The cheapest round-trip business class to Japan on any chart — and the hardest currency in this whole index to actually get from India. No Indian card transfers to ANA; your only realistic door is a fat Marriott Bonvoy balance at 3:1 (2.4:1 once you count the 5,000-mile bonus per 60,000 transferred), so a 63,000-mile round-trip to Tokyo costs roughly 151,000 Bonvoy points. Awards are round-trip only, miles die hard at 36 months, and ANA passes Lufthansa/SWISS fuel surcharges — so book United, Air Canada or Singapore space to dodge the YQ. The legendary Round-the-World award? Star Alliance killed it on 23 June 2025.
₹/pt = (typical cash − surcharge) ÷ points, computed only from sourced numbers — the build
fails if a row's arithmetic doesn't. A dash means no honest cash anchor exists; the row's
note below says why. Dynamic-priced programs are framed as “typical”, never guaranteed.
Chart-priced, not live seats. Every corridor behind this page is priced off published award charts — 39,855 options across 2,450 corridors. 37% of the 39,855 priced options on the board are stated
estimates for programmes that publish no chart; they are marked ~ est. and never crowned the play. Nobody here can see
whether a seat exists on your date — confirm the space with the programme
before you transfer. Points that leave your issuer do not come back.
Row by row
India ↔ Japan, business round-trip (Star partner chart)
unpriced
ANA's flat, season-free partner chart: 63,000 miles ROUND-TRIP in business to Tokyo (economy 38,000 RT) — the cheapest round-trip business to Japan any currency here buys. Fly ANA metal DEL/BOM–NRT to avoid fuel surcharges. Round-trip only, so you commit both directions; no ₹/pt without a dated fare, but paid RT J India–Japan runs ₹2.5–4L.
Feed it: No direct Indian card — Marriott Bonvoy 3:1 (≈151k Bonvoy pts for this award) is the on-ramp; IHG 5:1 · Hilton 10:1 · Shangri-La Circle 1:1 the alternatives
India ↔ Europe, business round-trip (Star partner chart)
unpriced
94,000 miles ROUND-TRIP business Asia↔Europe (economy 59,000 RT) — about 47,000 each way, which reads cheap until the catch: flown on Lufthansa/SWISS/Austrian, ANA passes their heavy YQ (₹30k+), so route United or Air Canada Star space where you can. Only sane if you're already sitting on a six-figure Bonvoy balance.
Feed it: Marriott Bonvoy 3:1 (≈225k Bonvoy pts) · IHG 5:1 · Hilton 10:1 — no Indian card reaches ANA directly
India ↔ North America, business round-trip (Star partner chart)
unpriced
136,000 miles ROUND-TRIP business Asia↔North America (economy 80,000 RT) — 68,000 each way, no YQ on United/Air Canada metal. The Bonvoy entry cost (~326k points) is the real story: theoretically excellent, practically a route only for Marriott super-earners. The RTW award that once made this chart famous ended June 2025, so this is the long-haul that's left.
Feed it: Marriott Bonvoy 3:1 only realistic Indian route (≈326k Bonvoy pts) · IHG 5:1 · Hilton 10:1
No Indian card transfers into ANA Mileage Club directly.
None of the 40 destinations our issuers actually reach — tracked in data/transfer-partners.yaml — is this program, so there is no
direct ratio to print. The road in is a hop, and this is it: every chain the optimizer will actually walk, best chain per source currency, cheapest to mint first.
