Thanks for the report. I disagree with your last comment though. I suggest that passengers be prepared for the DOM > INTL transfer at DEL and have their bags checked through to the connecting flight. This will allow the passenger to avail themselves of the short cut access to immigration and the departures hall.
+1..
When u were just transitting in Delhi, why didnt u get your bages through checked ?? 9W and LH are partners and 9W could have easily given you boarding passes for the intl flight..
If you had done through checkin and had the Bp, it would have been quite smooth IMO..
