How to redeem the maharaja points of the air india maharaja club?
You can redeem the Maharaja Points you have accumulated in the following ways:
To book a Reward Ticket
To use in combination with cash for a Cash + Points booking
To Upgrade the Cabin Class on your Air India flight
Hey, I’ve recently started earning Maharaja points with my Air India Maharaja Club membership, but I’m not sure about the redemption process. Could someone guide me on how I can redeem these points for flights or other rewards ?
Hii, that’s a great question ! Redeeming your Maharaja points is actually quite flexible and rewarding once you get familiar with the process.
Redeeming for Flights:
The most common way is to use your points for flight tickets on Air India. You can log in to your Flying Returns account (linked with your Maharaja Club membership) on the Air India website or app, and while booking, select the option to pay with points. Depending on how many points you’ve earned, you can either book a ticket entirely with points or do a “cash + points” redemption.
Partner Airlines & Upgrades:
Your Maharaja points aren’t limited to Air India flights. Since Air India is part of the Star Alliance, you can redeem them on partner airlines worldwide. If you prefer comfort, you can also use points to upgrade your existing booking from economy to business or business to first class, which many members find the most valuable way to use points.
Hotels & Lifestyle Benefits:
Beyond flights, you can redeem points for select hotel stays, shopping vouchers, and lifestyle experiences if you enjoy diversifying your rewards. These options are available through Air India’s partner network.
Tip from Experience:
If you’re planning a long-haul flight, saving points for an upgrade often gives you the best value per point. For shorter flights, using points for full tickets can make sense.
