I went thru this thread today and see most of ur queries are replied or u have been given detailed replies and advises..
My two cents..
1. Ur itinerary has all full service carriers and AFAIK, all these hv interline agreements which means that ur luggage will be checked in to your final destination which is BOM in this case ..
Thanks for that information. It is a relief to know my luggage will be moved and I don't need to worry about it. How did you find about this interline agreement?

Delayed baggage which can become lost as i will not be at the city where I will be landing. I will be landing in Mumbai, but then taking a train from there to another city so if my luggage comes to Mumbai after a day, I will have left the city so the airlines may choose to discard it.

I would try sites and am sure you may get reasonable fares from BOM - JFK from other airlines( on only their carriers) at lil higher prices..am sure u must hv checked, but try some options and u will get something, also try from ur end point in India, since maybe the site will give u an alternative from another intl airport ( say chennai, hyderabad etc) which may be less crowded..@:-)
I am choosing Mumbai as flying there is less pricey than going to other airports closer to my home town.
