At about 3,670 miles from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) to Tokyo's Narita International Airport (NRT), a nonstop runs roughly 7h50, give or take with the winds. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: Japan Airlines. The Boeing 787-8 appears on those nonstop award segments. Only about 5% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
On a long-haul trip like Delhi–Tokyo, pick the cabin before the program. The economy floor is a partner booking on a Japan Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Expect about $22 in taxes and fees on top, below the route's typical economy taxes. Moving up to business costs about 1.8 times the economy points. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.
American AAdvantage wins economy at 22,500 points and business class at 40,000, both on Japan Airlines nonstops. First class starts at 199,000 points through Etihad Guest on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Of the other nine, Air Canada Aeroplan, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Qantas Frequent Flyer are worth a look too.
The data has one nonstop award carrier on Delhi–Tokyo: Japan Airlines. Its oneworld membership means alliance partners can sell that seat too, not only Japan Airlines' own program. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Bangkok, Seoul, and Hong Kong. The lowest business-class award here is a oneworld partner booking: the Japan Airlines nonstop through American AAdvantage.
At the Tokyo end, Haneda (HND) matches the route's 22,500-point economy floor. Haneda also logs nonstop flights from Delhi in the data. Check the arrival airport code on the award before moving points. For a shorter trip from Delhi, Dubai and Hong Kong are tracked too.
