“Indian National travelling from Kathmandu via delhi to a third country may be required to obtain an NOC from Emabasy Of India Kathmandu prior to travel”. Has anyone experienced this?

Saw this on Air India website and am wondering if this is already happening?

I booked a multicity trip through MakeMyTrip yesterday. One flight booking has a valid PNR that I can verify, but for my Kuala Lumpur–Bengaluru AirAsia flight, the PNR provided by MMT cannot be found on AirAsia's website.

I contacted MMT customer support, and they told me the booking is confirmed under a special fare and that I'll receive the actual PNR/ticket only 24 hours before departure.

I'm concerned because this is an international flight, and I want to verify that my seat is actually secured.

Has anyone experienced this with MMT or AirAsia? Did you eventually receive your ticket, and were you able to verify the booking with the airline beforehand?

What steps would you recommend to get written confirmation before the departure date?

I have to travel to Bangalore and Air India express flight which was scheduled for Friday and Sunday got cancelled one after the other. I have to travel this week so i booked Oman Air which has layover in muscat. Do you think it's a good idea to travel? Is the airport safe for the flight to take off without any issues?

I had flights booked SFO - DEL route for Dec 2026 and Jan on AI 173/174. Got a change in itinerary email with rebooking on AI 183/184. Those timings don't work for us.

I saw in another thread this may be part of their winter schedule change. Does anybody know if AI 173/174 are part of their winter schedule or these flights don't run in Dec/Jan

I need to decide if I should take refund and just book another airline because AI 183/184 don't work at all for us

Same as above, validity till 9th of November

Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming Air India journey from Hyderabad to Guwahati via Delhi on 11 October.

- AI-2520: Hyderabad → Delhi, arriving at T3

- AI-879: Delhi → Guwahati, departing at 6:40 AM next morning from T3

- Layover: around 8 hours

- Both flights are Air India and both are scheduled from Terminal 3.

Since this is a long overnight layover, I'm wondering if I can exit Delhi Airport after arriving and go outside for a few hours, then return to T3 around 4–4:30 AM for my onward flight.

Has anyone recently done this with a domestic Air India connection at Delhi T3?

Also:

1. Will I be allowed to exit normally after arriving?

2. If my checked baggage is tagged through to Guwahati, does that create any issue?

3. Do I need to check in again for the Delhi–Guwahati sector?

4. Is there anything specific I should be aware of with an overnight layover?

Looking for recent first-hand experiences .

Thanks!

I am more than happy to pay Air India directly at the 1.5rs/pt rate. But my account is not eligible due to not having flights, and I cannot get flights since I am not currently in India. Any one know any good, legal or illegal, ways to get around this? I'd happily pay someone here too (say at 1.2 or 1.25) but nobody is selling anymore.

Do you recommend taking the premium economy on Air India flights?

Going from Mauritius to New Delhi

I made bookings from SFO-KTM via delhi but they keep on changing the flights. Now it absolutely makes no sense as on manage booking, it shows i will land in delhi at 4:55 and will fly put 4:35 the same day. I tried reaching out via chat on website, and that says to call customer service. I am in US so i called their US hotline but nobody picks up as its all machine and hangs up on its own.

Curious if anyone knows a better way to reach customer service. I tried the ai chat, whatsapp and they give me toll free # but again no one picks it up.

Any help is much appreciated

BLR to DEL - AI 428 • B787-800
Does anyone know if this flight is the new refurbished Boeing 787-800 or is it still the old one ?

Is it worth considering a Business Class seat in this one ? Like I would consider it only if its the new aircraft.
