Crazy price hikes on the NYC-BOM route too. One stop flights around US$3500, non-stop around $4500.
Before the pandemic, non-stop business was like $3200!

Indeed.
And that's the saddest part about this situation if you think about it. Those who have the luxury of postponing travel, prices are normal post mid Jan.
These insane prices are being paid mostly by those who CAN'T travel at any other time.

People who HAVE TO travel in that Mid-Dec to Mid-Jan period typically can't get time off from work, university, or school to plan an visit with a decent duration at any other time of the year. And that compulsion usually correlates with your income, wealth, job status.
Basically another demonstration of the way this world we have built works. Those with wealth or flexibility will pay normal, even cheaper prices. Those without the wealth or flexibility will pay business class prices just in those few weeks. What a world!
