I fly Untied here. Looking to travel international. Closest Star Alliance price is 1400.The cheapest one is from delta-klm around 860. How do I know if the point is worth this price difference? Help.

Can you suggest for how much of a price difference I can go for points and stick with Star?

Go to TPG and see how he values a mile and then calculate from there. At one glance any form of points you might gain doesn't make 609 dollars worth it. Or maybe my brain works too fast

Yeah.. I agree.. 600 is too much of a difference to consider.. But was curious though.. Thanks P1

Dude, check the layover time on Delta flight

I have to make 3 connections with delta.. 😕

I don't think they travel to India though.

I wouldn't pay 600 at and level for the miles. Go for the cheaper flight!!!

Flights to India never make sense on the points spectrum. They're cheap enough otherwise.

Take the United flight if you have status and can select a seat in economy plus.

Did a similar search for a flight later this year. Ended up going with my airline (Delta) for a $400 premium and already got upgraded to business class. So worth it and it will help me get to Diamond for next year.

Always take united nonstop from ord or ewr to india unless you have a trip planned on a real stopover. Source: I go once a month
