Award flights to South Asia on points
318 corridors into 12 destinations we price — 68 of them from an Indian airport, the rest hub to hub. The cheapest verified play on this board: Ahmedabad → Kathmandu in business for 12,500 Air Canada Aeroplan — ₹12,500 all-in at house ₹. Every corridor links through to its full board.
Bengaluru BLR
40 corridors · 4 from India
Chennai (MAA) → Bengaluru (BLR)
Chennai → Bengaluru on points: 6 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 268 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) → Bengaluru (BLR)
The tech-corridor trunk. Air India's April-2026 chart prices DEL–BLR economy at a flat 7,000 Maharaja points — ₹5,600 at house value against ₹5–9k cash, a real award when Value space shows, and the cheapest seat on the board. Aeroplan now prints fixed numbers too — 15,000 economy, 22,500 business — and its 22,500 even undercuts Maharaja's own 25,000 J. But on a 2¾-hour narrowbody recliner every business row is a points-dump. Fly economy, bank the difference.
Hyderabad (HYD) → Bengaluru (BLR)
Hyderabad → Bengaluru on points: 6 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 456 km distance band and AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart. Flying Blue is off the board here — no SkyTeam carrier and no Flying Blue partner can put this pair together inside a sane routing. Every row on this corridor is a published chart price.
Mumbai (BOM) → Bengaluru (BLR)
The other tech shuttle, and the cheapest fixed business seat on any metro trunk: 19,000 Maharaja points after the April-2026 10% trim, against 20,000 for Delhi–Mumbai and 25,000 for Delhi–Bengaluru. Economy held at 4,000 — ₹3,200 at house value on a route where cash fares run ₹3–6k, so the award only clears when fares spike. IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express pile frequency onto the corridor; none of them wears a chart. The honest verdict for a 105-minute hop: pay cash in economy, and if you must burn points, the 12,500-Aeroplan business seat is the only redemption here that beats its own cash fare with any regularity.

Chennai MAA
40 corridors · 4 from India
Bengaluru (BLR) → Chennai (MAA)
The cheapest fixed award in the entire book. Bengaluru–Chennai is the April-2026 chart's domestic floor — 1,500 Maharaja points, cut 25% from 2,000, ₹1,200 at house value on a 55-minute hop where cash runs ₹2–4k. Route-priced to the bone: 166 great-circle miles, the shortest mainline sector Air India sells on points. Business isn't published route-level and doesn't need to be — nobody redeems a recliner for under an hour. IndiGo owns the frequency, chart-less as ever. If you hold Maharaja points and fly this shuttle, 1,500 is the one domestic burn that always beats cash.

That is now the cheapest published business seat on this corridor; read the verdict above as the best of the rest.
Sydney (SYD) → Chennai (MAA)
Sydney → Chennai on points: 8 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 9,129 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.
Taipei (TPE) → Chennai (MAA)
Taipei → Chennai on points: 8 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 4,500 km distance band, AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart, and Flying Blue — which reaches Chennai on Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur, not on SkyTeam metal — prices it dynamically. The verified charts crown THE PLAY; the dynamic row is shown as an honest estimate.
Tokyo (NRT) → Chennai (MAA)
Tokyo → Chennai on points: 10 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 6,493 km distance band, AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart, and Flying Blue — which reaches Chennai on Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur, not on SkyTeam metal — prices it dynamically. The verified charts crown THE PLAY; the dynamic row is shown as an honest estimate.
Toronto (YYZ) → Chennai (MAA)
Toronto → Chennai on points: 6 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 13,388 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.
Vancouver (YVR) → Chennai (MAA)
Vancouver → Chennai on points: 6 options, both backbones, no estimates — and Aeroplan, the obvious Star answer, is not the cheap one. It bands on distance FLOWN, no Star nonstop exists, and YVR–DEL–MAA's ~8,020 miles clears the 8,000-mile line by a couple dozen miles into the 8,001+ North America–Atlantic band: 75,000 economy, 110,000 business, 165,000 First. AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off a fixed region chart at 40,000/70,000/115,000 and wins every cabin. Both are published charts, so THE PLAY here is a real number.
Washington (IAD) → Chennai (MAA)
Washington → Chennai on points: 6 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 13,789 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.

