Looked at a possible one-way EWR-DEL on April 9.
On United.com the cheapest is EWR-DEL with one stop in HKG at $2143 (Q + Y). Direct EWR-DEL is $3599 (B). NOTHING is showing up in low buckets AT ALL anymore.
Google flights finds the cheapest United flight as: LGA-ORD-EWR-DEL in (T + W and taking 29 hours) for $902 and wants to book it on united.com???
WHAT IS GOING ON????
No GPU or RPU searches possible now.
Not unusual at all for international one way fares to be sky-high. There is no fare published EWR to DEL which is lower than B. It's silly that the one way fare is more than four times the total cost of the cheapest round trip ticket, but there you have it.
LGA-ORD-EWR-DEL is a really clever way to backtrack without officially backtracking, and fares as NYC to CHI // CHI to DEL.
If K space were open it would almost be cheaper than any OW to book an EWR-DEL RT and throw away the return
