Updated as of 28 Oct 2026. Route details from Air India’s 1 Aug 2026 announcement. Maharaja Club prices from our own searches on Air India’s app for 11 Nov 2026 and 13 Jan 2027. Partner award space from seats.aero on 8 dates between 11 Nov 2026 and 5 Mar 2027, and cash fares from Google Flights, all checked 28 Oct 2026.

Air India’s new Mumbai–Toronto flight started on 25 October on a 777-300ER with First class. And unlike most new routes, you can book Business on points right now, through Air India’s own Maharaja Club. Here’s the schedule, what it costs, and the catch on early dates.

The flight

Flight	Departs	Arrives	Days
AI193 Mumbai–Toronto	4:00am	10:00am, same day	Wed, Fri, Sun
AI192 Toronto–Mumbai	12:30pm	2:10pm, next day	3 a week

The catch on early dates: on the November and December dates we checked, AI193 leaves Mumbai at 12:25am and makes one stop on the way, taking 20 hours 5 minutes. It’s the same plane and flight number, but it isn’t nonstop. From January, it shows as the 4:00am nonstop (16 hours 30 minutes) that Air India announced. Check the flight details before you book. The good news: Maharaja Club charges the same points on the January nonstop.

• Plane: an upgraded 777-300ER with 8 First suites with sliding doors, 40 flat-bed Business seats and 280 Economy seats. Wi-Fi on board. No premium economy.
• Delhi too: Delhi–Toronto runs 10 times a week this winter, 7 of them on a brand-new 787-9. Air India says every Toronto flight will have new or upgraded cabins by January 2027.

What it costs in cash

Mumbai–Toronto nonstop, one way	Cash
Economy	US$1,867 (₹1,76,300)
Business	US$3,366 (₹3,17,900)
First	US$12,966 (₹12,24,400)

On points: Maharaja Club has Business seats

Cabin	Programme	Points one way	Worth about	Seen
Economy	Air India Maharaja Club	50,000 + ₹4,741	₹55,000	13 Jan nonstop (2 seats left), 11 Nov
Economy	United MileagePlus	49,500	₹54,500	5 Feb
Economy	Aeroplan	60,000	₹78,000	11 Nov, 2 Dec, 5 Feb
Business	Air India Maharaja Club	1,30,000	₹1,43,000	13 Jan nonstop (1 seat left), 11 Nov (5 seats left)
Business	Aeroplan, United	–	–	Not open to partners on any date we checked
First	Aeroplan	1,50,000	₹1,95,000	5 Mar
First	United MileagePlus	2,20,000	₹2,42,000	5 Mar
First	Air India Maharaja Club	2,70,000	₹2,97,000	11 Nov, 1 seat left

Business: Maharaja Club is the only way we found to book it on points, at 1,30,000 against ₹3.18 lakh in cash. Partners like Aeroplan and United don’t see these seats yet. First: Aeroplan at 1,50,000 is far cheaper than Maharaja Club’s 2,70,000 when it shows, against ₹12.2 lakh in cash.

Getting the points: Axis Burgundy Private and Magnus for Burgundy (5:4), Atlas (1:2) and Olympus (1:4) transfer to Maharaja Club, Aeroplan and United. HDFC Infinia and Diners Black move 2:1 to all three. HSBC TravelOne and Premier, ICICI Emeralde Private and SBI Card MILES move 1:1 to Maharaja Club. Check every card on our Air India Maharaja Club and Aeroplan pages, and every route on our Airline Partner Map.

What to do

You are…	What to do
Want Business on points	✅ Search Maharaja Club; 1,30,000 one way, open on the January nonstop too
Want First on points	✅ Aeroplan at 1,50,000 when it shows; Maharaja Club costs 2,70,000
Want the true nonstop	⚠️ Fly from January; November and December flights make a stop
Flying economy	✅ About 50,000 on Maharaja Club or United
Travelling after 26 March	❌ The route is winter-only for now; Air India hasn’t said if it returns

DealUni take: a rare new route where Business is bookable on points from day one, at 1.3 lakh Maharaja points. Book from January for the nonstop, and grab Aeroplan First if you see it. Seedha Toronto, aur business points pe bhi. (Straight to Toronto, and business on points too.)
