A flight out of the west coast seems to be the most promising.

Singapore Airlines charged me $1075 for a round trip between
Los Angeles and Madras, and this included a 5-day stopover in Singapore
(hotel stay was on me, of course). The full price is around $1500/1600,
but my travel agency, Maharajah Travel's, Houston, gave me a sizeable
reduction.

Alok, the travel agent, is filled with a Punjabi's bonhomie, so be 
careful not to get engaged in a "LONG" distance conversation.

The only problem of flying this route is the Madras Airport, which is 
ablsolutely the MOST inefficient airport in India now.
( The other airports only vying for second place !). Be warned.

Bon Voyage
