No idea how to get Air India miles. But they are star alliance so amex to aeroplan might be an option, if you have amex.
For Star Alliance (and thus Air India), you can also transfer Chase UR to United or Citi TYP to new partner Avianca.
Within AA, DOH is a valid transfer point for single awards to the Indian Subcontinent. So QR (Qatar Airways) USA<->DOH<->India can be a single award. You have to search for QR award availability on other oneworld airline sites (or on
www.awardnexus.com, which can search through BA and/or QF using the same user; singup is free for FT users, just click "more signup options" under the green Purchase button). You can't search for QR availability on aa.com.
