So I'm thinking of making a trip to India since it only 25k business (AA) from TLV-India.

What shots are recommended and where is a good place to get them in Jerusalem? Visa I am already looking into and hopefully will know more about eventually.

Yes, I know I might be crazy for taking a trip here.
Or you can do 45k UA and fly LH F thru FRA, cheapest way in the world to of fly LH F and get FCT.

Not sure if this was posted, but looks like India will be giving 30 day visas on arrival starting in October.

India & Thailand are VERY different. But, Thailand does not have strict (and expensive) visa rules like India does. Thailand is also better for shorter trips.

Reading around, it seems like India lets you get a visa on arrival now for 30 days

Yup, amazing deal. Don't forget that Jet Airways is a partner of AA as well, and can help you get around India or to other areas.
