[CardUser28]

Which card is best for ~40 domestic flights (40*5k = 20000 annually) spend, I generally use the direct airlines' website or EaseMyTrip/MMT for booking.

If your routes are flown by vistara then Vistara Infinite as it's a card made for flights

Else you can look for top HDFC cards and book via smartbuy or get Magnus if you can hit the milestone half of the months of the year

Assuming you're flying economy, get Vistara Base Level Cards from Axis & SBI. They both give 1 ticket (valued at 4.5-6.5k based on routes) for 1500+GST which I find is a great deal.

For Flights depends on which cards you hold, platform doesn't matter as more or less they are the same

AU Bank currently runs Flat 15% offer in Paytm, Cleartrio and Yatra

Which can be availed once a week, Other than that if you have DCB or Infinia , Smartbuy gives approx 17 % points /cashback. I personally use a combination of AU card , Bank of Baroda and DCB for flight bookings

Then every bank runs 'offers' on some platform or other

Recently during Diwali sale Amazon was giving 20%+10% off on Vistara flights booked through amazon using Amazon Pay card

In Club Vistara you can add upto 8 people and then you cannot change the names for 1 year after addition

Correct, Hence there isn't one card for everything, Just like there isn't one Aircraft carrier for all your destinations

Can I use the milestone vouchers on Vistara cards even if it's not a direct flight? Is there a cap on the pricing of the ticket?
