I could see that in all best redemption option is United airlines. You can select number of pax and destination you even have option to see calendar which dates available or cheaper in that month and they use all their network to give you ticket with capped points unlike vistara which charges extra miles based on sectors.

In some of the YouTube video I have seen they mentioned if we book a flight in which our destination is mid flight (a stopping point), then it will be cheaper in comparison to booking a flight whose final destination is our destination..?
There might be other complications with that... Especially if you are travelling international.. like ur baggage etc .

With Aeroplan, I can't find any flight between DEL and middle east (DXB/AUH). I tried "Book with points" option in Air Canada website. Is there any alternative options to search ?
