Its crazy that nobody told me anything about, haven't heard anything from the airline.
There is a place where you can have it printed for you for 30 RP, but beware the long lines that you need to wait it out. I had the luck that I was a FC pax on LH and I had somebody call outside their guy to talk to the officer at the door and show the flight manifest.
It didn't help showing confirmation on my phone, they need a "paper"..........
I don't want other people to go through hell like me and some others that I've witnessed going through.
It has been that way at DEL for more than a quarter of a century. I understand there was no way for you to know that in advance, but "hell" is strong as well as unwarranted. Why would anyone travel without an e-ticket receipt is beyond me, and blaming others for their folly is even more incomprehensible.
