Our take on this route
Chennai → Perth has no nonstop on any airline, so every seat is a one-stop and the connection is the decision: Singapore Airlines via Changi for Aeroplan and KrisFlyer, Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur for the AAdvantage region award, with Qatar via Doha and Cathay via Hong Kong as the other oneworld doors. Aeroplan bands on distance actually flown, not the great circle. No SkyTeam airline serves Perth, so no SkyTeam programme is listed. 20 priced ways to buy the seat; estimates never take the crown.
Programme by programme
What each programme charges, which airline flies the seat, and the chart we read it from. 6 of the 20 prices are estimates for programmes that publish no chart.