Colombo CMB
49 corridors · 14 from India
Ahmedabad (AMD) → Colombo (CMB)
Ahmedabad → Colombo priced from Ahmedabad, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Colombo (CMB)
Amritsar → Colombo priced from Amritsar, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Colombo (CMB)
The corridor where a British program quietly wins. Air India skips Bengaluru–Colombo, but SriLankan flies it nonstop — and at 441 great-circle miles it drops into Avios Zone 1, the cheapest international award on the site: 6,500 Avios in economy, 14,000 in business, single segment, six issuers feeding Avios direct. That's roughly ₹8,000 of points for a nonstop widebody hop to Sri Lanka in the front cabin. KrisFlyer can't touch it — Zone 6 → Zone 6 is calculator-only, and no Star metal flies the nonstop anyway. IndiGo's BluChip prices the live fare. Hold Avios, book the 6,500 economy or splurge 14,000 for business; nothing else is close.
Chennai (MAA) → Colombo (CMB)
The cheapest Avios seat leaving India: MAA–CMB is a single 402-mile Zone-1 segment on SriLankan, 6,500 Avios one-way — under 90 minutes for the price of a domestic hop, and business is only 14,000. Six issuers feed Avios directly. IndiGo flies it too on dynamic BluChip; contrary to older notes, no Air India metal serves Chennai–Colombo, so there's no Maharaja or Aeroplan here.
Delhi (DEL) → Colombo (CMB)
The corridor where April-2026's generosity ran out — Colombo went the other way, 6,000 to 10,000 Maharaja points, a 67% hike. At ₹8,000 against ₹12–18k cash it's still the cheapest economy on the board. But it's no longer oneworld-dead: SriLankan flies Delhi nonstop, and Avios prices it clean single-segment — 12,500 economy, 24,500 business, six issuers feeding direct. Aeroplan's fixed 22,500 J undercuts even that. The nonstop oneworld play this route was missing has landed.
Goa (GOX) → Colombo (CMB)
Goa → Colombo priced from Goa, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Colombo (CMB)
Hyderabad → Colombo on points: 22 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 1,130 km distance band and AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart. 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 verified charts crown THE PLAY; the dynamic rows that remain are honest estimates.
Jaipur (JAI) → Colombo (CMB)
Jaipur → Colombo priced from Jaipur, not redirected to Delhi: 15 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Colombo (CMB)
A one-hour puddle-jump, and SriLankan owns the nonstop — dropping into Avios' cheapest band at 6,500 economy / 14,000 business, a flat-bed to Colombo for less than most domestic redemptions. Air India flies no COK–CMB nonstop and any hub routing is an absurd northward backtrack, so Maharaja sits it out. Small, cheap, entirely an Avios story.
Kolkata (CCU) → Colombo (CMB)
Kolkata → Colombo priced from Kolkata, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Colombo (CMB)
Kozhikode → Colombo priced from Kozhikode, not redirected to Delhi: 6 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 30,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 17,500. 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) → Colombo (CMB)
Mumbai → Colombo on points: 23 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 1,526 km distance band and AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart. 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 verified charts crown THE PLAY; the dynamic rows that remain are honest estimates.
Pune (PNQ) → Colombo (CMB)
Pune → Colombo priced from Pune, not redirected to Delhi: 15 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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.
Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) → Colombo (CMB)
Thiruvananthapuram → Colombo priced from Thiruvananthapuram, not redirected to Delhi: 23 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 14,000 via Avios, and economy starts at 6,500. Air India flies TRV–DEL/BOM (Star feed); Qatar Airways nonstop to Doha and SriLankan nonstop to Colombo carry oneworld; Emirates, Etihad and Oman Air serve the Gulf nonstop. Programs whose alliance does not touch Thiruvananthapuram are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

Dubai → Colombo on points: 13 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 3,288 km distance band, AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart, and Emirates sells its own nonstop. Ignore the Flying Blue row: no Flying Blue partner flies Dubai–Colombo, or anything short that connects to it — the only build its roster can construct is China Eastern back through Shanghai, 11,548 km flown against a 3,288 km great circle, which is why its per-segment estimate is the dearest number on this board.

