DL will announce JFK-BOM beginning on November 1, 2006. This will allow for New York customers to avoid having to backtrack to ORD, and connect in DEL if going to BOM.
DL's new BusinessElite service, with cabin and meal updates, and a new AVOD system, seems poised for success.

We will now pause our normal programming for a commercial sponsored by another airline. (But not much longer...)

Looks like our suspended friend was correct about DL launching non-stop JFK-BOM:

DL's JFK-BOM non-stop will work well enough for me, although I'd much prefer a morning (i.e., "daytime") arrival into Bombay instead of another late night one. In any event, another route to possibly use my DL PMUs is welcomed by me.

LLRIND fares
This is definitely OT but I'm going to post it here because it doesn't really fit the MR forum...
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.
Available on aa.com and other sources.

Definitely a great find. We just booked ORD-DEL (outbound 8/31, return 9/5 with plenty of C inventory if you want to join us) and would have considered extending it with the LLRIND fares if my parents weren't coming with us. For some reason, they're not into the mileage run thing.

Just playing around with more examples... Say you want to go to Paris next spring...
A simple ORD-CDG-ORD (AA) for next May is $810+ for 8305 miles.
But, for another $38, you can do ORD-CDG(o)-HEL-DEL(o)-HEL-FCO-ORD, using AA non-stops across the pond and AY for the other segments giving you 18043 miles!! And full EQM and EQPs. And, you can VIP AA42 and AA111.
This, friends, is a steal.
