No Indian carrier sells Cairo on points, so this is a connection game and Doha wins it. Qatar via DOH prices 25,000 Avios economy / 49,000 business per-segment — both legs land inside BA's cheap distance zones — the tidiest published way an Indian card reaches North Africa. Aeroplan matches the distance band at 30,000/40,000 routing DEL–IST–CAI on Turkish, a Star alternative when you're minting Aeroplan through hotels. Emirates and Etihad both fly it via the Gulf but quote dynamic and won't be pinned. Avios is the sweet spot; everything else is a fallback. Board note: the last 4 gaps against cai-del are now filled by mirroring that direction's chart cells back — same cell, opposite direction — so those rows print as estimates and never wear the crown.

SETTLED 2026-07-22: KrisFlyer does NOT publish a fixed Saver to Southern Africa (Zone 6→10 is calculator-only), so the old "one chart wins outright" thesis was built on a mislabelled Singapore fare and is retracted. What genuinely prices: Qatar's Avios via DOH and Aeroplan on Ethiopian/partner metal via ADD — check those rows. KrisFlyer via SIN remains bookable but only the calculator knows the number, and the SIN backtrack makes it a poor bet. Board note: the last 4 gaps against jnb-del are now filled by mirroring that direction's chart cells back — same cell, opposite direction — so those rows print as estimates and never wear the crown.

Melbourne → Johannesburg on points: 8 options across three programs our cards can reach, and Aeroplan is the one to read carefully. It bands on distance FLOWN, not the 6,412-mile great circle — the only Star routing is Singapore Airlines via SIN at ~9,130 miles, which lands in the 7,001+ Atlantic–Pacific band at 75,000 economy and 130,000 business, but well above what the map suggests. AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart at 42,500/80,000 and Qantas flies the nonstop on its own distance table. All three are published charts, so THE PLAY here is a real number, not an estimate.

Ahmedabad → Mahé priced from Ahmedabad, not redirected to Delhi: 20 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 40,000 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 17,500. Air India flies AMD–DEL/BOM and its own AMD–London Gatwick (Star feed); Singapore Airlines is nonstop to Singapore; Qatar Airways nonstop to Doha carries oneworld; Emirates and Etihad serve the Gulf. Programs whose alliance does not touch Ahmedabad are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

Amritsar → Mahé priced from Amritsar, not redirected to Delhi: 20 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 40,000 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 17,500. Air India flies ATQ–DEL/BOM plus its own ATQ–London Gatwick and ATQ–Birmingham (Star feed); Qatar Airways nonstop to Doha and Malaysia Airlines nonstop to Kuala Lumpur carry oneworld. Programs whose alliance does not touch Amritsar are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

Bengaluru → Mahé was a hole in the board, and it is now 22 priced ways to buy the seat, economy from 15,000 on Aeroplan and business from 22,500 on Aeroplan. First is on the board too at 40,000 via Aeroplan — the published chart carries the cabin, so we print it. Aeroplan bands the 3,154 km on distance and AAdvantage prices the region flat. Flying Blue is off the board here — no SkyTeam carrier and no Flying Blue partner can put this pair together inside a sane routing. The dynamic rows that remain are honest estimates and can never be crowned THE PLAY.

Chennai → Mahé was a hole in the board, and it is now 22 priced ways to buy the seat, economy from 17,500 on Copa ConnectMiles and business from 40,000 on Aeroplan. First is on the board too at 75,000 via Aeroplan — the published chart carries the cabin, so we print it. Aeroplan bands the 3,357 km on distance and AAdvantage prices the region flat. No SkyTeam carrier serves Chennai and no Flying Blue partner can build the routing, so neither Flying Blue nor Delta SkyMiles has a row here.

