Brother, I just did this flight from SAN in PE for $1600. It was quite an earner. However, whether its $1600 or almost $3000 in J, its also 4 days of your life just to do a turn around mileage run. If you were to compute what you are worth per hour, it makes the cost and sacrifice seem a bit more. So while I support this mileage run, you can add a free stop over in London and why not stay a few days in Bombay? Otherwise, it is quite a chore IMHO.
