankfurt with your miles and then take a quick (just over 1 hour) flight for about QR 650. I don't know if that will help you at all but I just thought I'd share my experience.
