Hi Sushant, Welcome to FT.
You can indeed use your miles for your friends as well. Process is the same as booking for yourself. All you need to do is put their name in when you arrive at the section for name of passenger.
Hope this helps

just keep in mind that sometimes (although very rarely) they ask for a copy of the credit card used for booking, if you are not traveling & have booked for someone else....

We visit India 2-3 times a year for work (BLR/PNQ) and sometimes family visits too (DEL), but still can't have a Indian number coz it gets deactivated after like 2 months.

That's very scary, If say my wife was to get stuck in a similar situation at a airport in India, it will be a nightmare. We don't even have a Indian number and may probably end up spending like 100$ in intl roaming calls / data.

It is a weird situation, but sometimes it does happen.. one time, my mom was travelling on an award ticket booked from my miles.. they asked her for some proof at the airport (BLR).. it was completely random.. my mom called me all the way in London, what was middle of the night for me, and I had to speak with Jet people and convince them it was my account I had used to book ticket for my mother..complete annoyance..

Never had problems post that.. sometimes I have been abroad and even scanned across this document and also stated that they can contact me at xxx number for clarifications.
I believe the above option works ..

What I do when I use my CC for booking tickets for others (and I am not accompanying them) is take a front and back xerox of the cc I used , remove the cvv, and clearly write that I bought the tickets for xxx and tickets are for xx sector, xx date and xx person.
