Can anyone please help confirm it, Since it is a return travel, ( I have already came from India through this route, but that time, the baggage was checked in through, so no issues in staying airside for ~6 hours), but this time, 1) Aeromexico agent on phone and chat, is telling me that they dont have interline agreement, so they would not be doing it through (Is it possible that In reality things are different then what they tell on phone), 2) My Transit time is > 15 hours and that too, calender day is changing.

I was told that AeroMexico agent at checkin will give me a transit ticket or something, and they will keep my passport with them, until I reach GRU, once at GRU, their agent would come and will direct me to the transit area, and they will help me by tagging my luggage to the next destination, byrecheckin on my behalf.

Has anyone has any past experience with similar experience.??
The chances of encountering an Indian passport holder flying the exact same route with the same airlines? Slim. (Here or on your TA post, where btw, most routine Brazil answers are flawed)
Going to a country for which you need a visa (transit or tourist) without one, simply trusting in information you got on the phone from one agent.......priceless.
