Bringing up this old thread.
So for India, do they still require airport verification before issuing BPs. I ask since India has ETAs now (for tourist, at least), thought maybe they would be able to issue BPs through OLCI by now. But maybe not?
Also, for LH, do you mean 24 hours prior, or 23 hours - which is when LH OLCI typically opens. I'll be flying via UA/LH as well to India, but even if I wait until the last second to check in at the airport, will still be over 23 Hours ahead of LH segment (2 fairly long layovers before my LH flight). I understand I should get seats for the LH flights auto-assigned to me at check in (though I'm not quite clear if that would happen if I use the app to OLCI, or if that would happen when agents do the doc verification at the airport). I assume the travel authorization for an e-visa is good enough for UA/LH?
