So my friend and I made a last minute change to our itinerary and will now be transiting through BLR. We stupidly forgot to check the visa requirements for entering India until today and our flight is tomorrow so it is too late to apply for the visa now. We are only staying at BLR for 15 hours so we want to use the airside airport hotel, which I found out is at the domestic terminal. We are flying in from BKK so I'm assuming I will arrive at the international side.

So my question is, would I be able to move from the international terminal to the domestic terminal (to our airport hotel) without a visa? What about our luggage? We are flying TA from BKK then connecting to AI from BLR to MLE all in J class (if that matters).

We just want to get some rest since we arrive late night then depart the following afternoon and I'm also a bit concerned if our luggage can be checked all the way through since I know some airlines/airports make you re-check luggage even if the flights are on the same alliance and ticket.

Thanks!
