how do i upgrade my tier status of the maharaja club?
You will automatically be upgraded to a higher Tier once you earn the required qualifying Tier Points or take the required number of flights
The tier status depends on the tier points or the flights taken.
Members start at the red tier moving up to silver then gold then platinum.
The silver tier requires minimum 15,000 points including atleast 4,500 points earned on air india flights.
The gold tier requires minimum 30,000 points including atleast 9,000 points earned on air india flights.
The platinum tier requires minimum 45,000 points including atleast 13,500 points earned on air india flights.
To move up the tier list in the Air India Maharaja Club (Flying Returns program), you need to earn Tier Points by flying with Air India or Star Alliance partner airlines.
There are four tiers: Base, Silver Edge, Gold Edge, and The Maharaja. To upgrade, you need to fly a certain number of eligible flights or earn a specific number of Tier Points within a 12-month period. For example, flying more in Business or First Class earns you more points and helps you move up faster.
Once you meet the criteria, your tier is upgraded automatically. Higher tiers come with perks like extra baggage, lounge access, and priority check-in. You can track your progress in your Flying Returns account online.
