Comparison between 9W and IT FF programs
 

Am in process of moving from NY to Bombay. Will continue to do a bunch of international travel, but also domestic. All domestic in J/C class. Like IT J class but believe Kingfisher Club program is not that great. How does it compare to 9W's program?

If you have a CO/NW card you can earn EQMs on IT. Unfortunately not on AF.

9W has a much better network than IT across India (but again, it depends on which city pairs you fly to and what flights you find convenient).

PM SuperFlyBoy anyway - he's the 9W plat from hell and can clue you in on the 9W program, besides being based out of BOM ..

I do a lot of domestic India travel and have chosen to credit all of my IT flights to NW's program because it gets me elite qualifying miles and the elite status bonus too. It is generally much more rewarding for me to do this than participating in IT's program (unless with the IT Amex) or flying 9W and using 9W's program or 9W partner programs.

Any tips on the IT Amex, besides getting IT Gold?

Who has better award availbility?

Don't forget that Air India will be soon a member of *Alliance....

AI will. Indian Airlines (domestic flights) are branded as Air India these days but still sold off the Indian Airlines website, and operated under an IC code, not AI. So I am not sure if you will be able to get *A credit for domestic IC flights even after AI joins *A (which could take a year or two more, easily)
