Air India mileage partners

[thebobmc]

Is Air India a mileage partner with anyone besides Lufthansa ?

I saw a reference in earlier post to partnership with Air France, but I can't find this on the Air France website.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

As you can see you don't get "status" miles but get miles with many partners.

And from what I can tell it is route specific. Flying to BKK from some locations gives TG points but not from Delhi. Anyone have different experience to report?

I think now AI flights can also earn SQ miles.

Anyone has any other updates on where to stash AI miles.

I have 2 flights coming up in Dec. I might just keep the miles in AI.

It would be great if AI joins star officially, then we can earn miles on other partners (CO would be great for me!).

Can this thread please be moved to the Airlines of India forum?
Thank you mods.

As far as I can tell, the only airlines that award miles for all AI routes are SQ and LH. And SQ and LH limit earning on cheap fares. My recent coach ticket DEL-HKG will earn me 50% if credited to LH - not sure if it is worth the bother.

The AF website does not list AI as a mileage earning partner. If they are, where is this documented?

I wonder if AI will make any big changes to their FF program when they join *A. Like discount Y earns only 70% and the "invitation"-based criteria for earning status
