Have you noticed the LLRIND DEL fares? The base fare is $848+ from ORD (other origins available for a small premium), and doesn't need to be on the AA non-stops; AF/LH/BA etc are valid carriers on the Europe-DEL segment. AY is also available on the non-stop HEL-DEL, and AY offers full AA mileage credit on their discounted fares.

But the real deal is that you can add stopovers for around $50 each. Which offers some crazy possibilities, ORD-BUD(o)-DEL(o)-ARN(o)-ORD, for example, is $898+. DFW-MAD(o)-DEL(o)-MOW(o)-DFW is $1003. (Yep, Moscow in May is nice!)

There is no minimum stay requirement in DEL; immediate turn-arounds are possible.

This fare appears to be a great way to get a nice multi-stopover European trip for this fall or late spring - and rack up a bunch of miles.
