Skyteam DL: ATL - BLR $2495 (Flagship A350)
My First Post! Thought I'd share this fare that I came across - especially since this gives an opportunity to try out the new Delta A350 Delta One suites:
I can't post links yet - but just a regular google flights search from ATL should show this.
I found fares in October of this year on the DL132 A350 from DTW-AMS and onto BLR on Jet Airways.
There's plenty of fares in the $2400-$2500 range from ATL-BLR (albeit not on the A350 on all dates) on Delta and SkyTeam (Jet Airways) through the year - and it is wide open on availability. You have options on flying Air France/KLM/Virgin Atlantic on the way back from Europe; Europe-India-Europe is on Jet Airways.

Be careful when using Jet equipment on Delta.
I booked a flight ON Delta's website from BOS to Mumbai (using Jet equipment from LHR to BOM and BOM to LHR) and when i got home color me shocked when Delta wouldn't give me ANY miles whatsoever (MQMs or actual skymiles) for my leg from BOM to LHR. I called the Diamond line to inquire what was taking so long in it appearing and the agent told me that the flight wasn't marketed by Delta so therefore (Jet is not in the Sky Team yet) Delta had an agreement with them that they'd only give credit on Delta for Delta-marketed flights. Even though i bought this on Delta's website!! The agent who helped me book it told me I'd get full MQM allotment...and i contested this and lost. So check two to three agents before booking to make sure you will get credit for that Jet leg(s).

Yes, be careful, but if you consult the chart posted in this thread before you book, you will be alright. I just got back from two Jet segments (LHR-BOM, BOM-AMS) and got full MQM and MQS credit for both flights. Not to mention their hard product in business class is excellent and one of the better lie-flats you'll find anywhere.
Ha! I did check it. That segment was P class. And I told the agent this when i didn't get the credit. But they said that it only counted for Jet if it was marketed by Delta. I even explained that i purchased the fare on DELTA'S website! I'm not kidding. I appealed through the complaints area on website and same response.

Yes, this is the only time it's ever happened to me. I've flown their biz class 3 times (agree that the chair/bed is very comfortable and i also like their food infinitely better than AirFrance's). It happened on my outgoing segment from AMS to BOM but on the way back i got the credit. The agent explained to me that the way back was a "Delta marketed fare" and did NOT qualify.

You can route with the A350 (on the way out at least) without any Jet segments, for example here for $2592

I just got back from a flight ATL-AMS-BOM with the AMS-BOM on Jet, bought ticket on Delta.com and got MQM's. It was Z class which according to the chart should get 200% but I only got 150%. Will call them to ask to correct it.

There is an exception: if the marketing carrier is airline B and the operating is airline C and if B and C are not the same, and neither B nor C is Delta, then often you get nothing. ie Air France flight number operated by Jet Airways = 0 MQM.

The website where you bought the ticket doesn't matter. What matters is the first 2 letters in your flight number. That is called the marketing carrier. The rules for that airline generally apply.
There is an exception: if the marketing carrier is airline B and the operating is airline C and if B and C are not the same, and neither B nor C is Delta, then often you get nothing. ie Air France flight number operated by Jet Airways = 0 MQM.
