Bad Idea? Two separate tickets
I was trying to get a flight from ICN-BOM, and for some reason the last leg from DEL-BOM was coming up sold out from every airline expect AI when it finally tried to book.
I was able to book ICN-DEL on an Asiana codeshare with AI (Flight 317 ICN-HKG-DEL).
I also was able to book a separate ticket AI flight 317 DEL-BOM. I have just over two hours in DEL. Did I make a horrible mistake trying to put together two separate tickets? I figured being the same airline (and even flight number) all the way through I should have no issues trying to through check a bag and be somewhat protected in the case of any irrops.
