Maybe book your flights to Dubai on miles and then buy a ticket to India from there? Or try one ways from the US to Dubai and the India to the US. Depending on where you are going in India you can get some great deals with spg and Marriott points - the Sheraton in Jaipur for example is 3000 points a night. The JW in Mumbai is @25k but if you stay at the courtyard it's 10k so there are options. In Dubai if you have spg status the le meridian near the airport is a low redemption hotel and they have a fantastic wing of the hotel for members

Just bout a round trip to Dubai for a little under a grand. Used a random airline that I don't have status with but seemed like a good price. And use SPG points for hotel. 10k a night gets you some incredible places, and you get a free night!

Using United miles is very expensive too- any tips and tricks and insight into how to make the most of my miles and etc ?

Use united miles to fly Turkish

^ via United site or via Turkish website?

Hop on a Spirit flight to Chicago or Boston and fly out from there. Normally a fair amount cheaper. I do that when I go and I live in ATL

DC is also a hub to Dubai so look at those cheaper options. Do you have any points besides SPG, Marriott, United?

Maybe a few on AA but nothing substantial
