I have done this route last year.
1. Bags will be checked in kolkata through to Chicago
2. Normally boarding passes in kolkata
3. Immigration in Delhi. Make sure she has her boarding passes. In that case, going from Domestic to International in T3 is peanuts. Otherwise, the route is convoluted.

Air India 23
Depart: 8:15pm Kolkata, India Kolkata Netaji Subhas Chandra (CCU)
Arrive: 10:30pm Delhi, India Delhi Indira Gandhi Intl (DEL)
Change planes. Time between flights: 3hr 15min
Air India 127
Depart: 1:45am Delhi, India Delhi Indira Gandhi Intl (DEL)
Arrive: 7:10am Chicago, IL Chicago O'Hare International (ORD)
I have a few questions regarding this flight and I am getting conflicting answers to these when I called Air India support.
For departure (CCU to ORD)
1) Domestic/International terminal in Kolkata?
2) Will the bags be taken in Kolkata, and received in Chicago ?
3) Will both the boarding passes be be given at Kolkata?
4) Immigration formalities in Kolkata or Delhi ?
If someone has taken this connection, can you please clarify the details.
I am new to flyertalk, so please pardon me if I am missing out something in this post.
