Our take on this route

Delhi → Hanoi became an Air India nonstop on 1 May 2026, and that one flight is what makes this a Star Alliance route: Aeroplan books it on a fixed distance band, and Maharaja's flat Southeast-Asia tier covers the economy cabin. Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur carries the oneworld region award, and Vietnam Airlines' own nonstop the dynamic Flying Blue estimate. 21 priced ways to buy the seat; estimates never take the crown.

Air India Maharaja Points

Economy: ~12,000 est. points

Air India nonstop (DEL–HAN), own metal — Maharaja Southeast Asia tier

Air India Star Alliance

Air India launched Delhi–Hanoi on 1 May 2026 (5x weekly, A320neo), its second Vietnam gateway after Ho Chi Minh City. Business on the Southeast-Asia tier is unpublished for Vietnam, so only economy is listed.

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 April-2026 Southeast-Asia Value-fare floor the desk samples on Delhi–Ho Chi Minh City and Delhi–Singapore, carried to Hanoi because the chart prices a flat destination-region tier — not a published Hanoi cell: Value space is not always available on a given flight, and the same seat prices higher once it is gone.
