Domestic boarding passes should have "D"

I have sent an email to the customer service at Delhi duty free, waiting for a reply.

Buying after arrival in COK, since I arrived from Delhi, I am not sure if they will accept my YYZ-DEL transit boarding pass.

I usually fly EK J to COK. Thought of trying out AI this time.

They will accept your YYZ-DEL BP. So keep that handy. Don't worry about the D's & T's and what nots. I'd buy at DEL because I'd get better choices there.

Also while I've only flown to COK a couple of times I've really not seen a duty free there.

So it must be really hidden really well or I've just completely missed it. I do remember something being there before picking up luggage, but not before immigration.
