Air India just announced the biggest Maharaja Club overhaul since the Tata takeover — award rates slashed across 90% of routes, tier thresholds reduced, and a new cancellation policy that no other Indian airline offers.
But not everything got cheaper. Some routes got more expensive. And the real question isn’t just what changed — it’s how you use your credit card points to make the most of it.
Tonight we break it all down. Live. With Dhimant, Aadil and a special guest.
WHAT WE’RE COVERING:
→ The full award chart breakdown — economy, premium economy, business class
→ The biggest sweet spots: Bali, Dubai, Bangkok, Mauritius at 12K points; Delhi–SF at 40K; Mumbai–Newark business at 1.3L
→ Routes that got MORE expensive: London, Dubai — we’re not hiding these
→ The Axis Group B strategy — why Maharaja Club just solved the economy redemption problem for Magnus Burgundy holders
→ Long-haul business class on Air India’s new product — US and UK routes, the 1.3L play
→ Canada and US diaspora angle — Vancouver at 50K, NRI perspective
→ Is Air India now the easiest path to Star Alliance Gold in India?
→ Free cancellation by tier — Platinum gets free cancel 2 hours before departure
→ Tier changes: Platinum now 60 flights (was 90), Gold 45 (was 60), Silver 20 (was 30)
→ Live Q&A — bring your questions
