๐บ Business Class: JUST 25,000 EVA Infinity Miles one-way
๐ HSBC Points โ EVA Infinity Miles at 1:1

๐จ DEEP DIVE: EVA AIR for INDIAN Travellers ๐ฎ๐ณโ๏ธ
With EVA Air launching non-stop daily flights from Delhi, and with HSBC โ EVA Air at 1:1, this deserves a closer look. ๐
The PROGRAM: EVA Airโs Infinity MileageLands.
โ๏ธ What is EVA Air?
---
๐น๐ผ EVA Air is Taiwanโs flagship carrier and a Star Alliance member.
The big India development: EVA Air is launching nonstop Delhi โ Taipei from 1 Dec 2026, 5x weekly on an A330-300.
That makes the program much more interesting for Indian travellers.
๐ The BIG Sweet Spot
---
DEL โ Japan ๐ฏ๐ต
EVAโs own award chart prices travel within Asia at:
๐ฅ 25,000 Infinity MileageLands miles โก๏ธ Business Class, one-way
Economy = 17,500
Premium Economy = 20,000
Business = 25,000
And importantly, Delhi is explicitly included in EVAโs Asia region.
So you can potentially unlock:
๐ฎ๐ณ Delhi โ ๐น๐ผ Taipei โ ๐ฏ๐ต Tokyo/Osaka/etc.
for just 25K miles in Business Class one-way.
๐ Taipei Sweet Spots
---
Additionally, once you get to Taipei, the award chart gets VERY interesting:
๐น๐ผ Taipei โ Hong Kong
โข Economy: 10K
โข Business: 25K
๐น๐ผ Taipei โ Bali ๐ฎ๐ฉ
โข Economy: 17.5K
โข Business: 25K
๐น๐ผ Taipei โ Vietnam ๐ป๐ณ
โข Economy: 17.5K
โข Business: 25K
This creates a very interesting itinerary:
DEL ๐ฎ๐ณ โ TPE ๐น๐ผ โ Japan ๐ฏ๐ต / Bali ๐ฎ๐ฉ / Bangkok ๐น๐ญ / Singapore ๐ธ๐ฌ / Hong Kong ๐ญ๐ฐ
And the killer part:
25K HSBC Rewards โ 25K EVA miles โ Business Class within Asia
๐ HSBC โ EVA = 1:1
---
This is where it gets interesting for Indian points collectors.
HSBC Rewards transfer at 1:1 to Infinity MileageLands, that means:
25,000 HSBC Rewards โ 25,000 EVA miles
๐ฅ 25K HSBC = DEL โ Asia Business one-way
That is a very compelling use of HSBC points.
๐ซ Loyalty angle
---
EVA's program also has elite tiers:
๐ข Green
โช Silver
๐ก Gold
๐ Diamond
Silver and above come with benefits such as lounge access, while higher tiers add additional privileges and bonus award miles.
๐ฏ Bottomline
---
For Indian travellers, EVA Infinity MileageLands is no longer a โTaiwan-onlyโ niche program.
With:
HSBC โ EVA 1:1
+
25K Business Class DEL โ Asia
+
new nonstop DEL โ TPE service
โฆit deserves a place on your India points & miles radar. ๐ฅ
25K HSBC โ Japan / Hong Kong / Bali in Business Class?
Thatโs the sweet spot you should remember. ๐

โ๏ธ Have a redemption in mind?
This could be one of the lowest-cost opportunities to buy Avios โ but only buy if you already have a use case!
#Avios #QatarAirways #Qsuite
๐ AVIOS ร Northern Lights โ Scandinavia on the Cheap โ๏ธ๐
โ๏ธ Enter: Scandic Hotels Award Vouchers via Finnair โ these are one of the most underrated Avios sweet spots.
For ~2,000 Avios + taxes, you get a full hotel night + breakfast โ even in pricey cities across Finland, Norway & Sweden ๐จ
These vouchers often deliver outsized value where cash rates are sky-high, making Avios far more powerful than people realise. ๐
๐ซ๐ฎ Pair this with Finnairโs free Helsinki stopover:
Fly to Helsinki, stay a few days, then continue onward (say to Oslo or Stockholm) for no extra Avios when booked as a multi-city itinerary โ๏ธ

๐ฅ Is Accor Platinum via the PAID route worth it for ~10 nights/year?
ABSOLUTELY YES. Here's why ๐
Iโve already extracted โน1L+ in additional value from just 7 nights this year.
๐ First, the biggest Platinum perk:
2 Suite Night Upgrades
At Raffles Udaipur, 2 Suite nights alone can be worth โน50Kโโน60K+.
PLUS, complimentary breakfast even on the most basic room booking.
I reached Platinum via:
20N AMEX Platinum Charge + 30N Accor China
๐ต Investment: ~โน25K
Hereโs what Platinum delivered:
๐ Novotel Kolkata โ 2N
---
๐ธ Suite/Residence upgrade
๐ธ Breakfast + Lounge + cocktails
๐ Value: โน10Kโโน15K
๐ Novotel Juhu โ 1N
---
๐ธ Sea-facing upgrade
๐ธ 9AM check-in โ 5PM next-day checkout
๐ธ Breakfast for 2 days
๐ธ Lounge + cocktails
๐ Value: โน15Kโโน20K+
๐ Fairmont Mumbai โ 1N
---
๐ธ Junior Suite upgrade
๐ธ Breakfast + Gold Lounge + minibar
๐ Value: โน25K+
๐ Fairmont Jaipur โ 3N
---
๐ธ Signature Room upgrade
๐ธ Breakfast + Gold Lounge access
๐ Value: โน50K+
๐ฏ 7 nights โ โน1L+ value
Against ~โน25K investment!
And I still have 3 more nights to go. ๐
So yes, Iโm going PAID Platinum again this year.
๐ Even at ~10 nights/year, the math can work beautifully if you pick the right properties.
PS: find it amusing when some people act like the "quardians" of Accor Platinum and question why others want to achieve the status.
Let everyone play the game!
