Definitely watching this thread as I can’t seem to find any good routing to Hyderabad from anywhere on Delta metal or Skyteam. Looks like there is some sort of codeshare with Jet/KLM but not sure...

Last year I flew into Delhi connecting in Amsterdam via partner airline. Once in India I used Jet Airways to get around. There are other super cheap domestic airlines but none that partner with Delta. St. Regis in Bombay is phenomenal. Not sure of the points redemption but cost per night was VERY reasonable. Likely cheaper than paying on the award chart using points. Westin in Gurgaon was also great

Lufthansa for Star Alliance is the best bang for buck to india.

You can transfer those marriott Miles to united.

42.5k for economy or 85 for business

You can transfer those marriott points to ~110,000 United Miles. Transfer rate is 3:1.1

Hope this helps.

If you are booking cash or Amex MR fly one of the Arab carriers. Qatar should have good routings.

Btw I used Hyderabad because I saw D1s comment. OP Delhi and Mumbai probably have better flights. :)

Thanks AM1, I looked at the option of transferring points to miles and it is not working out well since round trip is coming up to ~130k. And it’s Atl-Del.
