Hi all,

I have seen similar questions posted however for my own peace of mind I would like to ask about my specific situation!

Currently I have return flights from London to Mumbai. My plans have changed and I will no longer be spending any time in India, and will be in Nepal for my entire trip.

I would like to buy return flights from Mumbai to Kathmandu, which leave from the same Mumbai International terminal as the one I will be flying to and from London.

My inbound flight lands in Mumbai at 21.40 and the flight to Kathmandu would leave at 08.20 the following morning. Ideally I would like to avoid having to get a transit visa. The return flight would land in Mumbai at 17.30 and my flight to London leave at 00.20.

Am I able to check-in for my new Mumbai-Kathmandu flight (and then Mumbai-London on the way home) without going through immigration, and also have my luggage transferred to the next flight? I have read things about the International Transfers desk at Mumbai Arrivals, however I'm wondering if they are also able to manage my bags?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Luke
