Award route card · one-way
Oman Air, SalamAir and IndiGo fly HYD–MCT nonstop, but none is a tracked chart. The single chartable seat is Maharaja's flat 12,000 economy via a Mumbai hub (HYD–BOM mainline, BOM–MCT on Air India Express). Economy only, and with no oneworld or Star nonstop there's no Avios or Aeroplan row — a thin board where the fixed 12,000 is the whole story.

| Program | Metal / routing | Points | Surcharge | All-in ₹ | vs play |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air India Maharaja Points | Air India via BOM (HYD-BOM-MCT, AI mainline + AIX one award — not Star Alliance), Value tier | 12,000 | — | ₹9,600 | the play |
| IndiGo BluChip | IndiGo nonstop — BluChip, dynamic (revenue-priced) | dynamic | — | — | — |
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.
Muscat is the flat 12,000-point Middle-East tier. AI mainline flies HYD-BOM and AIX flies BOM-MCT, so the routing is all AI/AIX metal — one Maharaja award at the zone rate, economy only (AIX narrowbody). Verify the connection prices at 12,000.

IndiGo flies HYD-MCT nonstop but BluChip has no chart — chips offset the fare at ~₹0.40-0.80 apiece, own metal only. Oman Air flies it too but its Sindbad program isn't reachable from an Indian card. The 12,000 Maharaja is the only planned points seat.
