I'd prefer to transfer these miles 1:1 to JP/AI/KF/SQ/TG/CX and use them there.
I made one mistake however in my last post. Domestic mileage redemption rates are fixed at 8400 miles for LCC, 10500 for eco Full service, 20-21K for biz (on BOM-DEL, example sake) which is in line with the redemption rates of various carriers. the international redemptions are fare dependant, since the administrator of the program is buying tix and purging your miles in the account in exchange. for example, y class BOM-HKG would come at 20K miles plus taxes/surchages. here, I tried a sample date and it offered me on 9w76 BOM-HKG 49K miles plus 1500 rs. i think, and this is a guess, that Rs. 49K is the cost of ticket to them and 1500 is for ST etc.
Hope this helps
