Delhi just about does it, but you'd have to stay a day or so
On AC In PE with the COS bonus you'd get 18,075 SQM for $4664, and if you are OK with a stopover, $4231.
If you went economy it'd be way less cost (but fewer SQM, although comfort would be close) and business more, of course.
Add the hassle of an Indian visa
