I could see that in all best redemption option is United airlines. You can select number of pax and destination you even have option to see calendar which dates available or cheaper in that month and they use all their network to give you ticket with capped points unlike vistara which charges extra miles based on sectors.

 

[jeetash]

In some of the YouTube video I have seen they mentioned if we book a flight in which our destination is mid flight (a stopping point), then it will be cheaper in comparison to booking a flight whose final destination is our destination..?

There might be other complications with that... Especially if you are travelling international.. like ur baggage etc .

 

[harshit_agrawal]

Need to book Delhi-Frankfurt roundtrip for 2 adults. Can anyone please tell which airline will need lowest no. of miles in economy class? Turkish airline needs 60k miles per adult.

 

[Ksunnylove]

is there any offer or quota for promo award tickets in respect of turkish airline ?

 

[churn]

is there any offer or quota for promo award tickets in respect of turkish airline ?

No, it's the same as saver fare on other partner airlines. As soon as the saver fares get filled, your 30k seats will also go.

With Aeroplan, I can't find any flight between DEL and middle east (DXB/AUH). I tried "Book with points" option in Air Canada website. Is there any alternative options to search ?
