Economy the play 7,500 pts Oman Air nonstop CCJ-MCT (oneworld partner award), India→the Gulf — Alaska Atmos
Oman Air oneworld
Oman Air flies CCJ-MCT nonstop, ~1,446 miles, and Alaska Atmos bands partner awards by distance flown — the Asia-Pacific chart's sub-1,500-mile band: 7,500 economy / 15,000 business one-way, plus the $20 partner booking fee per person each way (up from $12.50 on 1-Jul-2026). One-way.
Feed it: 22,500 Amex Membership Rewards (3:1 via Marriott Bonvoy) · 45,000 RBL Reward Points (6:1 via Club ITC → Marriott Bonvoy) · 15,000 RBL Reward Points (Nova/Lumière) (2:1 via Club ITC → Marriott Bonvoy)
Air India Express nonstop (CCJ–MCT) — not Star Alliance, Value tier
Air India Express
Maharaja Points book Air India Express metal at the same flat region tier. Business is omitted because IX flies a single-class 737 — there is no cabin to price.
Estimate Air India publishes no award chart. Its own Points Calculator states that “Fares indicated above are dependent on the time of booking and seat availability”, and Maharaja Club prices every award either as a Value fare (the discounted rate for booking well in advance) or as a higher Prime fare closer to departure. This number is the Value-fare floor as sampled after the April-2026 repricing — not a published chart cell: Value space is not always available on a given flight, and the same seat prices higher once it is gone. Pricing model re-verified against Air India’s Maharaja Club T&C and Points Calculator on 2026-08-09.
Feed it: 12,000 IndusInd Reward Points (1:1) · 6,000 Axis EDGE Miles (1:2) · 12,000 ICICI Reward Points (1:1)
Oman Air nonstop — Sindbad six-band chart (own metal, verified from the airline's calculator)
Oman Air oneworld
Sindbad six-band own-metal chart, one-way per sector, harvested from Oman Air's own mileage-calculator endpoint 2026-07-26 (spec: docs/research/hub-grid/specs/oman-air-sindbad.json). Reward tickets exclude taxes and carrier surcharges. Oman Air joined oneworld 30-Jun-2025 but publishes no partner chart — this row prices WY metal only.

Qatar Airways via DOH (CCJ–DOH–MCT), oneworld — AAdvantage region award
Qatar Airways oneworld
AAdvantage prices partner awards on a fixed region-to-region chart, so the connection costs no extra miles. Qatar Airways's CCJ–DOH nonstop is what makes Kozhikode a oneworld city at all.
Feed it: 52,500 Amex Membership Rewards (3:1 via Marriott Bonvoy) · 105,000 RBL Reward Points (6:1 via Club ITC → Marriott Bonvoy) · 35,000 RBL Reward Points (Nova/Lumière) (2:1 via Club ITC → Marriott Bonvoy)
Qatar Airways via DOH (CCJ–DOH–MCT), oneworld — two segments, band-priced
Qatar Airways oneworld
Avios prices each segment separately and sums them: CCJ–DOH plus DOH–MCT, both inside the published post-15-Dec-2025 band table. The cheap-cash side of the Avios family. Segments beyond 3,000 miles have no published post-devaluation band, which is why longer Avios routings out of Kozhikode are omitted rather than guessed.
Feed it: 19,000 HDFC Reward Points (1:1) · 38,000 Amex Membership Rewards (2:1) · 19,000 HSBC Reward Points (1:1)
