are there better benefits with every higher tier of the club?
Depending on the Tier, Maharaja Club members get multiple benefits during ticket booking and access to priority services at the airport.
Like the tier list is red then silver followed by gold and the highest tier is platinum so here the red tier holders do not get priority services and the higher tier members get priority services.
The best benefit for me with each tier is the extra weight allowance that you get. With silver tier you get 5 kgs extra, with gold and platinum 20 kgs.
There are different benefits around cancellation or change of the tickets and the different tiers really come handy when you want to do changes after the booking to your tickets.
