How do I join the Air India Maharaja club?

How can I become a member of the Maharaja Club to enjoy the benefits and rewards offered by the club?

Create your account in just a few steps by clicking on the Maharaja Club enrolment page.

  • Enter your personal details and contact information: Fill out your personal information and your contact information (email address and mobile number).
    Ensure that your name exactly matches the name on your passport or other official government identification documents. If you have a middle name, please include it along with your first name.
    Please note that your email address and mobile number should not already be registered with an existing Maharaja Club account.
  • Validate your account: Validate your email ID using a verification link sent to your email address and your mobile number via OTP.

It’s pretty simple just hop on the Air India website and sign up, no fees or anything. Just make sure your name matches your ID and use a fresh email and phone number.

Once you verify with the OTP and email, you’re set. Take your first paid Air India flight and they’ll toss in 1,000 bonus points to kick things off.

After that, every time you fly with Air India or their Star Alliance partners, you earn points based on how much you spend, not just how far you fly. The more you travel, the better perks you get like lounge access, priority check-in, extra baggage, and even upgrades.

The Air India Maharaja Club is not something you can just sign up for. It is an invite only tier under the Flying Returns program and usually offered to people who fly a lot with Air India or spend big on tickets. The best way to get in is to first join the Flying Returns program for free on the Air India site, keep flying frequently, build up your tier status, and then wait for an official invite.
