MS - JNB-BOM - 19049 ZAR / $1042 r/t - Business
EgyptAir - Johannesburg, South Africa (JNB) to Mumbai, India (BOM) - $1042 roundtrip in business. The fares dropped about $700 for a roundtrip flight yesterday in October and November, and nearly every day in 2024 through end of schedule. The issue with these EgyptAir flights are the long layovers in Cairo.
If you want shorter connections, Kenya Airways also flies to Mumbai for 27489 ZAR / $1488 roundtrip using Boeing 737's for all four flights.

Interesting flights, and may be worth for some chasing status! Thanks for sharing!
But my wife won’t talk to me since I booked her on an MS flight in J.
