Booking AI flight using sky miles?
Hi folks. I had a question. I tried calling delta to redeem sky miles for an air india flight but delta told me that AI no longer has award seats that are bookable through delta. I do have BA miles and United miles too and wanted to check what is the best way to book AI flight?

have already replied on the other thread where you posted the same question....i don't think there was ever an option to book ai flights using dl miles....also, ba & ua miles won't work either....you can however use ua miles to book 9w flights....

I saw a code share agreement on wiki and thought would give it a try and the agent sounded as though she thought this was possible before but she said that she can book a revenue ticket over the phone on AI but not a award ticket.
I do have access to Amex MR too. So would kris flyer be the best option with MR? I also have access to chase UR points if that would help?

There is only 1 direct AI flight from BLR to Mle that I wanted to try and book.
