New Mile Transfer Partners added to Axis!!

I just came to know that the conversion rate to Vistara is horrible. 18K cv points = 5500Rs flight ticket. Isn't a multi-brand voucher redemption (1ER = 0.4RS) better than Vistara? Or am I going wrong here?
this is not the way you check for award flights. You are using cash + points option.

That is why you are getting such a low value for points. Delhi to BLR is straight 7500 CV points. For Delhi to Mumbai its 5000 CV points.

18K points are required for businesses class and not economy.
You can book economy ticket for 7.5K points if availability is there, if not it will show next tier like premium economy and then business class
 
Domestic CV gives a good value of 80-100ps.
How? ?????

This is how the redemption page with CV points should look like,

Round trip Revenue ticket with vistara same dates same route Delhi-Blr is
Total INR11,578
Air Fare
INR9,300
Taxes and Fees
INR1,978

and Round trip CV points is 15000+1514 taxes
So if we minus taxes from revenue ticket to compare direct Revenue vs CV we get 11578-1514=10064 So 15000CV point =10064 in this case
Value 10064/15000*100=67.09Ps per cv point

Ah got it. I was checking Points + cash option, my bad.
5ER = 4CV. So the net return is 53% if we calculate wrt ER?
 
Thanks for sharing... Much needed..does the point requirement stay same throughout the year?
Also Can I know the source, I could not locate it before.
I got this from Vistara itself couple of days back and I have verified the CV points requirement personally so you may trust this without any issues.

It is the base/minimum requirement, as the airline industry is dynamic so you may expect the hike accordingly.

But generally if you are booking 1-1.5 months in advance then you may get it at the lowest levels as what I have experienced.

For 2-3 months advance bookings, for sure you will get lowest.

The points required are fixed depending on the origin and destination and the class booked... the availability varies depending on demand...

Think for Bangalore we can never get 1CV point == 1INR
 
Also,
1. if we order something like iPhone 14/Apple watch from Accor to India, how much are the customs duty + shipping charges?
2. In which countries can we order without any customs duty?

You can also use the below online link to check for miles requirement:

https://www.airvistara.com/in/en/club-vistara/redeem/award-calculator

Note that Vistara uses fixed miles and not dynamic. If there is availability points requirement would be as per the above chart. If you see more miles required then it would either be a higher class or the flight would not be direct or it would be cash+points
