You realize that even if you were successful - Delta will hit you with YQ and tax - and let you have the fare for free - which in most cases BOM-DEL on Kingfisher or Jet is $1 - and at most $25 each way
This is a breakdown of IT DEL-BOM round trip - your miles would cover $1.70 of the RT fare....
Even assuming you didnt have to pay the $87 YQ - your miles would then be worth $88.70 (how many miles is a RT domestic in India using SkyPesos?)
Fare 1: $0.86
Fare 2: $0.84
IT YQ surcharge (YQ) $87.00
Indian Service Tax (JN) $9.20
IT YR surcharge (YR) $2.00
Indian Passenger Service Fee (WO) $11.40
Indian Service Tax (JN) $6.20
Subtotal per passenger $117.80
Number of passengers x1
Total airfare & taxes $117.80
