Our take on this route
Air Arabia and Air India Express fly Thiruvananthapuram–Sharjah nonstop, but the fixed prices come from Qatar via Doha, a connection that stays on the way. The cheapest verified business seat on this route is 30,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 17,500. Avios prices the same Qatar routing segment by segment at 21,000 / 57,000. Maharaja Club books the Air India Express nonstop at its flat Middle-East economy tier, and AirRewards offsets Air Arabia's fare; both of those are estimates.

Air India Maharaja Points
Economy: ~12,000 est. points
Air India Express nonstop (TRV–SHJ, not Star Alliance), Value tier
Air India Express
Sharjah sits on the flat 12,000-point Middle-East tier, and Air India Express flies TRV–SHJ nonstop, so the award prices at the zone rate on IX metal. Economy only: Air India Express flies no business cabin and Air India mainline does not serve Sharjah, so there is no Maharaja business seat to Sharjah from Thiruvananthapuram.
Estimate: Air India publishes no award chart. How we estimate Air India Maharaja Points

Air Arabia AirRewards
Economy: ~15,000 est. points
Air Arabia nonstop into its own Sharjah hub — AirRewards, fixed fare offset
Air Arabia
AirRewards is a fixed fare offset, not a chart: 100 points = US$1 against any seat, no blackouts, Cash+Points allowed (min 3,000 points to redeem). Points needed = the day's fare, so this is never a sweet spot, only a way to spend a balance. Mind the hard 24-month expiry.
Estimate: AirRewards is revenue-linked (100 pts = US$1), not a chart; ~= a typical one-way TRV-SHJ Air Arabia economy fare ~AED550 (~US$150) x100, read off published fare trackers on 2026-10-07; moves 1:1 with the live fare and runs far higher at festival and school-holiday peaks.
