Chennai (MAA) → Auckland (AKL)
Chennai → Auckland on points: 22 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 11,277 km distance band, AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart. 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. The verified charts crown THE PLAY.
Delhi (DEL) → Auckland (AKL)
No airline flies India to New Zealand nonstop, so Auckland is a whose-hub problem — and the zone charts refuse to charge for the distance. ANA zones NZ with Australia at a paper-cheap 23,000 economy / 43,500 business, but that's ~104,400 Marriott Bonvoy to mint. KrisFlyer stays the seat you can actually book: 42,000 / 100,000 on SQ metal via Changi, issuers feeding it 1:1. Cathay via Hong Kong tips into Asia Miles' 7,501-mile band at 119,000, or a punishing 143,000 through Qantas.
Goa (GOX) → Auckland (AKL)
Goa → Auckland priced from Goa, not redirected to Delhi: 20 ways to buy this seat with points.

The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 80,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 42,500. 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.

Delhi (DEL) → Melbourne (MEL)
The rare ultra-long-haul where the nonstop and the bargain are almost the same flight. Air India's April-2026 overhaul set Delhi–Melbourne business at 130,000 points on its own A350 nonstop and grouped Australia with US/Canada at a flat 40,000 in economy. KrisFlyer undercuts it on miles — 100,000 Saver in business — but only via Singapore, trading a Changi detour for SQ product on both legs. No oneworld carrier flies India–Australia nonstop, so the oneworld metal balloons through a hub — Avios can price the all-Cathay routing per segment but lands dearest of all (a completeness row). Two clean plays stand: nonstop convenience (Maharaja) or miles-efficiency (KrisFlyer).
Goa (GOX) → Melbourne (MEL)
Goa → Melbourne priced from Goa, not redirected to Delhi: 22 ways to buy this seat with points.

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.
Mumbai (BOM) → Melbourne (MEL)
Mumbai to Melbourne has no nonstop — every seat connects, and the only choice is whose hub. Singapore owns it: KrisFlyer's flat India→Australia Saver asks 100,000 business through Changi, the redemption four issuers exist to feed 1:1, unchanged from Delhi because the zone chart ignores where you start. Hong Kong is dearer — BOM–HKG–MEL rides Asia Miles' 91,000 band, and Qantas asks 125,400 for the shortest partner build (Malaysia via Kuala Lumpur, Zone 7) or 143,000 for that same Cathay metal. ANA's 43,500 is cheaper on paper but wants ~104,400 Bonvoy at 3:1.25. Fund the play; skip the hub tolls.
Pune (PNQ) → Melbourne (MEL)

Johannesburg (JNB) → Melbourne (MEL)
Johannesburg → Melbourne on points: 8 options across three programs our cards can reach, and Aeroplan is the one to read carefully.

