DXB To US fares are not cheap in F/J.
India -DXB- US fares are much more cheaper.
2 tickets needed.
India - long stopover at DXB-- US- stopover at DXB - India. Return
DXB- India ( can even take the economy as I would personally throw away the return if I am DXB based. Another option is a DXB - India J out Y in which will usually be cheaper than a J single)
Travel out to India using the second ticket and fly back using the India DXB portion of the first ticket. Utilise the 'stop over ' at DXB and fly to the US and return to DXB for the next 'stopover'. Throw away the last bit of DXB -India
You can save 30 %or sometimes even 50% off the normal DXB -US First fare.
Even on J fares there is usually a 20-30% saving.
If you do have a reason to visit India then that's the icing on the cake :-)
