Our take on this route
Lucknow → Dubai priced from Lucknow, not redirected to Delhi: 20 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 22,500 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 15,000. Air India flies LKO–DEL/BOM (Star feed); Oman Air nonstop to Muscat is Lucknow’s oneworld door; Saudia flies to Jeddah, and Air India Express, IndiGo, flydubai and SalamAir carry the rest of the Gulf. Programs whose alliance does not touch Lucknow are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

The April-2026 Maharaja Club chart is a FLAT DESTINATION-REGION tier, not distance — so Lucknow pays exactly what Delhi pays to Dubai, provided both legs stay on Air India Group metal (LKO–DEL domestic, then DEL–DXB).

Aeroplan charges TOTAL DISTANCE FLOWN, so this row is banded on the realistic LKO–DEL–DXB routing (2,606 km) rather than the 2,552 km great circle: the Star itinerary out of Lucknow connects at Delhi. A longer routing can bump the band up one step. A CA$39 partner booking fee applies.
