We now have TAS-DEL tickets in hand, but still no clarity on whether we'll be allowed to transit DEL without a transit visa. I managed to get through to the Indian embassy, but was advised to call back after lunch, so we shall see.
There's a flight to Seoul on Sunday, but this doesn't look like a good option (no reasonable connections to Australia), and the embassy has advised that foreign nationals may not be allowed to travel, so that one is out.
The Uzbek government has suspended all international flights, trains and road travel for 40 days, so we may be here a while.
