Any programs affiliated with Indian Airlines?
 

I have no choice but to fly them later this month. Since I hate to spend even one minute on an airplane without earning miles somewhere, can any of you suggest a program that I can earn miles in by flying Indian Airlines?

Merci.

You might start by checking with its partners:

Bah, nothing. I'd already checked with LH and others, but to no avail. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Oh well, I guess that'll be a waste. And the flight's in J too!

Looks like Air France Frequence Plus allows you to earn miles on Indian Airlines, as per:

Aha! Thanks!

perhaps virgin? - they codeshare on the delhi-lon route.

I doubt it. I researched this last month and the only ff relationship seems to be Air France. They also codeshare with TG on the bkk-ccu route but no opportunity for TG or *A miles unless you pay the (usually) higher fare for the codeshare.

You may want to fly Jet Airways instead. I believe that it partitipates in NW Worldperks.

I wish I could, but I am going to CMB (Colombo, Sri Lanka) and Jet dosn't fly there. I suppose I could re-word my question to ask if there are any *A or NW/CO partners flying to CMB...

You could maximize star miles by flying into MAA on LH rather than BOM or DEL. Probably an extra 700 or so plus the flight on Indian Airlines will only be a couple of hundred miles. You could also take star all the way by connecting in BKK/SIN to TG/SQ but this will probably take longer. Malaysian also gives NW miles and flies from KUL to CMB.
