India

My mom was supposed to fly back to the US today with Qatar and they cancelled her flight and just issued a refund. No rebooking at all. We’ve been trying to book anything out of India since then. Tried routes through Singapore, Japan, Europe, etc. Flights show as available, but...

A friend of mine is currently stuck in India after her Etihad return flight was cancelled because of the Iran conflict. I’m trying to figure out the cheapest way to get her back to the US. Right now, one way tickets are much more expensive than some round trip fares on European...

Arriving into Delhi Airport Terminal 3 (international) around 2:00 AM, then flying out again around 8:00 AM from Terminal 1 (domestic). The concern is what to do during those few hours in between. Booking a hotel in Aerocity feels a bit unnecessary for such a short time. After...

Tried applying for an Indian business eVisa and the whole process has been incredibly frustrating. After paying £189 on the official site, there was no confirmation email or application reference. Contacted support and two days later they replied saying no application exists...

That’s frustrating, especially when you saw it included at booking. With IndiGo, meals are usually tied to the PNR and show up under “SSR” or services on the boarding pass or in their device. If it’s not there, cabin crew generally won’t hand one out because catering is loaded...

Anyone else notice this? YVR to DEL used to be the one solid direct option for people in or near Vancouver. After the Pakistan airspace issues it stopped being nonstop and had that Kolkata refueling stop, which was annoying but understandable. Now I’m seeing a stop in Vienna,...

I’m flying from India to Europe on Lufthansa and I’m a bit stressed about my name on the ticket. My passport doesn’t have a last name. Because of that, my frequent flyer profile ended up weird, and the booking now shows my name as: First name: ABCD Last name: ABCDEF There’s no...

I have a 6 hour layover in Goa this July, arriving GOI around 1pm and leaving at 7pm. I’m 24F, 5'3", white, blonde. I dress conservatively when needed, don’t engage with strangers much, and I’m not planning on drinking alcohol. Ideally I’d love to leave the airport, see a beach,...

Planning a trip to India soon and will be returning to the US with a passport that expires about 5 months after my entry date. I do have a US green card valid until 2032. I called Emirates and they said it shouldn’t be an issue, but I’m still a bit uneasy since I know some...

Hi everyone. I’m struggling with this and would really appreciate honest advice. My wife and I are supposed to travel to India in March. The main reason is to visit my mom in Roorkee, who couldn’t attend our wedding. I’m Indian and have traveled there many times. My wife is...

Booked a round trip on Air India Express Lite for 4 people under the same PNR. When I checked the ticket details, only one passenger shows 15kg checked baggage and the other three show 0kg. After looking into it, I realized Express Lite doesn’t include checked baggage by...

I don’t have a credit card and my family is very cautious about them, so lounge access through CCs isn’t an option for me right now. I’ve actually never used an airport lounge because of that. For those who pay out of pocket, what does lounge access usually cost at Indian...

Flying Canada to Tokyo with a 26 hour layover in Delhi. No checked bags. Plan is to stay at the airside Holiday Inn and never leave the airport. Here’s the catch: this is technically a self transfer. My ticket is one PNR on points (Air India to DEL, then ANA to HND). My wife’s...

Just got back to the US through DTW after a trip to India and wanted to share how customs actually went, since I stressed about this way too much beforehand. We had about $8,800 in purchases total, around $7k of that was new jewelry bought in India. We had everything itemized...

Flew US to BLR via Doha on Qatar, and the last leg on Indigo only loaded one of my two bags. AirTag showed the other one still sitting in DOH, and the staff admitted it was left behind because of load issues. First time this has ever happened to me. They say it’ll be delivered...

Just wanted to share what happened on my Mumbai–Cairo trip. I had an Egypt e-visa, flew EgyptAir outbound and Flynas on the way back. Heard from other travelers that EgyptAir might block boarding if your return isn’t on the same airline, so I checked. Called EgyptAir they said...
