Roughly 6,920 miles separate Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), so a nonstop spends about 14h25 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: Air India. The Boeing 777-300ER appears on those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: less than 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
On an ultra-long-haul trip like Vancouver–Delhi, pick the cabin before the program. The cheapest economy seat connects twice, and the data has no economy nonstop to pay up for: Air India's nonstop shows up only in first class. Mind the airport change in New York: you land at LaGuardia (LGA) and leave from John F. Kennedy (JFK), so allow time for the transfer. The economy floor adds about $70 in taxes and fees, in line with the route's typical economy taxes.
American AAdvantage takes economy at 33,000 points and business class at 70,000. Alaska Atmos Rewards is cheapest in premium economy at 55,000 points. Air Canada Aeroplan wins first class at 130,000 points on an Air India nonstop. Among the remaining seven programs, United MileagePlus, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Etihad Guest are good places to cross-check. Premium economy is a partner award on British Airways too.
The data has one nonstop award carrier on Vancouver–Delhi: Air India. Its Star Alliance membership means alliance partners can sell that seat too, not only Air India's own program. The better-priced connecting awards in the data run through London, Hong Kong, and Paris. The lowest business-class award here is a oneworld partner booking: British Airways seats on the long-haul leg through American AAdvantage.
Vancouver–Delhi has no same-metro alternates in the data on either end, so shifting dates does the work a second airport would. For a shorter trip from Vancouver, Calgary and Cancun are tracked too.
