@honeysunny - Why Jet Airways... it isn't part of a good alliance is it? Plus it doens't get you enough points for an upgrade will it?

There are no known IGI airport (is probably Indra Gandhi International, you are referring to) it is called DEL in airport codes.

One of the good option, will be to fly via the Pacific, instead of Atlantic. You could add an additional stopover in either BKK/SIN/HKG. You could use UA MP to collect all miles and start your trip from one of this cities to NYC. Getting to any of this cities are usually very cheap on the regular carriers or even some LCCs.
