Flying Dubai to Delhi covers about 1,360 miles, linking Dubai International Airport (DXB) with Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL); a nonstop takes roughly 3h15, with winds moving it either way. Nonstop award space in the data comes from Air India, Emirates, and flydubai. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Boeing 777-300ER, Airbus A380-800, and Boeing 737-800. About 21% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
Points have to beat the cash fare to earn their keep on Dubai–Delhi. The economy floor is a partner booking on an Air India nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $68, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. When the fare is low, pay cash and hold the points for a pricier trip. The exception is business class: at about 1.5 times economy, it's the cabin where an award is most worth checking against the cash fare.
Air Canada Aeroplan wins economy at 15,000 points and business class at 22,500. Qantas Frequent Flyer takes first class at 78,400 points on an Emirates nonstop. The other four programs include American AAdvantage, Emirates Skywards, and Alaska Atmos Rewards. Economy is also priced as a partner award, so the miles and the metal come from different airlines.
Air India, Emirates, and flydubai all show nonstop award space on Dubai–Delhi. As a Star Alliance member, Air India also sells its nonstop through alliance partners, not only Air India's own program. Partner pricing sets the business-class floor: Air Canada Aeroplan books Air India as a Star Alliance partner, and no program prices Air India lower in that cabin at last check.
