Ugh! I've just started out on my big RTW explorer award trip, and I've made it to Australia.
But I've just learned that my research failed me. I'm supposed to go to India in a couple of weeks, and I should have applied for a tourist visa before I left. I thought I could get one an arrival, but that program doesn't start until October. I don't think I'll be allowed into the country.
That portion of the trip is NRT-DEL-HEL. After reading this thread, it sounds like I might be able to change the dates of that routing so that DEL is just a connection, not a stopover. That's probably best-case scenario, right now, unfortunately.
But I still wanted to ask - what happens if I just miss those segments? If I find my own way from NRT to DEL, can I pick up the rest of my trip, there? Or would missing a segment cause the rest of the RTW ticket to get canceled?
