Cheapticket's blog says "seems the world wants to fly to India these days" and announces that Delta is offering low fares of around $1200 return from anywhere in the US.
Delta was the 1st airline to fly New York - Bombay direct, though the 1st to fly direct to India was Continental into Delhi. Now Air India has joined the fray flying NYC - BOM direct and will so offer a direct from Delhi as well. Add to this Jet Airways direct to the US (2 hr stopover in Brussels but same plane) and Toronto and suddenly there is a surge in capacity to the US. This is reflective of the rapidly growing relations between the US and India, be it strategic, business or personal.
I recall I also read that a San Francisco - Bangalore direct is coming up as well.
In a year, the seat capacity between India and the US is likely to double. Imagine that: 60 years work in 1 year!

The Bangalore-San Francisco is being planned by Vijay Mallya. Kingfisher still has two more years before which they can operate internationally, so they are planning to segregate a fleet within Air Deccan which will make the trip.
