The escape is carefully planned.
Air India’s Maharaja Club loyalty program offers a way to earn and redeem points on flights to India and beyond. With four status tiers, members can enjoy benefits like priority check-in and lounge access. But with limited transfer partners and no U.S.-based credit cards, the program may not be the best choice for many travelers. Still, for those who frequently fly to India, the Maharaja Club may offer more value than other Star Alliance loyalty programs. The program’s upgrade vouchers are a nice perk, but be prepared for variable award pricing and limited award availability.
It’s a loyalty program that’s still finding its footing.
