Vistara is offering 50% off partner awards until 15 April 2024. This is probably the first time Vistara has offered 50% off in all these years. The Vistara Partner Award Chart was not very useful, and CV Points were ineffective for booking partner awards. However, this has changed with the Vistara Partner Award Offer.
Vistara Partner Airlines
There are five Vistara Partner Airlines:
- Air Canada
- Japan Airlines
- Lufthansa
- Singapore Airlines
- United Airlines

How to book?
You can’t search online for Vistara Partner awards; only Vistara customer care can help you book them. To book these partner awards, you need to call +91-9289228888.
Things to Consider
There are two things to consider. One is availability. The success of this offer will depend on how many awards are made available to Vistara. I think there should not be any problem with Singapore Airlines. However, with other airlines, availability may be limited. Still, check with Vistara Customer Support to see any availability. The second is customer support capability.
Vistara is also running a Club Vistara Points fest, during which you can get up to 40% Bonus CV Points. These bonus points will be credited within 30 days [as per the latest update on the website; earlier, it was 60 days on the website; however, customer support says it is still 60 days]. Even though this offer looks lucrative, transferring points may make sense for a few. I would rather use the stacked-up vistara points. However, it all depends on many things.
Bottomline
The Vistara Partner Award Offer with a 50% discount is great if you can find award availability. Using it for direct flights makes sense, as connecting flights are considered a separate segment. Transferring points for this specific offer may not be useful for many.
