that’s it. air suvidha is serious stuff they seem to care about at boarding. in delhi immigration is hit and miss as they really expect the airline to have done all the screening/paperwork. have a good trip

Parents transited through DEL a few days ago. Airsuvidha was checked.

Now it has to be Rtpcr within 24 hrs

Actually, for returning it’s not 24 hours but 1 day. For example, if your flight is at 8pm, on 5th Jan, they will admit tests done anytime on 4th Jan

Flying back to chicago tonight - will let you know how it goes :)

Thanks p1 happy journey

No wifi, charging ports don't work, none of the screens work on the air India flight. Food is decent. Luggage Check in takes about 90 minutes and web check in didn't work for me.

If you have Star Gold use the business class line for check-in and boarding.
They just need a air suvidha receipt. It doesn't have to be approved before boarding. They are strict about 72 hr RT PCR rule.

Hardly any non US arrivals afternoon so customs is pretty chill at Delhi

You'll also get an additional checked bag with star gold (total 3*50lbs) and lounge access. Make sure you have to frequent flyer number on your booking and boarding pass

I flew united - you can upload air suvidha PCR and vaccine details online on their app and get a travel ready ticker on boarding pass. Then at the airport it’s smooth sail as usual. On arrival they only checked my vaccine card and rest was business as usual

Just give your parents / family number there for ref in india / it works

I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well
