this isn't good fare forum.

while this may be a good fare to this particular destination, it's a horrible MR whether for EQM or RDM.

i fly for RDM (not EQM), and i wouldn't consider anything above 2 cpm to be good. "great deals" would be less than 1.5 cpm.

i DEFINITELY appreciate the OP trying, but let's put it in perspective. this isn't good, and the OP probably realizes that it is only half as good as originally thought.

let's assume that it was 3.3/1.65, it's still not a good MR for me if it requires staying in india 2-3 days. i didn't look at the fare info, but india flights i have studied in the past require 3-day stays.

add 3-4 days of airport parking, 2-3 days of india hotel, 2-3 days of missing work... you get the idea...
