Best way to get to Mumbai?
...from Los Angeles. I'm not aware of direct flights from the west coast, but I have seen decent rates on virgin atlantic, which does of course have the added benefit of crediting to onepass. Would it make more sense to travel west, and connect through singapore/dubai/HK perhaps? Your thoughts are appreciated.

If you are looking for *A miles, you can't get much better than SQ via SIN. Your best OW choice is CX via HKG.

Are you asking for the best choice that lets you credit miles to OP?
In that case, you could fly CO LAX-EWR-BOM or LH LAX-FRA-BOM. Do you have status with CO, are you buying Y or C, hoping to use OP miles to upgrade?

ANA(NH), Turkish, Thai, Austrian, egyptair, can all also do it. Might avoid egyptair right now, though.
If it is paid J/F, book SQ, then Thai or ANA.

Thanks. Just to provide additional detail:
-I have no status with CO, but will probably be silver by the time of this trip. Not expecting this will help much anyways.
-It would be nice to use miles for an upgrade, but not if it means paying a significantly higher price for a difference booking class or carrier.
