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. That surcharge is the airline's own cash charge on an award — YQ, as the notes below call it — and it is not the fuel-surcharge waiver your credit card advertises: that one hands back a hundred rupees or two at a petrol pump, this one runs to tens of thousands and decides whether the award is worth taking at all. “Dynamic” and estimated (~… est.) rows never compete for the play — the crown is always a verified, bookable price. Feed-ins come from the same transfer data as the optimizer, multi-hop chains included.

Chart-priced, not live seats. These prices are read off each programme’s published award chart and valued at our own house ₹/point. 37% of the 39,855 priced options on the board are stated estimates for programmes that publish no chart; they are marked ~ est. and never crowned the play. Nobody here can see whether a seat exists on your date — confirm the space with the programme before you transfer. Points that leave your issuer do not come back.

The cash on top of the miles. Air France-KLM Flying Blue states that a carrier-imposed surcharge is charged on an award. Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards and American Airlines AAdvantage make you liable for one if the operating airline levies it, without saying whether it does. Air Canada Aeroplan states it adds none on its own metal. Government taxes and airport charges are payable in every case. Almost no programme publishes the amount, so the desk carries each one’s policy in its own words — on its programme hub — rather than a number nobody published. 2 other programmes priced here publish nothing the desk could read.

All Nippon Airways Star Alliance

All Nippon Airways own-metal Seattle→Tokyo. Figures are ANA's own published zone chart for ANA-operated flights, REGULAR season, halved from ANA's round-trip chart to a one-way equivalent (ANA still publishes round-trip; one-way is sold at exactly half). Low season runs roughly 8-12% cheaper and high season 5-10% dearer. ANA passes full carrier-imposed fuel surcharges on its own awards - heaviest on Europe and North America, lighter within Asia - so budget cash on top. First is listed only on the flagship 777-300ER 'The Suite' routes (London, Frankfurt, New York); ANA's chart prices First in other zones, but the metal on those routes has no First cabin.