Delhi → Mahé was a hole in the board, and it is now 24 priced ways to buy the seat, economy from 17,500 on Copa ConnectMiles and business from 40,000 on Aeroplan. First is on the board too at 75,000 via Aeroplan — the published chart carries the cabin, so we print it. Aeroplan bands the 4,357 km on distance and AAdvantage prices the region flat; the dynamic Flying Blue row is shown as an honest estimate and can never be crowned THE PLAY.

Goa → Mahé priced from Goa, not redirected to Delhi: 20 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 40,000 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 17,500. Air India flies GOX–DEL/BOM/HYD (Star feed); Qatar Airways nonstop to Doha is Goa's oneworld metal. Mopa, not Dabolim, is where Goa's international alliance service sits. Programs whose alliance does not touch Goa are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

Hyderabad → Mahé was a hole in the board, and it is now 22 priced ways to buy the seat, economy from 17,500 on Copa ConnectMiles and business from 40,000 on Aeroplan.

Kolkata → Mahé priced from Kolkata, not redirected to Delhi: 20 ways to buy this seat with points.

Air India flies CCU–DEL/BOM and Thai Airways and Singapore Airlines are nonstop (Star feed on the ground in Kolkata); Qatar Airways nonstop to Doha and Malaysia Airlines nonstop to Kuala Lumpur carry oneworld. Programs whose alliance does not touch Kolkata are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

Kozhikode → Mahé priced from Kozhikode, not redirected to Delhi: 4 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 55,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 30,000. Air India mainline is gone from Kozhikode (wide-body ops still suspended), so there is NO Star feed — Air India Express is not a Star Alliance carrier. Qatar Airways' nonstop to Doha is the one alliance door, which makes Kozhikode a oneworld-only city. Programs whose alliance does not touch Kozhikode are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

The honeymoon corridor no Indian points blog prices. Mahé has no cheap nonstop from India, so it's a Gulf connection — and Qatar via Doha is the only one that publishes a number: 27,000 Avios economy / 67,500 business per-segment. Aeroplan prices Ethiopian's Addis routing at 30,000/40,000, the same 2,001–4,000 band despite the detour, and Cloud Nine J undercuts Avios' Qsuite by 27,500 points. Emirates flies the beach run itself and quotes dynamic; Etihad only sells it — the Abu Dhabi–Mahé leg is an Air Seychelles codeshare, not Etihad metal. Burn Avios for the front cabin, or Aeroplan if you minted it through a hotel stash.

Pune → Mahé priced from Pune, not redirected to Delhi: 16 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 40,000 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 17,500.

Thiruvananthapuram → Mahé priced from Thiruvananthapuram, not redirected to Delhi: 20 ways to buy this seat with points.

The verified charts crown THE PLAY; the dynamic row is shown as an honest estimate.

Chennai → Nairobi on points: 24 options, the board now symmetric with Nairobi → Chennai. Award charts price the zone pair or the distance band, not the direction, so every program that prices the reverse heading is mirrored here — a mirror still flagged as an estimate never takes the crown. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 40,000 via Air Canada Aeroplan, and economy starts at 17,500. 16 rows are first-hand chart reads.

Delhi → Nairobi on points: 24 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach.

The one African corridor an Indian card actually prices cleanly. Air India's April-2026 chart quietly made Nairobi the only African city it sells — 12,000 points economy, a straight steal for a six-hour flight, though the award originates Delhi so Mumbai backtracks through DEL. Prefer to stay south? Qatar via Doha runs 27,000 Avios per-segment, and Ethiopian via Addis prices 30,000 Aeroplan — the same East-Africa hub play, mintable through HDFC or a Bonvoy hop. The Gulf's dynamic desks (Emirates, Etihad) quote by the day and won't commit to a chart. Chart says Maharaja; the arithmetic agrees for once. 3 of the 34 rows here are mirrored from the nbo-bom direction — award charts price the zone pair, not the direction of travel — and render as honest estimates that never crown THE PLAY.

Pune → Nairobi priced from Pune, not redirected to Delhi: 16 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 45,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 17,500. Air India flies PNQ–DEL (Star feed).