Delhi DEL
40 corridors · 4 from India
Bengaluru (BLR) → Delhi (DEL)
The southern half of the tech-corridor trunk, and the mirror of Delhi–Bengaluru: Air India's April-2026 chart prices it at a flat 7,000 Maharaja points in economy — ₹5,600 at house value against ₹5–9k cash, the cheapest seat on the board when Value space shows — and 25,000 in business. Route-priced, not distance-priced: the same 7,000 buys a sector six times longer than Bengaluru–Chennai's 1,500. IndiGo owns the frequency and prices nothing on a chart — BluChip tracks the live fare. On a 2¾-hour narrowbody recliner the 25,000-point business seat is a points-dump; fly economy, bank the rest.
Chennai (MAA) → Delhi (DEL)

Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 1,759 km distance band, AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart.

Dhaka DAC
1 corridor · 1 from India
Kolkata (CCU) → Dhaka (DAC)
The shortest international flight out of Kolkata — and, surprisingly, one no award chart reaches. Biman, US-Bangla and IndiGo split the nonstop; none is a oneworld or Star carrier, so the cheap Avios Zone-1 you'd expect on a 149-mile hop simply doesn't exist, and Air India flies no metal to detour onto. IndiGo's BluChip tracks the fare; everything else is a cash ticket. Honest absence, not a gap in our data.
Goa GOI
2 corridors · 2 from India
Bengaluru (BLR) → Goa (GOI)
Goa on points, minus the mainline. Air India Express and IndiGo fly Bengaluru–Dabolim and IndiGo–Mopa, but Air India's mainline metal doesn't work this ~480-km leisure hop — so the April-2026 Maharaja chart, which prices Delhi–Goa at 5,000 and Hyderabad–Mopa at 2,500, publishes no Bengaluru–Goa route-level number this desk can print. That leaves BluChip: IndiGo serves both Goa airports, prices every seat off the live fare (₹0.40–0.60 a point, no chart), and on a route where December fares triple July's, the "award" is just the peak ticket wearing points. Book cash in monsoon; there's no fixed award to beat.
Mumbai (BOM) → Goa (GOI)
The shortest corridor on the board and the cheapest fixed award in the book: 3,000 Maharaja points to Dabolim after the April-2026 cut, ₹2,400 at house value on a route where cash swings from ₹2.5k in monsoon to ₹8k+ around New Year. That swing is the whole game — dead money in July, a steal in December. Aeroplan now prints a business row at 12,500, but 75 minutes on a narrowbody doesn't buy a J story. Book Maharaja for peak season or don't bother.
Hyderabad HYD
40 corridors · 4 from India
Bengaluru (BLR) → Hyderabad (HYD)
The trunk the chart half-prices. Air India flies Bengaluru–Hyderabad, and the April-2026 table prints a business number — 16,000 Maharaja points, cut 20% from 20,000 — but no source publishes the economy route-level figure, and this desk prints charts, not the 3,000–5,000 tier range it would fall in. So the only fixed price on one of South India's busiest ~450-km hops is a 16,000-point business seat for barely an hour aloft — a rich toll no recliner justifies. IndiGo, Akasa, Star Air and Alliance Air own the frequency; BluChip prices off the live fare with no chart. Economy on points here is an honest blank until the route table surfaces.
Chennai (MAA) → Hyderabad (HYD)
Chennai → Hyderabad on points: 6 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 508 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) → Hyderabad (HYD)
The trunk with no printed price. Air India flies it, the April-2026 chart covers it — Hyderabad sits in Delhi's 3,000–5,000-point short domestic tier — but no source publishes the route-level number in either cabin, and this desk prints charts, not ranges. So the only fixed prices on one of India's busiest corridors belong to Air Canada: 7,500 Aeroplan in economy, 12,500 in business, on AI metal. That's the absurdity of partner charts in one row — a Canadian program is the only one quoting Delhi–Hyderabad. IndiGo and Akasa own the frequency; BluChip prices off the live fare with no chart, and Akasa has no program our cards reach. When Maharaja's route table surfaces, this corridor gets its anchor back.
Mumbai (BOM) → Hyderabad (HYD)
Mumbai → Hyderabad on points: 6 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach.