Sydney SYD
49 corridors · 14 from India
Ahmedabad (AMD) → Sydney (SYD)
Ahmedabad → Sydney priced from Ahmedabad, not redirected to Delhi: 22 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 55,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 35,000. 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 (ATQ) → Sydney (SYD)
Amritsar → Sydney priced from Amritsar, not redirected to Delhi: 22 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 55,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 35,000. 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 (BLR) → Sydney (SYD)
Bengaluru has no nonstop to Australia, so like Chennai it's a whose-hub question — but the arithmetic lands nearer Delhi's than Chennai's, and that IS the story. Singapore owns it: KrisFlyer's flat India→Australia Saver is 100,000 business through Changi, origin-blind within India, four issuers feeding it 1:1 — and the same SQ seat gets priced three more ways (Aeroplan 92,500, ANA a chart-cheap-but-hard-to-fund 43,500, Velocity 104,000). The distance programs punish Bengaluru's western seat: BLR–SIN is a longer feed than Chennai's, so Velocity climbs a band to 104,000 (Chennai pays 89,500), and BLR–HKG–SYD tips just past 7,000 miles into Qantas' Zone 8 at 143,000 — for the very Cathay seat Asia Miles books at 91,000, AAdvantage at a flat 80,000, and JAL at 80,000. Route Qantas through Kuala Lumpur instead and the same table reads Zone 7, 125,400 — which is what the board now shows. Air India will backtrack you north through Delhi at its flat 40,000/130,000 tier. Whole board connects; Singapore is the one to make.
Chennai (MAA) → Sydney (SYD)
Chennai sits closer to both hubs than Delhi, and the shorter feed drops the distance programs a band — Velocity falls to 89,500 business, the paper-cheap SQ seat if you could even hold the account. But the real headline is ANA: 43,500 one-way for the same SQ business, chart-cheapest here, gated only by ~104,400 Bonvoy at 3:1.25. KrisFlyer's zone chart ignores distance and still asks a flat 100,000 Saver via Changi — 19,000 under Asia Miles' 91,000 — and it's the seat you can actually book today.
Delhi (DEL) → Sydney (SYD)
The one corridor where India flies you direct — and a clinic on why not to pay in points. Air India's A350 does DEL–SYD nonstop at 40,000 economy / 130,000 business, yet KrisFlyer routes through Changi for 100,000 business Saver — 58,000 fewer miles, full SQ both legs, four issuers feeding 1:1. ANA's 43,500 is cheaper still on paper but wants ~104,400 Bonvoy at 3:1.25. The two Hong Kong wrappers split the same Cathay seat — Asia Miles 91,000, Qantas 125,400 — and Qantas reaches no Indian card. Chart says KrisFlyer.
Goa (GOX) → Sydney (SYD)
Goa → Sydney priced from Goa, not redirected to Delhi: 22 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 55,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 35,000. 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 (HYD) → Sydney (SYD)
Hyderabad → Sydney on points: 26 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 9,565 km distance band, AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart, and Flying Blue covers SkyTeam dynamically.

Jaipur (JAI) → Sydney (SYD)
Jaipur → Sydney priced from Jaipur, not redirected to Delhi: 18 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 55,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 35,000. Air India flies JAI–DEL (Star feed); Etihad is nonstop to Abu Dhabi. No oneworld member serves Jaipur, so oneworld programs are omitted. Programs whose alliance does not touch Jaipur are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.
Kochi (COK) → Sydney (SYD)
Kochi → Sydney priced from Kochi, not redirected to Delhi: 22 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 55,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 35,000. Air India flies COK–DEL/BOM (Star feed); Qatar Airways nonstop to Doha and SriLankan nonstop to Colombo carry oneworld; Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Emirates, Etihad and Saudia also serve Kochi nonstop. Programs whose alliance does not touch Kochi are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.
Kolkata (CCU) → Sydney (SYD)
Kolkata → Sydney priced from Kolkata, not redirected to Delhi: 22 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 55,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 35,000. 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 (CCJ) → Sydney (SYD)
Kozhikode → Sydney priced from Kozhikode, not redirected to Delhi: 4 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 80,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 42,500. 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.
Mumbai (BOM) → Sydney (SYD)
Mumbai → Sydney on points: 32 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach.

The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 55,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 35,000. Air India flies PNQ–DEL (Star feed). No oneworld and no SkyTeam member touches Pune, so oneworld programs are omitted rather than routed through a flight that does not exist. Programs whose alliance does not touch Pune are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

Aeroplan's fixed band only applies to partners outside its dynamic Select column, so the Aeroplan row here is ANA via HND, banded on the 11,625 miles that routing actually flies, AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart, and Flying Blue covers SkyTeam dynamically. The verified charts crown THE PLAY; the dynamic row is shown as an honest estimate.
Zurich (ZRH) → Sydney (SYD)
Zurich → Sydney on points: 10 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 16,568 km distance band, AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart, and Flying Blue covers SkyTeam dynamically. The verified charts crown THE PLAY; the dynamic row is shown as an honest estimate.
A region here is a navigation aid, not an award zone — Aeroplan, AAdvantage and Flying Blue each draw their own bands and disagree about where Turkey and Egypt sit. Membership is derived country → region from the airport registry, so a corridor we price lands on its region board automatically. Points levels are one-way at published/typical chart levels, sourced and dated on each corridor's board; a program that prices dynamically shows an honest estimate, and an estimate is never the play. "Mint via" = the cheapest active transfer routes into the winning program at house values — ratios and times on the transfer desk.
