I just bought tickets for going to India.  The round trip fare
by Air-India (discounted by the local travel agent) is $1,075.
This fare is for NYC-Bombay/Delhi round trip. In addition
to this, there is a $15 surcharge for week-end flights (leaving
on Friday or Saturday) and a $3 airport tax.  Some agents
in the New York news paper India-Abroad have advertised
lower prices for chartered flights.  I also know someone
who has found the cheapest way to go to India.  Fly to
-kkAmsterdam by Peoples and then to New Delhi by Aeroflot (The
Russian Air Line) via Moscow (free overnight stop).
The catch is that (in winter) Moscow airport may be closed
due to bad weather. The cost is less that $1,000.