Kathmandu KTM
14 corridors · 14 from India
Ahmedabad (AMD) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Ahmedabad → Kathmandu priced from Ahmedabad, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 12,500 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 7,500. 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 (ATQ) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Amritsar → Kathmandu priced from Amritsar, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 12,500 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 7,500. 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 (BLR) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Bengaluru → Kathmandu was a hole in the board, and it is now 20 priced ways to buy the seat, economy from 7,500 on Avianca LifeMiles and business from 15,000 on Avianca LifeMiles. First is on the board too at 40,000 via Aeroplan — the published chart carries the cabin, so we print it. Aeroplan bands the 1,797 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 (MAA) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Chennai → Kathmandu was a hole in the board, and it is now 20 priced ways to buy the seat, economy from 7,500 on Avianca LifeMiles and business from 15,000 on Avianca LifeMiles.

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 (DEL) → Kathmandu (KTM)
The shortest international on the board, priced like it isn't: 10,000 Maharaja points for 816 km when Delhi–Mumbai, 40% farther, costs 5,000. The award works because DEL–KTM cash runs inflated at ₹8–14k. But Maharaja's no longer the only game: Aeroplan undercuts it on points — 7,500 economy on the same Air India nonstop, plus a 12,500 J row Maharaja never printed. Aeroplan's chain-funded (HDFC 2:1 / Bonvoy 3:1) against six issuers into Maharaja 1:1, so pick your plumbing.
Goa (GOX) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Goa → Kathmandu priced from Goa, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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.

