I am in a currently in the process of purchasing an air ticket through an 
agent in Holland. The details are:

Departure: NYC
To:	   DEL/BOM
Carrier:   AIR INDIA
via:	   LON, with stopover if desired
Restrictions: minimum stay 6 nights, max stay 6 months

fare: 	   $ 875 return; 

This agent, Ad Latjes, has an attorney in NYC; you can pick up your
tickets from there (no checks mailed into the blue yonder..). He also has
a toll free number: 1-800-626-4280. 

The fare sounds unrealistically low, since the going discount rate for
AIR INDIA seems to be ~$1050-1100. I understand that this is made possible
by the strong dollar and high traffic in the NYC-LON and LON-DEL sectors,
so that two parts are less than the whole.

Anyone to shed any further light? If you mail me, I'll summarise along with
my own experience in about two weeks.
