Best routing for PVG-MAA?
Seems like this routing will take a very long time. Any suggestions on best connection? Via HKG or SIN or KUL? Or via BOM or DEL?

Air India actually provides relatively convenient online connections at Bangkok for the Shanghai to Chennai route, with the PVG-BKK sector on AI metal and BKK-MAA on TG metal codeshared by AI.
Shortest elapsed time online connection is on Singapore Airlines via Singapore.

Air India has a special PVG-MAA business class roundtrip fare of 10892 Yuan (US$1300) available online at airindia.com. That is probably at least around 30-40% cheaper than anything Singapore Airlines is offering in Raffles Class.
