Award flight · one-way

Kolkata to Dhaka on points

CCU → DAC great-circle 239 km · 149 mi — Kolkata's shortest international hop, ~1 hour 1 program priced as of

The shortest international flight out of Kolkata — and, surprisingly, one no award chart reaches. Biman, US-Bangla and IndiGo split the nonstop; none is a oneworld or Star carrier, so the cheap Avios Zone-1 you'd expect on a 149-mile hop simply doesn't exist, and Air India flies no metal to detour onto. IndiGo's BluChip tracks the fare; everything else is a cash ticket. Honest absence, not a gap in our data.

Every economy option on this corridor is dynamic-priced — no honest number to crown. The rows below say what we know.

Program Metal / routing Points Surcharge All-in ₹ vs play
IndiGo BluChip IndiGo nonstop — BluChip, dynamic (revenue-priced) ~7,000 est. — ₹3,500 —

All-in ₹ = points × the program's house value (valuation index) + the sourced one-way surcharge; a dash means the carrier doesn't publish it and the ranking counts it ₹0 — the row's note carries the caveat. That surcharge is the airline's own cash charge on an award — YQ, as the notes below call it — and it is not the fuel-surcharge waiver your credit card advertises: that one hands back a hundred rupees or two at a petrol pump, this one runs to tens of thousands and decides whether the award is worth taking at all. “Dynamic” and estimated (~… est.) rows never compete for the play — the crown is always a verified, bookable price. Feed-ins come from the same transfer data as the optimizer, multi-hop chains included.

Chart-priced, not live seats. These prices are read off each programme’s published award chart and valued at our own house ₹/point. 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.

IndiGo nonstop — BluChip, dynamic (revenue-priced)

IndiGo

IndiGo flies CCU–DAC nonstop and BluChips offset the fare at roughly ₹0.40–0.60 apiece (min 500), own metal only. Biman and US-Bangla fly it too but neither runs an Indian-feedable program, and no oneworld or Star carrier is on the route — so no Avios band, no partner award. On a one-hour, low-fare hop that's fine: it was always a cash flight.

Estimate IndiGo BluChip is revenue-linked ~Rs0.50/pt; ~= typical one-way IndiGo economy fare / Rs0.50 for ~149 mi - a rupee offset that moves 1:1 with the live fare. Own-metal only, no partners.
