So looks like JFK-BOM has been shifted to the Etihad 77W with 8 F seats. My flight in mid December was changed to that plane (and looks like every day that aircraft type flies the route in Dec). Bummer they took off the DL 77L. I guess those will go to DFW/LAX? Looks like AI173/174 DEL-SFO has been...

Most if not all flights from BOM to Europe (at least European carriers) delayed by 2-3 hours.

That actually isnt the case. Average paid fare from DFW to India is about $775 per direction vs about $790 per direction for LAX. Very similar. LAX to India has more airline options than DFW to India which bring the average fare down for LAX. If LAX had the same number of carriers as DFW serving In...
