Anyways, I think you're asking the wrong question. Removing YQ doesn't necessarily mean it's the cheapest (or best value) since different airlines have different redemption rates. AI is a great example of this. They've removed YQ but their award charts are almost 2x-3x that of SQ or UA in many situations. So I would never pick it for international travel. However if I was looking at redeeming on very short distances within in India (<10,000 miles) I would pick it over SQ (but not UA).
What you should think about is your travel patterns and how you plan to redeem. Otherwise AI is an easy answer to what you're looking for but will not necessarily save you anything.

Nope.
There are several websites but they mainly cover US and the larger European airlines https://www.rewardexpert.com/blog/ho...-award-tickets. Looking at fare breakup on ITA Matrix is always a good way to check.

To be more specific, I was looking for the following 3-4 routes to redeem minimum miles in business class and lowest yQ. I am ok to split the transfer between the airlines if required.
1) Intra-India
2) Intra-asia like India -SE asia
3) India-Europe/Middle East
4) India-USA
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Thanks a lot @PiperAtGatesofDawn. This helps. I was actually looking at best possible airline transfer with reasonable miles requirements and lower yQ. I understand that air india charges 2-3x of other airlines, so maybe not a good solution to avoid yQ.

There's no perfect FFP for that but here it is to the best of my knowledge: 1 - 9W. 2 - CX or OZ or SQ (I prefer SQ because it has the best J in the world). 3 - EU - SQ; ME - ??? 4 - IF West Coast SQ; East Coast - ???. Generally avoid BA for all and 9W & AI for international travel.Take it one step at a time. There's no need to transfer all your miles to any FFP right away. Transfer your miles to a program only when you're ready to travel. Look at which FFP has award seats available for when you want to travel and then transfer your miles there.
Citi reward points don't expire but FFP miles generally do. So unless there's a devaluation (which is usually notified well in advance), your points are far safer with Citi than all piled into 1 FFP which you can't use when you want to travel because that program doesn't have suitable awards available.

Is there any good redemptions in CP Asia Miles as well?

But once again... you should look at specific itinerary and identify specific award flights you want to take and then discuss which one is better than the other.

CP Asia Miles is CX. I'm not very familiar with them. Their charts are a little complicated because they use 4-5 (maybe more) different award charts. They are supposed to be quite decent esp. within Asia. I think their best value is leveraged in multi-stop itineraries because they calculate at a overall not a per leg basis.
