Air India and Zomato partnered to let you earn airline miles on food orders. Link your Maharaja Club account to Zomato, and every meal brings you closer to your next trip.
How to Link Your Account
Linking takes just two minutes:
Open Zomato and go to your Profile menu and look for “Memberships & rewards” or the Air India Maharaja Club tile
Enter your Mobile Number


Verify with OTP and save.


Once linked, every order automatically earns Maharaja Points within 24 hours of delivery.
Earning Maharaja Points on Zomato
You earn 2% Maharaja Points on every order above Rs 499. For example:


This 2% rate is four times better than competing airline-food delivery partnerships.
Welcome Benefits
Free Zomato Gold: Get a complimentary 3-month Zomato Gold membership (worth ₹249/month) with free delivery and 30% restaurant discounts.
Bonus Points: New Maharaja Club members get 2,000 bonus Maharaja Points after their first flight activity.
Daily Flight Draw: One lucky member wins a one-way Economy Class flight voucher every day.
Real Earning Example
If you order twice a week at ₹800 each:
8 orders per month = ₹6,400 spend
Points per month: 128 Maharaja Points
Points per year: 1,536 Maharaja Points
A domestic flight typically costs 5,000 - 15,000 Maharaja Points, so you'd accumulate enough in 3-4 years of regular ordering. Combine with other Maharaja earning options to reach redemption faster.
Should You Link Your Account?
Yes, link today-it's free and gives you instant Zomato Gold plus miles on existing spend.
To maximize the deal:
Stack with Air India or Star Alliance credit cards for faster points accumulation.
Use Zomato Gold's 30% discounts during the free 3-month window.
Order consistently to improve daily draw odds.
Final Verdict
Link your account. The 2% earn rate, free Zomato Gold, and daily ticket draw make this worthwhile for anyone with Maharaja Club membership who orders from Zomato. Heavy users (3-4 orders weekly) see real redemption value, especially when combined with other Maharaja earning channels.