First is on the board too at 25,000 via Aeroplan — the published chart carries the cabin, so we print it. Aeroplan bands the 1,363 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.
Jaipur (JAI) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Jaipur → Kathmandu priced from Jaipur, not redirected to Delhi: 15 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 12,500 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 7,500. 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) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Kochi → Kathmandu priced from Kochi, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Kolkata → Kathmandu priced from Kolkata, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Kozhikode → Kathmandu priced from Kozhikode, not redirected to Delhi: 6 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 30,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 17,500. 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) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Mumbai → Kathmandu was a hole in the board, and it is now 20 priced ways to buy the seat, economy from 7,500 on Aeroplan and business from 12,500 on Aeroplan. First is on the board too at 25,000 via Aeroplan — the published chart carries the cabin, so we print it. Aeroplan bands the 1,592 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.
Pune (PNQ) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Pune → Kathmandu priced from Pune, not redirected to Delhi: 15 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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.
Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) → Kathmandu (KTM)
Thiruvananthapuram → Kathmandu priced from Thiruvananthapuram, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. Air India flies TRV–DEL/BOM (Star feed); Qatar Airways nonstop to Doha and SriLankan nonstop to Colombo carry oneworld; Emirates, Etihad and Oman Air serve the Gulf nonstop. Programs whose alliance does not touch Thiruvananthapuram are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.
Kochi COK
1 corridor · 1 from India
Bengaluru (BLR) → Kochi (COK)
The shortest corridor in the set — 228 miles to Kochi — and a rare gap in the Maharaja story: Air India mainline doesn't fly it. Air India Express, Akasa, Alliance Air and IndiGo do, and it's the single busiest route out of Cochin. The only fixed number is a Maharaja domestic ultra-short fare on Express metal, floor-adjacent at a few thousand points; BluChip prices off IndiGo's live fare with no chart. A points-bleed corridor for a South-India weekend, not an aspiration — cash fares swing ₹1.5-4k and often win.
Kolkata CCU
2 corridors · 2 from India
Bengaluru (BLR) → Kolkata (CCU)
The eastern trunk the Maharaja chart forgot. Air India Express, Akasa and IndiGo fly Bengaluru–Kolkata nonstop, but the April-2026 route table our sources publish never quotes a BLR–CCU number in either cabin — and this desk prints published prices, not tier guesses. So a 1,547-km corridor with no fixed award at all: BluChip tracks IndiGo's live fare at ₹0.40–0.60 a point, taxes cash-only, nothing to plan around. When Maharaja's route table surfaces this pair — or Air India puts mainline metal back on it — the corridor gets its anchor.
Delhi (DEL) → Kolkata (CCU)
Route-priced, not distance-priced — exhibit A. Delhi–Kolkata costs 5,000 Maharaja points in economy, the same as Delhi–Mumbai despite being 175 km longer, and its business seat costs 28,000 where the much longer Delhi–Bengaluru run costs 25,000. The April-2026 overhaul held economy flat and cut business 15%, and at ₹0.80 a point the 5,000-point seat is ₹4,000 against ₹5–8k cash fares — a real award when Value space shows. IndiGo owns the frequency, chart-less as ever. Fly economy on points; the 28,000-point recliner is the chart's quiet overcharge.
Malé MLE
49 corridors · 14 from India
Ahmedabad (AMD) → Malé (MLE)
Ahmedabad → Malé priced from Ahmedabad, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 through Aegean Miles+Bonus, and verified economy starts at 10,000 on Air India's own Maharaja chart — though that one rides Delhi–Malé, cancelled until 1 September 2026. LifeMiles quotes 15,000 and 7,500, but those are estimates, and an estimate never headlines. 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) → Malé (MLE)
Amritsar → Malé priced from Amritsar, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Malé (MLE)
The Maldives run the April-2026 chart newly priced. Air India added Bengaluru–Malé at 8,000 Maharaja points economy — below the 10,000 South Asia tier Delhi pays, ₹6,400 at house value against ₹10–20k cash on a honeymoon-inflated route, a genuine buy when Value space shows. IndiGo flies the nonstop too, chart-less on BluChip. The Gulf carriers will sell you the long way round — Emirates via Dubai, Etihad via Abu Dhabi, both a westward backtrack their calculators price dynamically and nobody should pay for a 2-hour hop. Maharaja's 8,000 is the play; everything else is detour.
Chennai (MAA) → Malé (MLE)
No Chennai–Malé nonstop, so SriLankan connects over Colombo — and both legs are Zone-1 hops, so Avios sums to just 13,000 one-way (28,000 in business), a Maldives run for less Avios than a single Zone-3 segment costs. IndiGo backtracks over an Indian hub on dynamic BluChip. The tidy Colombo routing is the plan; no Air India metal touches it.
Delhi (DEL) → Malé (MLE)
Delhi → Malé on points: 23 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 2,735 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.
Goa (GOX) → Malé (MLE)
Goa → Malé priced from Goa, not redirected to Delhi: 7 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 30,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 10,000. Aeroplan came off this board on 1 Aug 2026: Air India has no Mumbai–Malé at all, and its only Malé service — Delhi–Malé — is cancelled 1 Jun to 31 Aug 2026 and resumes 1 Sep, so the Star build is Goa–Delhi–Malé, 4,199 km flown for a 1,284 km hop. Air India's own flat-tier Maharaja chart still sells that Delhi connection at 10,000. 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) → Malé (MLE)
Hyderabad → Malé on points: 20 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 1,546 km distance band and AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart. 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 verified charts crown THE PLAY; the dynamic rows that remain are honest estimates.
Jaipur (JAI) → Malé (MLE)
Jaipur → Malé priced from Jaipur, not redirected to Delhi: 15 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Malé (MLE)
Kochi → Malé priced from Kochi, not redirected to Delhi: 7 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 30,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 10,000. Aeroplan came off this board on 1 Aug 2026: Air India has no Mumbai–Malé at all, and its only Malé service — Delhi–Malé — is cancelled 1 Jun to 31 Aug 2026 and resumes 1 Sep, so the Star build is Kochi–Delhi–Malé, 4,783 km flown for a 735 km hop. Air India's own flat-tier Maharaja chart still sells that Delhi connection at 10,000. 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) → Malé (MLE)
Kolkata → Malé priced from Kolkata, not redirected to Delhi: 21 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 21,000 via Aegean Miles+Bonus, and economy starts at 10,000. 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) → Malé (MLE)
Kozhikode → Malé priced from Kozhikode, not redirected to Delhi: 6 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 30,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 17,500. 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) → Malé (MLE)
The honeymoon corridor, and until recently a lesson in honest absence. Air India still prices BOM–MLE at 10,000 points in economy — ₹8,000 against ₹8–15k cash, so even the fixed number barely clears, and IndiGo BluChip just revenue-prices the same hop. But the premium-cabin void is filled: Aeroplan puts Air India's nonstop front cabin on the board at 22,500, the cheapest published J, and Avios sums a Colombo detour to 32,500. Still a leisure route — price the ticket, then decide.
Pune (PNQ) → Malé (MLE)
Pune → Malé priced from Pune, not redirected to Delhi: 3 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 40,000 via Aeroplan, and economy starts at 10,000. 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.
Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) → Malé (MLE)
Thiruvananthapuram → Malé priced from Thiruvananthapuram, not redirected to Delhi: 7 ways to buy this seat with points. The cheapest verified business seat on the board is 30,000 via AAdvantage, and economy starts at 10,000. Aeroplan came off this board on 1 Aug 2026: Air India has no Mumbai–Malé at all, and its only Malé service — Delhi–Malé — is cancelled 1 Jun to 31 Aug 2026 and resumes 1 Sep, so the Star build is Thiruvananthapuram–Delhi–Malé, 4,968 km flown for a 607 km hop. Air India's own flat-tier Maharaja chart still sells that Delhi connection at 10,000. Qatar Airways nonstop to Doha and SriLankan nonstop to Colombo carry oneworld; Emirates, Etihad and Oman Air serve the Gulf nonstop. Programs whose alliance does not touch Thiruvananthapuram are omitted, not routed through a flight that does not exist.

