My goal would be to stack miles like crazy and redeem them later on, 24 mos +

From what I read KF = 1 Mile per dollar (basically) + spend rewards, 9W 2 Miles per dollar but no bonuses.

KF does offer Gold status which may be good if they go OW and I need lounge access stateside?

As a final question, how do these airlines calculate "million miles", via BIS or total earned (just a longshot question)

Thanks to abhilife and saad as well as other Airlines of India experts in advance!
where did you read that the kf card is not open to indian citizens from ccu????

on kingfisher you get i point for every inr 40 & 10 times the points if you use it to book on flykingfisher.com which with jet you get 1 point for every inr 25 & booking on jetairways.com will get you twice that....

kingfisher will be part of ow by mid next year so gold status will be pretty handy then....

i'm not sure about the millions miles & what benefit that would have....i have about a couple million miles on jet but i never got any extra benefit....
