Air India and Vistara direct flights will give the best redemption value for this route.

Try Etihad via Flying Blue

Virgin Atlantic is also a part of Sky Team Alliance - Flying Blue. You can check if Virgin Atlantic flights are bookable through Flying Blue miles.

Word of caution : Flying Blue has numerous cases of tickets being cancelled for people who never fly through FB then transfer miles for only redemption.

Thanks for the help, now you really frightened me about air France
What about Air India, do they also cancel tickets for those who have never flown?

tax component is cheap in Air India( Category B) for using ur Axis Points. But the point value reduces.

Yes 38000 miles one way or 76000 miles for London to Mumbai return flight

 

[drsel]

Air India miles are worth 50 paisa, because 76000 miles + tax is equivalent to Rs. 45000

Revenue return fare is around 45000 on Virgin Atlantic and British Airways

Yeah. Then book with Air India. Also, AI currently has a sale, and you can snag a good cash deal. And If you are looking to burn points, go with Air India, as booking through Qantas or Flying Blue will require about the same miles but the taxes are very high. If you want better value, you need to look at List A, but I'm guessing you've exhausted the limit like the rest of us.
PS- I just transferred all my remaining points on Atlas to AI. You can do so too if you frequently fly domestic.

Air India - I don't know as I mainly travel on AF/KLM.
You can research on Flyertalk forum about cases where FB canceled miles redemption tickets for flyers who never flew with them. This happens if the activity is suspected as suspicious/fraud.

It’s off season on Flying Club in Jan, Feb.
10K points needed.
~200£ taxes.

PS:
I’ve sounded out a senior contact in VA to put in a word about adding Flying Club (FC) as a transfer partner to Axis Horizon and Axis Olympus as a continuation of the previous Citi arrangement.
I’ve told him how FC is a much sought after FFP amongst points and miles enthusiasts.
That with Citi gone, how only Amex remains a transfer partner.

He said he’ll share feedback with HQ.

You may like to check on AF/KLM booking using miles. Round trip economy should be below 60K miles plus 22K INR in taxes (BOM-LHR)

Virgin Atlantic Mumbai to London return flights always needed 20000 miles but the taxes are more than 30000

Such statement for just 200 Euros of Taxes? 😆

I think it may be reasonable, because Air India takes 17775, approximately the same
