I saw TK in April and "looked into" the program. High taxes but some great value redemptions. Oh and don't even bother trying to book partner seats unless you have the patience of a saint.

This is probably what I would have been interested in doing, but I guess it's going to be a major hassle - like Jet Airways!!

Interesting - usually the sectors I would have to fly on TK would involve an overnight either outbound or return from BOM...
OMG - you tried?

TK - pretty decent airlines + spectacular lounge in IST. So if you can snag BOM - US J tickets - it's great value @ 105k miles. BOM - EU @ 60k, even inter US is 25k miles for a round trip!
The bad thing - high YQ & booking tickets is a huge pain. I've never figured out how they manage to charge YQ on UA!

Best airline depends on where you want to go. Identify destination(s) you want to travel to and then look at airlines and award availability on your planned dates.

I see no further value on my Citi PM card, its the Mastercard version.
1. I have about 200k+ points on it, is there any bonus transfer in effect now?
2. I would prefer 9W, BA or an american program, what are the suggestions from the group. Travel is domestic or US.

it had been a while since i last looked at the list of partners the citi prestige card has....there seems to be some change in the airline partners while most of the hotel partners have been dropped....
i've redeemed some points from my card recently & am now left with around 150k points which would translate into 600k miles....i'm looking to use these to book 4 business class tickets between india - u.s. for next summer....since delta is no longer a partner & ai seems to have no business class availability for 1 passenger, let alone 4, i'm a little lost in terms of the other frequent flyer programs....i'm not a member of any of them baring 9w (which no longer flies to the u.s.)....would anyone here be able to recommend one of these in terms of business class availability & yq????

Virgin allocate 4 seats on flights too. Or transfer over to SQ and use their partner award chart for Lufthansa/Swiss?

VS does have high-ish YQ but still less than BA across the board, your other option SQ is not that forgiving in terms of YQ it is generally lower than VS but not by a huge margin but you'd be hard pressed to find 4 J seats is SQ but I haven't looked since the new nonstop route so YMMV

4 J awards! Now that’s a big ask! Also, I think the average mileage requirement is ~200k miles for J saver award returns... so you’re probably a few miles short.
The best way to do is to probably split it into 2 flights. Based on Citi’s partners I think BR (probably low YQ) and SQ (0 YQ on SQ, low on *A) will be your best bets.
I’m not sure about YQ on QF. I think it’s quite low on CX. I think most of the others have YQ. VS certainly has heavy YQ.
Availability will depend on dates. For *A availability you can always search on the UA, AC and NH. You can seach on UA without signing up for their MP FFP and it’s generally fairly accurate.

Virgin will charge you around 40k YQ return but their miles are usually quite low. Think it's around 170k return. DL is around 200+?
