which carrier (earning 100% onepass miles) would be best from NYC to Bom?
[obviously, Continental doesn't do this route...]

Pricing.. I'm getting around $1000 [tax inclusive] for Virgin and Emirates and around $1250 for Delta (JFK-BOM)... I haven't flown Virgin OR Emirates to Bombay before

Also, I believe I get my Platinum OnePass Bonus (125%) on Emirates and Delta, but not on Virgin.

As far as what I'm looking for.. would be "most fun" and free booze in Y... shortest flight doesn't really matter... Thoughts?

Thank you.
I would choose Virgin and Emirates if you want to enjoy free booze. not to mention the IFEs on both carriers. Emirates has the ICE and Virgin has the V:Port. Both are AVOD with over 300 Hrs of videos etc. You will enjoy both flights.
