From what city will your Mom be starting?
Focusing just on the percentage bonus without also considering the particular program's redemption rates for Business Class travel is a little short-sighted. And, of course, you don't necessarily have to redeem miles from the same program for the roundtrip: many FFPs offer one-way awards.
I don't recall seeing a 100% bonus offer from AA; usually their deals work out to about a 50% bonus (equivalent to about a 33% discount on the cost of miles).
Have you checked to see what AS is currently offering? Their redemption rates to India on CX via HKG tend to be decent.
