AIR INDIA SFO-BOM Customs + Baggage ?
Hello,
I am flying from SFO-DEL AI 174 and the connecting to AI102 DEL-BOM with 1 Hour 5 minute connection time. My question is, do I clear customs in DEL or BOM? The other question is I am flying business class all the way and the baggage allowance shows on AI website as 2 piece 32KG and United shows 2 piece 23 kg. I dont know which one to believe? I booked award ticket through United. Thanks Your feedback would be really appreciated.

As Keyser said its 2 pcs with 32kg each and your immigration/customs would be at BOM also luggage checked all the way to BOM with only an A/C change in DEL - you would be handed your DEL-BOM BP in SFO itself - you just need to get through the transit security in DEL which is pretty straight forward!

I think i miss a crucial piece of information but my final destination would be Indore ( IDR ). Do you think IDR might play a role in United show 2 x 23 kgs.
Its still all business class.

Rather an old thread - But still as OP has mentioned above he is connecting INT-INT in DEL (AI 174 to AI102 which is JFK to BOM) so his customs/immi would be at BOM and not at DEL - it would only be a transit at DEL! And J passengers usually are escorted through by AI staff upon exiting A/C to AI102 so no issues wd 1 hour connection - have done it before!
