Here is a quick summary of what's in the release:
Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, today announced that it will commence daily non-stop flights from Mumbai to Johannesburg from April 14th, 2010. The airline will introduce services to the Rainbow Nation using a new state-of-the-art Airbus 330-200 aircraft.
...
Flight 9W 242 will depart Mumbai at 0205 hours, arriving in Johannesburg at 0735 hrs. On the return leg, flight 9W 241 will depart Johannesburg at 1100 hrs, arriving in Mumbai at 2330 hrs.*
...
Return Economy fares from various Indian cities start from INR 35,595 while return Premiere (Business Class) fares start from INR 1,16,020.**
The Y fare seems pretty competitive, before whatever the YQ and taxes are. Not sure what J normally is for this route.
EDIT: Darn, no such luck during World Cup season (rt ai ~65K INR). Oh well.
