UA/LH/LX SFO to BOM around $2700
Many dates & lots of flight combinations available the next few months via EWR, FRA, MUC, ZRH, etc.
E.g. Sep 1 - Sept 6.
I found these on kayak, Google flights, united.com, etc.
You get 200% PQM on UA, about 6.7 CPQM.
Similar deals to ALA, IKA, DXB, DEL, etc.

Thanks OP - good find. ^ Looks like a repeat of the deals last fall and winter. I did a status mileage run in January and earned approx. 44,000 PQM for a five-day r/t. Will be interesting to see how long this lasts this time.

Interestingly, this fare was available a few weeks ago, but it gradually crept up to around $4K recently until the drop yesterday.
For mileage run, better deals can be had to Central & South America on UA. You can do SFO to BOG rt (e.g.) for ~$1000 in biz & earn nearly 20K PQM when routed via EWR.

I just missed this far. As someone else pointed out, this fare was available until a couple weeks ago. I booked my trip to India, but then lost the fare when I canceled to rebook. I ended up flying in PE and paid $2700.
Great fare OP!

Looks like you also need to apply for the visa within 34 days of travel? Per the gov't website application form. Won't let me apply now.
Also, looking for advice as someone who has never been - I think we'll be staying 2 nights including the night of arrival so getting there very early Sunday @ 1:30AM and out Tuesday @ 12:30 AM (Monday night). Should we just stay in Mumbai for the 48hrs we're there or is it worth going to Goa instead? Just wondering what people think. There's a 5:20am flight to Goa so works out fairly well if we decide to do that, but I also figure we'll be exhausted by that point so maybe just stay

Some good hotels near airport (Hyatt, ITC which is SPG) etc. If you land at 1:30 am, clearing immigration, customs etc will take another hour or hour and half. Best to take a hotel car for a 5 minute ride to one of these hotels and be in bed by 3:30 am or so!
