Roughly 4,180 miles separate Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) and London Heathrow Airport (LHR), so a nonstop spends about 8h55 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, and Air India. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Airbus A350-1000, Airbus A350-900, and Boeing 787-8. Expect mostly connecting results: only about 7% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
On a long-haul trip like Delhi–London, pick the cabin before the program. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers costs more. Taxes on the cheapest economy seat are missing from the data; check the cash portion at checkout before committing. Premium economy runs about 50 times the economy price and business about 110 times, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees.
Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles takes economy at 210 points. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is cheapest in premium economy at 10,500 points and business class at 23,000, both on Virgin Atlantic nonstops. American AAdvantage lists first class from 62,500 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Among the remaining 12 programs, Air Canada Aeroplan, Avianca LifeMiles, and Copa ConnectMiles are good places to cross-check.
Delhi–London draws nonstop award space from three alliances: Virgin Atlantic (SkyTeam), British Airways (oneworld), and Air India (Star Alliance). Partner programs in all three alliances can each book a nonstop. The cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in Dubai, Frankfurt, and Istanbul.
Pricing the round trip? London to Delhi is tracked separately, and awards can price differently each way. London awards can also land at Gatwick (LGW) or Stansted (STN), so check the arrival code before transferring points. For a shorter trip from Delhi, Dubai and Hong Kong are tracked too.
