Dhaka's quiet chart privilege. KrisFlyer files Bangladesh in Zone 6 with all of India, so the SQ nonstop prices exactly like Bengaluru–Singapore: 19,000 miles Saver in economy, 45,000 in business. This is the medical-and-business run — half of Gulshan seems to have a Singapore specialist — and for the NRI household ticketing family with Indian card points it's fully fundable: seven Indian issuers transfer into KrisFlyer, HDFC still at 1:1. Nobody else prints a number ex-Dhaka: Air India's April-2026 chart prices Dhaka only as a 10,000-point destination FROM India, and Emirates doesn't fly here. One chart, one play.

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. “Dynamic” rows never compete for the play. Feed-ins come from the same transfer data as the optimizer, multi-hop chains included.
45,000 Saver post-Nov-2025 (up from 43,000) — the same J seat four Indian metros fight over, ex-Dhaka. ~4¼ hours of widebody business for ₹49,500 of KrisFlyer; Saver space ex-DAC is thinner than ex-BLR, book at the 355-day window.

Zone 6 is "India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh" on the post-Nov-2025 chart, so Dhaka pays what Mumbai pays: 19,000 Saver (down from 20,000). ₹20,900 of miles at house value — check it against the cash fare before burning; taxes ex-DAC unpublished.
