Air India just announced a major upgrade to its Maharaja Club loyalty programme! Frequent flyers can now earn and redeem their Maharaja Points on flights operated by Air India Express to over 55 destinations across South, Southeast, and West Asia. This expansion opens up a world of possibilities for members.
Air India Express Flyers Can Now Earn And Redeem Their Maharaja Points
Maharaja Club members can earn points not only on Air India flights but also on Air India Express journeys. This means that every trip taken on Air India Express contributes to the members’ point tally and tier progression, making it easier to climb the ranks within the programme. Members can earn points by booking through the Air India and Air India Express websites, mobile apps, or via select travel agents, seamlessly integrating more options for point accumulation into their travel routines.

Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer of Air India and Chairman of Air India Express, emphasized that the expansion of the Maharaja Club is designed to enhance travel experiences for loyal customers. He stated, “Our aim is to ensure that every journey contributes meaningfully to the relationship between our travelers and the Air India group, and with the growth of the Air India Express network, this initiative is both timely and vital.”
How Can You Earn Maharaja Points While Flying With Air India Express
Earning Maharaja Points on the Express flights is simple. Members simply need to enter their Maharaja Club ID during booking to ensure they receive their points. You must also note that retrospective claims for points are not accepted in this initial rollout phase. This new structure is applicable to a variety of bookings, including special fares for senior citizens, students, and armed forces personnel, offering a consistent earning structure that is easy to navigate.
For those excited to redeem their points, it is now possible to use Maharaja Points for award flights on Air India Express, provided the flights bear Air India’s ‘AI’ designator code. A member booking a flight through the Air India platform can find options that include Air India Express services. With redemption starting as low as 1,500 Maharaja Points for certain sectors, the value of the programme is more prominent than ever.
