Getting an itinerary on Delta to Hyderabad
I have an upcoming trip to Hyderabad, India. I usually go into the Delta app and look for routes, and then call my company agent. Delta doesn't show anything to that airport. Just wondering what the best way is to try and book a flight that will keep on Delta or Delta partners most of the way, then possibly a switch in Mumbai or Bangalore to another carrier. Never flown to this part of the world.

Suggest using a site like flights.google.com or matrix.itasoftware.com to find routes/flight options. You can filter for specific carriers on either of those sites and find a DL/KL/AF option that might work.

I did JFK-AMS-BOM-HYD on DL + jet, back when there was AMS-BOM, all on a DL ticket. I think you have to go through DEL though - either LHR-DEL (VS) or AMS-DEL (KL), and then jet. Not sure if DL publishes a fare for it now though. You can get some routings on Orbitz if you put in KL, VS, and 9W as your "preferred airlines." Note than if you connect in india you will almost inevitably end up arriving really late, e.g. 11pm-1am, and would need to spend the night in your connection point. Not obvious, but I would recommend *not* taking the first connection, and take a proper hotel, stay the whole night there, then take a mid-morning flight to DEL. Or maybe look at DXB routings. Or say screw it and fly LHR-HYD on BA.

As the others have said, your options are limited to flying to BOM on AF via CDG or to DEL on KL via AMS, or to DXB.
I've arrived in BOM at 11 and then taken the 4pm or so 9W flight to BLR on a couple of occasions. Pretty brutal.
If I were you I'd seriously consider flying to DXB and connecting there.

Have you considered the new Delta-KLM-Jet Airways code share arrangement; one of the markets served is Hyderabad.

Make sure you price out USA-DEL/BOM-HYD and USA-DEL/BOM and DEL/BOM-HYD. That last leg may make your ticket more expensive if you do it as a single ticket.
I recently did BOS-AMS-DEL-PNQ. I spent an extra couple of days in DEL to relax and recover. Only I did DEL-PNQ on 6E because I bought tickets before the 9W announcement. This time of year, sitting by the pool in India does not exactly suck.

Rather than start a new thread, this one seemed pretty close to what I'm looking to do so thought I'd just continue this recent one that came up in my search.
I'm flying BOS>SIN, staying for a couple of days, then wanted to use DL miles to fly SIN>BLR but nothing comes up on DL website for this itinerary. Is there another way to use DL miles to get from SIN>BLR?
Work will only pay for one of these legs, and I figured it would take less miles for the Asia leg, but perhaps the only option is to use my DL miles for BOS>SIN and have work pay for SIN>BLR
