And bashing the OP a little more...

I’m not sure if visa rules have changed recently (and I’m not quite convinced there was a dual transit scheme to begin with but I could be wrong) but expecting to do an inter country (India or almost any other country for that matter) without a visa is asking for trouble. Lucky for OP that China is an exception!

Applying for an e-Visa before hand should be the SOP for such trips. Had you been exiting the country from DEL it would have been different and OP would have had grounds for argument but not compensation.

Of course if they knew visa was an issue I don’t know how they could ask you the go to DEL and the hope for the best... that’s just crazy on AI’s part.