Mumbai BOM
40 corridors · 4 from India
Bengaluru (BLR) → Mumbai (BOM)
The Mumbai leg of the tech shuttle, and the cheapest fixed business seat on any metro trunk: 19,000 Maharaja points after the April-2026 10% trim, against Delhi–Bengaluru's 25,000 and Delhi–Mumbai's 20,000. Economy held at 4,000 — ₹3,200 at house value where cash runs ₹3–6k, so the award clears only when the Friday-evening shuttle premium spikes fares. IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express pile frequency on the corridor; none wears a chart. For a 105-minute hop, pay cash in economy and save the Maharaja balance for the A350.
Chennai (MAA) → Mumbai (BOM)
Chennai → Mumbai on points: 6 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 1,033 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) → Mumbai (BOM)
The corridor that exposes what "domestic points" actually mean in India: mostly nothing you can plan. IndiGo BluChip revenue-prices off the cash fare — no chart, ₹0.40–0.80 a point — so its "award" is just the ticket. Two fixed charts now sit on the board: Maharaja's 5,000-point economy (₹4,000 against ₹4–7k cash) is the cheap seat, and Aeroplan's 12,500 undercuts Maharaja's own 20,000 up front. But business for a 2-hour recliner is still a points-dump; economy is the only honest buy.
Hyderabad (HYD) → Mumbai (BOM)
Hyderabad → Mumbai on points: 6 options across the alliance backbones our cards can reach. Aeroplan books Star partner metal at a fixed 622 km distance band and AAdvantage prices the oneworld routing off its region chart.

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.
